Everyone Hates Their Wireless Carrier
It appears that one thing the wireless carriers are good at these days is bringing lots of people together to complain about their mobile phone service. The Better Business Bureau is reporting that the mobile phone industry is one of the most complained about industries for the second year running (only two years?!?). While they were the most complained about industry in 2002, they improved ever so slightly in 2003 with a marginal drop in complaints that allowed the always popular car dealership contingent to overtake them for the top spot in the "most complained about industries" award category. I'm still waiting to see the study that says that people who jumped to switch their carriers when number portability came about are now just as (if not more) dissatisfied with their new carrier as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
