And the saga continues...
I admit, it's been a while since I've had to bitch about Cingular, but never fear loyal Cingular haters, they have done it again!!
Okay, take two on this...somehow I deleted everything before. Rargh.
Anyway....so today I checked my online statements for Cingular to see how I was doing on anytime minutes since my billing period started on May 4 (Wednesday). I've already used up far too many minutes, rargh, but hopefully it won't come back to bite me in the ass later, but that bill won't be paid until sometime in the middle of June (because that's how Cingular works, whatever), when hopefully I won't be as broke, so if I go over a little bit, hopefully it won't matter too much.
My real bitch about Cingular has to do with my call statement of this month. Remember how I was ranting last month about how my last two (or three?) bills were coming up with a ridiculously low amount of minutes, because none of the phone calls that I made outside of my home area (Milwaukee, Appleton, Oshkosh, the Dells, etc) were registering on my phone bill? Yeah, who could forget! So, in checking my full statement from April 4 to May 3, I notice phone calls starting in March. Yes, March. Uhh...wtf??
So, I scrolled down the really long call list, and realized that Cingular was just now billing me for all of the calls that they didn't register from March!!! Umm...maybe it's just me, but doesn't that seem a bit, uh, wrong?? I mean, what if my anytime minute calls from March AND April had far exceeded 300 minutes?? I'm sure I would have been charged for those calls, and exceeding anytime minutes is something ridiculous like 45 cents a minute. I know I shouldn't complain about something that didn't happen, but it's the principle. Cingular is dumb. Very, very, very dumb. ARGHHH, I can't wait until the end of July!! No more Cingular! I think I'm going to go with Verizon. That way, I'm going to have a ton of people on the in-calling minutes, and I won't have to watch my anytime minutes hardly at all!! Ahh, August can't come fast enough....
Down with Cingular!!
