A lot of people go to a Shrink because when they get their cellular phone Bill each month, it drives them CRAZY.
So while watching a little boob tube last night, seeing an ad by T-Mobile® promoting it’s very own Shrink, named Bill, was pretty catchy and the domain said it all. BillShrink.com . So nice of T-Mobile to offer a shrink to it’s customers to deal with all the craziness that occurs when the Bill arrives.
OK, just having a little fun with the above, but T-Mobile did run it’s ad using the domain BillShrink.com which happens to be a 3rd party independent service provider that "Saves You Money, One Bill at a Time".
One odd thing is.. BillShrink.com really doesn’t "feature" anything T-Mobile… I had to search around to even find a T-Mobile link (at the bottom of the site). Once I did, I clicked on the T-Mobile link to see what was so great about BillShrink.com and why T-Mobile would be promoting it in it’s TV Ads and Google Adwords.
Nice, worst signal service provider in my area! Just what I want… I would hope they could shrink my bill, because my phone would not work very well if I used T-Mobile….
I still don’t get why T-Mobile would promote BillShrink.com. Again, it doesn’t "Feature" anything T-Mobile, it doesn’t "Only" talk about cell phone providers as it offers Bill Shrinking advice on Credit Cards, Gas Prices and Cell Phone Plans.
Other Cell Phone services, phones and plans are offered on the site as well and in my case… I would be checking out Sprint® and not T-Mobile.
Just not understanding this advertisment…

If you go through the whole process that finds you the lowest bill from all the carriers, tmobile always comes out on top. I tried it 3 different times with different usage and areas, every time tmobile came out the cheapest and on top.
Plus on top of that it shows 3 plans for tmobile and only 1 plan for at&t and verizon each. This was the only thing i could come up with, basically a ploy to get people to switch to tmobile ect through a third party service. Which in reality might not even be third party at all.

@Ross,
Interesting… I am still thinking a “better” advertisement could of been used. Without going through the “whole process” as you explained on BillShrink.com, I would not be thinking this is a wise move on T-Mobiles part.

I agree with you on that 100%. Though it is smart on their part if the whole thing is rigged. People are always looking for cheaper alternatives here and there. “Why not save an extra $10 on you cell phone bill?” is the thought.
I did do some more searches and found that sprint came out on top occasionally but most of the time the results were littered with T-Mobile plans.
