Truth in Advertising is long gone...


AT&T false advertising? Using the word UNLIMITED in their marketing, when its not even remotely close to the definition of the word. Maybe we should outlaw using the word MARKETING, since it really means LIES. Im glad my wifes cellphone contract finally expired. She was paying over $90mo for her 3GS cellphone bill. With MySimpleMobile (off of the Tmobile backbone), she says she has better service, unlimited data, texting and calling for only $40mo!
