 Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 6:13 pm Post subject: KTF really really p*sses me off |
 |
|
ever since i got a phone with these *ssholes i keep getting overcharged... then i pay the inflated bill because if i don't they cut me off... then i get my girlfriend to go to one of the shops with me and all the receipts and then they apologize and reimburse me... then the cycle repeats... inbetween i get these obnoxious text messages and actual calls when they know full well i have no idea what the h*ll they are saying...
i think it's a scam, they know i am a foreigner with minimal Korean and they are trying to launch their new 3G network right, so they are inflating the bills of waygooks hoping this will slip by... f*cking corkholes...
has anybody else been getting jacked around by KTF lately? |

SK has been good to me. 
The mobile bills are so small I keep thinking it's a mistake (4000 to 12000 a month, never more than 20,000) but after a few years of that I don't want to rock the boat! |

| I got a KTF phone through a Korean last year and they totally overcharged me. I never really used it, and my bill was 60,000 a month. A friend told me about wineeconsulting.com/ prepaid phones. They're used phones, nothing amazing, but cheap...and no BS like KTF, with their Spam and "multi-(fudge)pack". |

If I got a cell phone with SK and planned on making a lot of calls to Canada with it, say 3-4 hours a month, what do you think the bill would run me? Would it be too much to afford? |

| A marketing ploy? No, just giving someone who went through the same *beep* I did with KTF advice. Do you really think Ryan Lee knows what a fudgepack is, by the way? ha ha |

whatever phone u are using you just use an international calling card and it is pretty cheap. i wouldn't phone home without a card. I'm on SK prepay(i just buy the 10/000 won cards when i buy my international calling card) but that is irrelevant to calling home. Whatever company you are with just use the cards. |

I dunno. I have everyone overseas call me. Don't think I pay a red cent. And back home there are plenty of long distance savings plans for them to be the one to call. |

If you have a computer, all you need is headphones with a mike and Yahoo Instant Messenger. I call the US for $.01 per minute. It's also very inexpensive to Canada. You can call other computers free, or land line phones for very little. |

I was afraid that you had the same avatar. We don't always end up on the same threads so I didn't know for certain. Damn, I really like this one a lot. I ganked mine off of MySpace how about you? I'll do some looking for a new one tomorrow, I received an unforseen midweek holiday. |
