So, its been on my list to switch over from the rental insurance that my apartment complex recommended (kickback, cough cough), to our preferred insurance provider. You know the one that rhymes with ‘fate harm’. We took a pretty big hit when I canceled the homeowner’s policy. Turns out multi-line (house and auto) racks up…

You really have to get Site-To-Store pick up figured out. On Thursday, I bought a budget Android tablet on-line.  They happened to have it in stock at the location right down the street from me.  So, I pulled the trigger.   I got an email a few minutes later saying that it’ll take up to  4…

Finally pulled the plug on my Vonage line.  We’re getting by just fine with the cell phones these days.   The only folks that call the old number are telemarketers.  Man, the cancellation process was almost comical in the lengths that the account manager will go to get you keep the line. I spent a good…

So, I’ve been trying to log into my sprint customer account for a few days to update my billing address after my recent change of address. So, I fire up my password key ring and dig out my login credentials. I copy and paste them over and click the login button. Sorry, bad username or…
