Ma Bell can lick my peehole

I hate phones and phone companies. I really do.

The only phone I have is my cellphone. It's still got a Buffalo number. I want a local number.

Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong.

T-mobile can't give me a local number because they don't have towers in this area code. Even though I get GREAT service from them. The closest number they could give me would be a Grand Rapids number (- ie 2 hours away and the next area code over -) ... SUCK ASS

The cellphone companies that DO have local numbers all want ridiculous amounts for their phones. SUCK ASS

I really don't want to go the cable phone (ie vonage etc etc etc) route as I don't feel like paying another 30+ bucks a month for something I'd use MAYBE 50 minutes a month on. Because I'd still need my cellphone due to all the time I am away from home.

So I thought I'd see about getting a lifeline using the fact I'm a disabled vet, tribal member, on tribal land. When SBC owned the local lines, they did have tribal lifeline available for the LRBOI. But now that AT&T bought them out, there's only 8 tribes in the whole fucking state they recognize. Yeah Fuck you AT&T. Fuck you with a rusty serreted iron dildo dipped in pigshit.

And I make too much to qualify for lifeline through VA.

Yeah ... fuck a duck.
