Anyone here have Working Assets Wireless?

[SHRED]

I want some feedback from Working Asset Wireless subscribers.

I want out of my evil Verizon account but I am torn.

AT&T is unionized:

But they hand over their private records like candy to the Bushies it appears:

WA rents usage of the Sprint network but I am leary of Sprint's commitment to it's workforce.


What would you do?
AT&T or Working Assets?

1. These are good questions. I would love to hear from people

who have working assests.

2. We are thinking about this deal through DFA

Haven't totally made up our minds yet. Have a year to go on our present contract, but they will buy it up through this deal.

Don't know all the ins and outs of it, though.

10% of the monthly charges sent to DFA as a donation.

Now there's a new way to take our country back: DFA Wireless. When you call with DFA Wireless, 10% of your charges go directly to Democracy for America. Now the phone calls you make every day will build our movement and fight for a progressive America.

DFA Wireless is powered by Working Assets, the phone company with a social conscience. Since 1985, Working Assets has donated over $50 million to progressive nonprofits like Human Rights Watch, Natural Resources Defense Council and the ACLU

I think 30 minutes a month are free for political progressive calls.

3. I wonder what the difference is...

...between the DFA and just the plain WA account?

9. Probably about the same deal, but DFA benefits financially

would be my guess. And WA gets more customers. I believe the last email said several thousand had signed up already. It was a fairly recent offer.

6. Will they really "buy out" your contract?

I called WA today and they said I needed a special "promo code".

Did you call them?

[madfloridian]

8. Not yet.

Still in the thinking stage. If you click the link there at the DFA site it takes you a place to put your zip and get a code.

Just have not checked that much yet.

4. I'm kinda locked into ATT Cingular

or whatever the hell they are calling themselves these days. It has to do with reception in the mountainous region in which I live. I do have a Working Assets credit card and I do use Working Assets for long distance.

5. I am "locked" into Verizon until...

...Jan 21st.

If I quit them now it is $130 per line which equals $260 total cost for me to back out.

Working Assets only does "buy outs" of existing contracts if you are lucky enough to be mailed a 6 digit code.
I tried to get them to give me a promo code today but they didn't have the "authority" to do that. At least the people I spoke with.
Told them I am ready RIGHT NOW to switch but they couldn't credit me for the penalty I would face by leaving Verizon.

They will do "buy outs" but I don't know the process.

I noticed on the DFA site they do it so I will call them and see.
