I dumped Sprint in favor of AT&T after verifying that Sprint had
programmed their computer to reveal my billing info to anybody who
called them knowing my phone number.

I hope this convergence of rates will encourage more people to dump
Sprint for the privacy reason.  After hanging up on some dolt of a
Sprint Rep who wouldn't get me a supervisor, I got a really nice one
(via a nice rep) who listened to my explanation of why I was dropping
them.  I was assured that my reasons would be passed along.

I also signed up for a 10223 account with Cable & Wireless, suppliers
of my spiffily spelled programmable 800 number.
