Wait just a second... You mean to tell me at&t is cheating? Say it ain't so! Hopefully the FCC goes full force against them.

I've had someone use this service once to call the Garlic Jim's Pizza I managed a few years back. They held me up and attempted to scam me for 45 minutes during our busiest time of the night. I finally was able to convince the translator that is was a scam and finished the call. I estimate that we lost about 20 orders ($200-$350) during the time wasted on the phone. I was not happy to say the least.

Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
