I'm a cingular rep; or cingy as i've heard. Why is it that we love to argue with each other so much. You want facts here they are cell phone service is not an exact science; it's freking radio signal some place you can pick i up some places you can. Things such as buildings landscape and even the weather affects it at times. So let us all "chill" and talk about soemthing we all have in common some funny as customer stories

Good call. I'll second that.

A friend of mine tells a story about a customer calling in stating that her phone was broken and she just got it. Turns out, she was concerned that there was no dial tone... 🤣 I mean really... Has this customer b...

I completely agree. I will go into the Cingular forum because... well, they pay my bills and write my checks rite now... but oy, the hate is thick there. Real thick and bloody hell if you have an opinion... or facts for that matter... like I'm still trying to get them explain to me how if they added 1.7 mil customer and when the merger happened they had 46 mil customers, how they now have 49.1 mil customers... or a net add of 3.1 mil customers... it seems like they make up their numbers cuz they never give any sources...

Ack, I hate those! They don't know their own mobile number, the SSN of the account holder, the account number, nothing, but they expect us to magically pull it out of our butts on demand.

Here is a good one, actually had this one today, Customer bought there phone in October nearly 5 months ago. Wanted too return there phone and cancel there service, Hello!!!! do people really not realize they are signing a contract, I mean I know some people don't read them when they sign but come on and as far as returning the phone, I've never heard of a return policy on anything anywhere that would let you return something 5 months later... Here's to another Irate customer. 😉
