(start shaking your fist here, people)curse you cingular, trying to steal my money!!!

a couple of weeks ago i added danielle to my cell phone account, right? she had had a pay as you go plan with t-mobile, and when we brought her to the dark side that is cingular we tried to get her phone number to come with her. that ended up being a no-go, so we got her a spanky new cell phone number. but on my bill this month they charged me for both her t-mobile number that she didn't even use, AND the new cingular number.

okay, that was fixed, i don't have to pay for the t-mobile number.

but also, on a scale of one to ten this gets eleven for weirdness... over half of her text messages showed up as international ones, which are twenty cents a pop. okay, maybe danielle possibly knows one person overseas? i don't know. but i know for sure that she doesn't know like 30 different people overseas. and my own phone number sure as hell ain't overseas, so they had to fix that extra $12 charge, too. what a bunch of chumps!

it was just another example of how much cell phone companies hate change. cuz every time you change something, they fuck everything up. it's all smoothed out now, supposedly, but damn. what a mess!
