Telesluts
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
What is a teleslut? Any one of the numerous people that are slaves
|
|
to their communication devices. Phones, pagers, and cells are the main
|
|
enslaving devices. With the rapid increase of new technology in the
|
|
communications field, more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon
|
|
to have that technology. Normally I am all for that, as it gives more
|
|
money to those developing the technology, and more research is done.
|
|
In this case, it is causing more of the 90's mentality to go with it.
|
|
Ever see the young corporate types walk into a building wearing
|
|
a 30 dollar suit, 70 dollar pair of sunglasses, a pager, and a Motorola
|
|
flip phone? They are trying to fit into the wealthy yuppie appearance
|
|
to impress those around them. I have to wonder what one thinks when
|
|
he runs into another one though. Since I am on both sides of the cell/pager
|
|
market, and get to see the selling and the buying side, I get to laugh
|
|
when I see these people posturing as if they are a high and mighty important
|
|
person.
|
|
The truth is, in so many of the cases, they paid all of one penny
|
|
for their phone. Most of them will usually pay about 15 to 30 dollars
|
|
a month for overpriced service so they can retain the phone. After one
|
|
year of getting ripped off, they keep the phone, and are able to go on
|
|
about the same rate if they want service. If you were able to look at
|
|
their bills for airtime, you would notice over 75% of them don't even use
|
|
their phones for 30 minutes a month. The other interesting part of their
|
|
cellular plan is they get 30 minutes of air time without a charge.
|
|
With their pagers, they usually pay about 40 bucks for the pager,
|
|
and 7 bucks a month for service. 90% of their pages are from friends
|
|
wanting to bullshit with them. The original use of a pager is long lost
|
|
in the desire to be cool and fit in. Look at how many 13 to 18 year olds
|
|
carry pagers at school. All their friends are in school with them (some
|
|
have dropped out), so they have no legitimate need to carry it, yet they
|
|
do. It has become a status symbol.
|
|
I have a pager myself, because I run a business out of my house,
|
|
work a 40 hour a week job, and don't spend too much time at the house.
|
|
I have cell service because I get a huge discount since I am a reseller
|
|
of cell service. If I only worked and stayed at home, I wouldn't have
|
|
a pager. If the service wasn't so cheap (3 cents a minute), then I wouldn't
|
|
have a cell phone.
|
|
|
|
I live in Denver (USWest territory), so the following section
|
|
applies to that phone company (and some others probably). USWest is
|
|
pushing for more add ons to your normal service because it makes them
|
|
money. Stop to think about the services they offer. Voice mail? Conveniant,
|
|
but over one year of paying for it, you could have had an answering machine
|
|
that would last at least a couple of years. Call forwarding? To what, that
|
|
pager or cell phone you barely use?
|
|
The biggest rip off service they offer is Caller ID. I am constantly
|
|
amazed that the stupidity of the people I deal with in regards to phone
|
|
service. People go to stores wanting the little caller ID box, and spend
|
|
from 45 to 90 dollars on a unit with 'the most features'. Half of them
|
|
go home, plug it in, and bitch at the store because it doesn't work.
|
|
After they realize they have to have the service from the phone company,
|
|
they bitch at USWest because they keep getting 'Call Blocked'. It costs
|
|
them just under 10 bucks a month for the service. On top of that the
|
|
expensive box. Why? So they can tell who is calling them right? Why
|
|
does USWest offer another service for FREE that allows a phone subscriber
|
|
to have ALL OUTGOING calls from their house PERMANANTLY blocked for
|
|
Caller ID?
|
|
When I make a call from my place, it is automatically Caller ID
|
|
blocked. For those who don't call to have that put on their line, they
|
|
can just hit a three button 'star' code and block it for that call.
|
|
So the customer paying all the money is not getting what he or she payed
|
|
for in most cases. If someone is going to take the time to prank call you,
|
|
do you think they are not going to block Caller ID?
|
|
|
|
Overall, people are paying a ton for these services. Upwards
|
|
of 25 bucks for the phone bill, 30 for the cell, 7 for the pager,
|
|
all so they can be reached any time, any where. People are gladly
|
|
getting ripped off, so they are considered cool, rich, hip, or whatever
|
|
else.
|
|
A cell and a pager don't make you cool. They make you a slave
|
|
to the telecommunications industry.
