Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below Regards, [redacted] I stand behind my original complaint I complain NOT for myself but for other elderly people I am suggesting that many older people get Great Call because of its "health Alert" appsand with that being okay, they don't mind being charged extra for data usage My data usage with sprint, Verizon and then with Great Call were accurate I've never exceeded data usage except with Great Call! Never! In order to curtail data usage, Great Call was advising me that I had to basically change my habits; I habitually leave my computer on sleep; I leave games on, etc They wanted me to begin logging off of everything and shutting down my computer at night -- these are things I am just too dang old to do And, too ornery, too I still maintain that IDF Great Call is going to patronize and solicit business from old people, then they shouldn't expect them to change their entire lives I just got my new Verizon bell and I have used almost no data! The cast is closed as far as I am concerned If Revdex.com is okay with old people getting shafted, then I am sure the FCC and everyone else is also
