Cell Phone conversations...

Did ya ever notice that cell phone calls are almost always xx minutes and, like three seconds (meaning it charges you an extra minute)? Especially during peak hours. Another thing I've noticed recently is that voice mail messages- the kind generated by the cell provider- are getting waaaay longer, I assume so it takes up another minute just to leave a message. "If you would like to leave a message, you may do so after the beep, or, you may press 1 now, when you are done, hang up, or stay on the line for other options... options such as: faxing, email, text messaging, teletyping, or morse code... to leave a fax, press 2, to leave...



(One minute 13 seconds later)... BEEEEEP.

I called my cell phone company and told them to knock off those type of calls. No more problems.
