I had a lady call in and explain that her number was ported out without the sales rep advising there was a 24 month service commitment for the phone.She thought she was paying full amount with no commitment.Now she wants a reverse migration. when i was reestablishing a hold expectation,the sales rep was calling security becuase the store was closing.

For me it's the $18 upgrade fee they never hear. I start off with, "An upgrade is a one or two year extension on your contract for a discount off the handset.
