Episode 4 Aftercast: More on Cell Phone Fees, Fee-baits and Deals

Here is the audio to our latest show. 


At 3:10, we discuss the problems with getting AT&T "Feebaits" on your telephone, and specifically refer to this article on the Visa Gift cards you get after 8 weeks of waiting - guess what, more hassles using the money they promised you.
