I'm in a store, and early this morning I get a call from a customer in the Bahamas. She had called in to customer service and had the data connect feature added to her account, and the rep told her all she would need is the tutorial to set it up.

I suggested she call my store back in 30 minutes to give me time to research the account and see just whats going on, so she'd save on the undoubtedly high bill that the satellite call is going to cost her.

Lol, one of those that ask you to run their credit for them every time they come in, which is consequentially every other day. Then wander around your store for a half hour stinking the place up. Yeah I love those.

I dont exactly understand what you mean here... what do you mean by "satellite call"? And does she have an aircard? Or is she tethering her phone to the laptop?

Sounds like you might not have the correct information here.
