Yesterday,10/11/04, a women calls me at my office and asks if I've given permission for my carrier to be changed to a different provider for my 2 lines. I tell her NO. She then proceds to tell me about SBC's new services, where I can get $200 credit and 15% off all services, for a 2 year contract, if I switch to SBC. What a blatant ripoff marketing ploy. Beware SBC. They use the concern of being slammed to pitch their services.

My second posting has the first half of the terms and conditions of yellow page advertising here is the second, please read this carefully because you are giving up your rights as a consumer if SBC publishes the ad wrong without your approval. So read very care fully: http://sbcsmartyellowpages.com/pages/advertising_contracts/contract_pdf/core_contract.pdf

Well, an update to my previous complaint. I have an attorny who is handling this case now.SBC's claim is that I gave the wrong phone number to the sales rep and they based their second motion off that and that is what the Judge sided with. SBC will have to prove that I gave the wrong phone number! http://sbcsmartyellowpages.com/pages/advertising_contracts/contract_pdf/ams_contract.pdf Anyone who is reading this article please beware of SBC's terms and conditions with their yellow page advertising. Read every thing carefully. I would also like to know of anyone with anyone who has had an experiance like mine. I will keep this article up to date as the case progesess. Please beware that SBC will do everything in their power to show that you are the one who is wrong. Whatever happend to customer service? Don't expect it with SBC. If you stumble upon this page without reading the first article please go to: http://ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff100501.htm to get the whole story and if you have any questions please respond and I will give you more detail!

Another SWBYP ripoff. According to them a year can have 13 months. Sign a 1 year contract and it's for 13 months. Kind of like Tx DOT's month, 1 month=42 days.
