It took me less than ten minutes to cancel my home phone. During this time I spoke with two customer service guys, shared a few laughs, got offered a 40% discount, and hung up victorious without having to wait the required full 30 days to be free of my phone bill. Not only did I save money, I saved a lot of time too. So how did I make it past two customer service agents without pulling out my hair, succumbing to dehydration, or eating my landline? Easy.
