iPhone Users Save $40 per month; “call here”

We heard rumblings last week about the Verizon and AT&T battle that finally benefits users in a big way.  Last Friday, within hours of Verizon announcing they were dropping their monthly rates for smart phone users, AT&T followed suit.  Tell me they hadn’t already done contingency plans to be ready. You’d have thought AT&T would have done it first to take the advantage, but no matter.  Now I can have my iPhone and $80 a month more in my pocket: that’s $40 per line!

Here’s what you need to do:iphone iPhone Users Save $40 per month; call here

1. dial 611 from your iPhone

2. press 1 to confirm you are calling from your phone

3. press 5 for sales

4. press 1 to change service

5. your call will be transferred to a sales rep who will not only convert you with no penalty to the new price plan, but will make it retroactive to the start of the current billing cycle.

Now, that’s great service! And, you can use half of your first month’s savings to purchase Rock the World with your Online Presence (available on Amazon for only $19.95!)

    Lori,

    I feel your pain. Unfortunately they went a step further with me and they wiped my account completely. They also wiped my Link Power Group with almost 3,000 people in it. And the most frustrating element in all of this is that you can’t have a conversation with someone other than via email – which is incredibly inefficient and loses context.

    I applaud you for the extra steps you took with going to the BBB. LinkedIn has benefited immensely from the work of people like you and me have done. We are evangelists who are touting the benefits of the site and HELPING the community take advantage of them. Most people I run across have an ineffective profile and do zero with the site. As a result they add nothing to the LinkedIn community and the LinkedIn company. Once we show people the value of LinkedIn, many of them upgrade to paid status – again bringing revenue to the company. 

    They should be bringing us in to Palo Alto and thanking us for all the work we do for them – for FREE.

    But alas that would make too much sense.:-)

    I’ll leave you with the most ironic thing. They recently brought Tony Hsieh – Author of “Delivering Happiness” and CEO of Zappos.com to deliver a talk to the LinkedIn employees. I doubt that the people in the compliance department attended :-)
