Cell phones toll for bad dates [Associated Press] Bad dates -- they killed the monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but they don't have to kill your weekend. Cingular Wireless and Virgin Mobile both offer services where you can arrange to be called during your outing. You pick the time of the call -- kinda like a wakeup call, only it's more of a "wake up and smell the loser" call. A recorded voice offers you a good escape line -- a popular one now is to pretend that your absent-minded roommate got locked out of the apartment (not again!). You can then bail or ignore the call if the date's going well. Cingular's Escape-A-Date costs $4.99 per month, and Virgin Mobile's Rescue Ring service is a quarter per call. Ability to lose a loser without losing all your dignity? Priceless.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
