SORRY SELECTION
I was very pleased with your article on the Glatt Phone.
Unfortunately, two weeks ago, I ordered Bezek's new Selector
which allows me to block calls but I must tell them which
ones to block.
I ordered it to block calls to cell phones, because our phone
bill has become prohibitive. Unfortunately, after we
installed this `bargain,' it not only failed to work
properly, but it does not block undersireable numbers unless
I happen to know them. I don't, but unfortunately, my
teenager does.
When it didn't work, we decided to stop all outgoing calls,
we discovered Bezek's deceptive deal. If you buy their
Selector, you have unwittingly committed yourself not to
disconnect service for a minimum of nine months! This
apparently was in the fine print on the form I signed from
the post office's registered delivery slip which I didn't
read.
When I wanted to return the instrument, I was told that it
could only be done within one week and since I live in a
small yishuv, the whole process had taken more than that to
install.
So, be forewarned, and learn to read the fine print in
Hebrew!
