A L E R T!!!! A L E R T!!!!

MEMO:

FROM: Office of the President

DATE: May 7, 2011

SUBJECT: International Phone Roaming Charges

CONCERNS: All TCF Members

Just a note, I talked to Verizon, about taking my smart phone into Canada. They informed me that I would be internationally roaming. This in itself is not that bad, the problem occurs when you have a smart phone that receives E-Mail, Twitter, Messenger Service, all of these results in international data charges. The recommendation from Verizon was to turn it off after entering Canada, to avoid a very expense phone bill.

Just thought you would like to know.

Thanks

John Wieckowski
President TCF



I would also like to concur with the President. The Sprint network is a little more friendly, in that phone calls are only .59 cents a minute, but once again, Data is on the international plan which can get expensive in a hurry. The representative also mentioned that any email or messages or surfing are charged by the mega byte, so be careful fisherman.

Turn those Dam phones off and have fun!!!
