Can you link to us?

Q. Tom: Can you link to us? We're an on-line cellular store that can offer you good money for every mobile activated through your site.

A. Aside from linking to Amazon for mobile telephone sales (internal link), I have to decline any such offers. It's too difficult to check the reliability of every company that wants a link over. Also, customers today aren't getting served as well as they should be by many cellular sales web sites. In my area both SureWest Wireless (external link) and MetroPCS (external link) offer better rates than the major carriers yet they're not offered through most secondary sites. This is the same thing with Jet Blue or Southwest airlines, wildly successful services that many like but ones you won't find offered on Travelocity, Expedia, or Orbitz. You usually have to go directly to their sites rather than through a middleman. But thanks for the interest.
