fuck you cingular

[rated_pg18]

I hate cellphone companies. No offense if you're reading this and you work for one. I'm with Cingular, previously AT&T Wireless. I, on my limited personal budget, have the $39.99/mo plan but my actual cellphone bill comes around to about $62 and change a month.  I looked at the bill, and all the "extra services": state regulatory fees and plan A

hmm i dunno, rarely do i ever get a dropped call with cingular, maybe it depends on where you live tho

[rated_pg18]

zak oh hunny bunny how i've missed ya!!!

[zaks_art]

you should get on aim more

[rated_pg18]

yeah baby, it's like my trademark!well, it's actually partly-see through LJ icons, but I use chopped corners to show that. :)

I had AT&T Wireless before the merge, and I hated it. The service was okay for the most part, but the customer service was a bitch and a half. Wait times were beyond ridiculous...why should I wait for 35 minutes to ask a simple question about my service with someone that's more eager to keep their call times low than to actually help me?

If I were you, I'd leave Cingular/AT&T Wireless, I heard that they both are awful when it comes to customer service. Switch to T-Mobile, it's a better cell phone company. ;)

i was mentioning that earlier this evening! :) i wonder if they still have that deal where tmobile pays for your termination charges if you go with them. besides, my cellphone has been discontinued for cingular; only tmobile supports the motorola v600 now.

thanks kat :p

Do it! :P

And wait times are fabulous, if you ever have to talk to someone. ^_^

First of all, Motorola's suck. When I had to process equipment returns and such, Moto's were by far the most returned.

Second of all, in order for a dropped call credit to process, you have to redial the number within a few minutes of the first call being disconnected for it to automatically credit.

Third, they're probably not billing you twice, if you look carefully at the statements you'll most likely find that one is for a billing cycle that ended previously and the other is for a different one.

Did you migrate from an AT&T plan to a new Cingular plan (do you now have rollover)?

What cell phone brands are better than Motorola? I have one, but I'm a sucker for better technology.

Nokia is rated to have the easiest to use GUI, plus their phones don't have moving parts so they don't break.

Reception-wise, I've always been partial to an Ericsson.

*gasp* Motos do not suck! And I'm glad you commented, seeing as you previously were a model employee at AT&T.

If you look at my bill, items 40-50 are all calls to the same number, each either one or two minutes in length, but the calls are made minute to minute. The example below illustrates:

[123-4567] 1 MIN 12:00am

[123-4567] 1 MIN - INCLUDED MINUTES - 12:01am

[123-4567] 1 MIN- INCLUDED MINUTES - 12:02am

[123-4567] 2 MIN - INCLUDED MINUTES - 12:03am

[123-4567] 1 MIN - DROPPED CALL CREDIT - 12:05am

[123-4567] 1 MIN - INCLUDED MINUTES - 12:06am

[123-4567] 1 MIN - INCLUDED MINUTES - 12:07am
Yes they are billing me twice. For the cycle of January 11-February 11, I automatically paid $60 to AT&T (I have the $39.99 plan, no extra frills). I migrated from AT&T to Cingular on January 3. Now, a few days later I got a bill from Cingular billing me for $174, with the cycle ending February 11. The thing is, when I switched to Cingular, I signed up for the $69.99 plan (2 lines @ $9.99, $10 in service fees, and $10 in taxes), so it should only

Funny you make this post because last night I was talking about going with Cingular. I'm having second thoughts now, heh.

Re: hey :)

*faints* omg, you're like one of my graphic design idols.

If I were you I'd look at T-Mobile. Go read my comment to macmanchad (link) if you want the whole story: basically they sheisted us and double billed us a lot.

Re: hey :)

[electricpussy]

That's yeah because I don't consider myself all that great compared to soo many others. Thank you though, that's really awesome of you to say that. Which ones have you seen of mine?

Hrmm, I'll have to check out T-Mobile then, thanks.

Re: hey :)

[rated_pg18]

i fell in love with your talent when i saw what you did with danni4287's page.

i'm switching over to t-mobile after my contract ends. actually i'm considering paying the early termination fee so i can join sooner.
