I have no idea when this image was taken. It's within the last six months because I'm blonde.. . I just found it on my one phone that I got about a year ago. I was cleaning it out so I could give it to a friend. I only used it for a few hours, once. Apparently I was in a mood in that pic. It suits the mood I'm in now I guess.
Cellphone companies suck. At least it's over. I did the best I could.
I've spent hours over several days getting this done. It's still not done to my satisfaction.
I had two mobile numbers. Back in December I cancelled the second one, why pay for two, right?
"You're contract isn't over yet, are you sure you don't want to keep it? It'll be $200 if you cancel."
**does math in head** "Yes, it'll be $350 if I keep it, just close it."
"If you find someone to take over your contract in 60 days you won't have to pay the fee Sir!"
"Cool. OK, Thanks."
I have spent so much time on the phone with these assholes. At least 3/4 of a day in total. I called to transfer posession of my number/contract. They let it into a pool of unused numbers. I can't transfer it. They will assign me a new number. Fine.
Am I wrong in assuming they would give me another local number? They gave me one that was over 50 miles away! (Good thing I checked) Not EVERYONE uses or has a cell. Long distance charges ARE AN ISSUE. Idiots. There are people on limited incomes that can't afford a long distance call. I made sure my numbers were local for that very reason.
I ended up with another number what will suffice, but during all of this they sent my friend a new phone that she had to refuse delivery on. Kept me on the phone for hours, still locked HER into a new contract, on top of mine, (w/ no new phone) gave me the run around... I am not happy. I've also bought two slightly pricey phones from them outright. Paid for. No effect on a contract. I couldn't even get some sort of rebate. That sucks.
I did get to talk to a nice gay man in customer service though. That was the only good part. He was very helpful. How do I know he was gay? I just knew, ok. I didn't flirt with him until the call was almost completely over. I could tell he was flattered, the silly giggle also confirmied it. Yup, he likes guys. I wish him well.
Gee. I just talked to my friend. There's a rat in her house. Lovely, just lovely.
Oh, look. Mercury is in retrograde (for you astrology buffs), no wonder there's problems.
