Cell Phone Minutes vs Earth Minutes
Did you know it is possible to use up all your 450 daytime minutes within a 50 minute window? This whole idea of rounding up is just way off. Say you dial a number and let the clock get to :01 seconds, you get charged for a full minute. You hang up and dial again during that same earthly minute, you have used up 2 minutes in a matter of seconds. Continuing this process 9 times per earth minute for 1 earth hour you have most likely exceeded your cell phone time for the month.
The process of going to school and learning how to round was a needless activity for future cell phone company executives. Perhaps I'm naive and the cost of operating a huge wireless network requires anal lube and no morals. But if I'm right, don't worry, I've got a suggestion. Short of creating a website, getting every U.S. cell phone user to go to that website and change their minds on the issue of why we need cell phones, I say we pay somebody to spend a day of their life turning his or her earth minutes into cell phone minutes....enter that person in to the Guiness book of world records for "most minutes lived during a day" (this would be
merely for fun), and sue a phone company for charging us extra minutes. How sweet would that be? I'll paint you the picture....Court Room....Judge....Cell Phone Attorney....Guy who got charged for using 12,960 minutes (psss, there are only 1,440 earth minutes/day) in one day by a cell phone company. If you don't find humor in that, go back to texting American Idol contestants and have a good day.
