I just heard the tell-tale beep-beep of my cell phone informing me that I had a voice mail message. Which I thought was strange since I hadn’t heard my phone ring. But I picked it and and saw that I did indeed have a message. So, curious, I dialed in only to hear …

“Hello Fido customer, this is your local authorized Telus retailer …” The message continued with a listing of all the great things about Telus and reasons I should switch.

At first I was shocked, but then I just started laughing. Normally, you worry about retailers selling your address or phone number to just any old company, but to sell it to their competitors.. well, that’s just funny.

Either than, or Telus is smart enough to know what phone numbers belong to Fido customers. In which case, maybe I should switch to them …
