RE: Microsoft, T-Mobile Look to Recover Most Sidekick User Data
Especially among those who lost significant data, I think there's a fair amount of outage outrage among Sidekick-ers. I wanted to add a strategy to reduce your cell bill by around 20 percent for those T-Mobile customers (or even people with other carriers, for that matter) who want aren't satisfied and want to go farther than the discounts, coupons and freebies. I'll cut to the chase: I work in the consumer advocacy division of the company Validas, where we electronically audit and subsequently reduce the average cell bill by 22 percent through our website, http://www.fixmycellbill.com . Put simply, Validas guards against frivolous and unnecessary charges that inflate your cell bill more than it should be for your usage. You can find out for free if fixmycellbill.com can modify your plan to better suit your needs by going to the website.
For more info, check out Validas in the media, most recently on Fox News at http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/consumer/conlaw/lower_cell_phone_bills_072409 .
Good luck to everyone on further reducing those wireless costs.
