NO HOME PHONE LINE? NO PROBLEM

What Happens If
I Don't Have a
Home Phone Line?

The Problem:

  • More and more people are using their iPhones and Android Smartphones Insteadof their home phone lines.
  • By cancelling your home phone line you can Save $30 to $50 a month ($360 to $600 a year) depending on your service provider.
  • By cancelling your home phone line - You Will Also Be Disrupting Your Home Security System (in most cases an alarm system relies on a home phone line to notify our 24/7 Emergency Operators)
  • You will No Longer Have Peace of Mind and your Insurance Company No Longer Provides a 10% to 25% Discount on your insurance policy.

CONSUMER WARNING: HOW TO DEAL WITH HIGH PRESSURE DOOR TO DOOR SALESPEOPLE (THAT WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER)

Consumer Warning

 

It's that time of year when you will be getting pressured by door to door salespeople. They would like to sign you up to "limited time offer" that expires "right away". And before you know you know it you're on the hook for thousands of dollars. (This happens several thousand times each year).

The Pressure:

 

  • Sales person won't leave even when you tell them to "Leave"
  • Sales person won't leave when you tell them "No Thanks"
  • Sales person won't leave when you say "I Already Have Your Products or Service"
  • Sales person name drops the name of your neighbor and makes it sound like "they signed up" or "they bought one" or "they referred me to you"
  • Sales person comes to the house more than once

 

The Solutions:

 

  1. Put Up Your Hand and "Say NO". Immediately close the door and the sales person will eventually leave.
  2. Tell them "You are Trespassing" and that you will call the BBB Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Branch and the Police if they do not leave.

    BBB   1-888-352-7601
    Consumer Protection   1-877-880-5550 
    Saskatoon Police   (306) 975-8300 

    RCMP (Saskatoon)   (306) 975-5173 or call your Local Detachment
     
  3. Always Get 3 Quotes for whatever you consider purchasing. This gives you the time to gather information and to check if the "deal" being presented to you is the best option.
  4. Never Accept Quick Delivery of a product or service. This gives you a cooling off period and more time to gather facts.
  5. If you did proceed with the offer You Have 10 Days to Change Your Mind and CANCEL (and get a full refund). It's the Law in Saskatchewan.
  6. Don't Forget - You may already be in a contract for the products or services being offered to you.
