Oh don't turn away Catherine, you're so beautiful when you're sad. I have to bring up at this point that I'm reading and loving Kathy Griffin's memoir and when I got to the chapter that begins "I wasn't always a whore." I doubled over laughing.
Feel free to say to yourselves as you read, "That Blue Gal, she wasn't always a whore to cell phone companies. Alas, those days are gone." ***
Hey I don't want to engage in regular blogvertising posts, nor do I want to spam my email list, ever, but honestly this is a really amazing marketing thing to liberals (rare) and it's worth it to whore this space out for one post only to let my readers know about it.
I've been meaning to switch to Credo cell phone service for a long time -- they give money to Doctors without Borders and lots of other causes I believe in -- but my contract with Zeta-Jones expires in January and I thought I'd wait. Credo is obviously motivated in making sure I don't wait.
They gave me
- a totally free phone, including shipping and handling free (okay it's not a Blackberry or I-phone, but I seriously don't need that much technology in my purse when 5yo decides I should "hold" her opened juice box for her.)
- keep my old number
- pay off my old contract with Catherine (sob!)
- 10% discount on my bill for 24 months
- no activation fee
In the end for no real inconvenience or added expense on my part I'm splitting my monthly cell phone bill in half and the profit they make off of me is going to Doctors Without Borders instead of Catherine Zeta-Jones' waterproof mascara budget?
That's a no-brainer.
PS if you're on AT&T, Open Secrets wants you to know:
During the 2000 election cycle, AT&T was the country's top corporate contributor, donating $5.9 million to federal candidates and parties, including $47,400 to George Bush for his presidential run. The company supplied another $1 million to the GOP for the Republican national convention in Philadelphia, where Bush won his party's nomination.
And you're reading THIS blog? Switch before you come back here. I'll wait.
If you want this same deal I got, call 1-877-76CREDO with the special offer code: 800222 and the coupon code ZCJGG. If you give them the coupon code that gives me an even lower phone bill next month, and you are completely absolved from participating in my October fundraiser, the end. Website is here, where they still say you have to call them. I hate that social interaction part, but there it is.
We now return to regularly-scheduled deep thought posting of political and socialistic import; and to make this ad thing up to you the post below is on sex toys and condoms. Yay! xoxo
***Then call Catherine Zeta-Jones and after weeping a few tears with her, tell her you're calling from a CREDO cell phone and, in your best Kathy Griffin impersonation, let her know she can "suck it."
Darn it, Credo uses the Sprint network, which is not reliable in several places I frequent. Otherwise I'd consider it.
ReplyDeleteThey have phones that don't have any wires? Wow! You mean like with little antennas and stuff? I gotta get me one of those!
ReplyDeleteDifferent regions have *best service* w different providers.... or yea, I'd like to have a part of my bill go to Doctors w/o Borders.
ReplyDeleteI don't deal w Zeta-Jones.... rather those
*Can you hear me now* people, Verizon.
I have the same problem as Brian. I'd be fine here in Atlanta, but they don't coverage in northern Michigan is spotty at best.
