hmmm interesting, just got my 1st US Cellular "courtesy call" from their financial services department. I did accidently skip one month's regular $50 bill, but they've gotten their money from me every time for over 3 years. (sorry MB, I had to break down and get one for safety purposes in the mountains). Sure seem nervous. My payment had already been en-route for 3 days at the time. I missed the earlier cellular rag session but would like to add that the new digital service totally sucks. I had great connections with analog the first couple years then my analog phone broke. They basically gave me a new digital for free and I gave them my old analog. Called back in a couple days to get my old analog back and repair it but they "couldn't find it". I've called or stopped by their office 6 or 7 times so far with only unfulfilled promises. I signed the 2 year contract so they're done with me. ufb

>>WorldCom's CEO Ebbers Resigns Amid Board Pressure Over Probe By REBECCA BLUMENSTEIN and JARED SANDBERG Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK -- Bernard J. Ebbers resigned as chief executive of WorldCom Inc., the once-tiny long distance company that he built into one of the world's largest telecommunications empires only to watch it fall. Mr. Ebbers, who is 60 years old, reached his decision Friday under pressure from outside directors frustrated with the company's sinking stock price, controversy over Mr. Ebbers's $366 million personal loan from the company and the wide-ranging investigation of the firm by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Ebbers offered to step down at a meeting with those directors Friday afternoon and continued discussions about it on Saturday. He formally turned in his resignation Monday, and the company is expected to announce his departure early Tuesday.<<
