Congrats! This works for a lot of different types of bills. I just got my cell phone bill lowered by $20 a month a few months ago by calling and asking what the cancellation fee was because I was going to switch to prepaid to save money. They put me on hold for a minute, came back on the line, and told me they were lowering my bill by $20 and gave me unlimited minutes.
Damn, lucky! :(
I called to cancel and get back to prepaid ( Virgin mobile, PLEASE AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!! ). Not only did it take 3 different people to manage this incredible feat but I haven't yet been able to register my credit card on their website to buy a prepaid card, after 2 calls and talking to 4 people.
They were supposed to call back within 24 hours, having fixed the issue. 48 hours later they hadn't even gotten to my file ( I called) and it's now a week later and they haven't called back. They are the most incompetent idiots of all time and I am sorry I ever signed up with them... ARGGLE. lol
If anyone is reading this, please avoid Virgin Mobile :D
Good job on the contract deals though, have to remember that... So hilarious how rich these companies are. They'll happily cut fees down in half and still make cash and they buy entire stores at the mall that just sell phones and cellphone plans. When I see this massive waste, I know I'm getting screwed.
