I have a cell ph through att wireless, i pay 130 a month for me, elizabeth, and my boyfriend joseph to have 1400 anytime minutes, 20 a list #'s (can call for free anytime) and unlimited texting. I am not staying at my apartment right now for a couple of different reasons, one being a child that i babysit is very ill, and the doctors do not know what is wrong with him yet. I am staying with the child and his parents to help assist with the other children in the household and so forth. Being here i need my cell ph to work, because if i am babysitting and the child has an episode i need to b able to call the parents and tell them to come home. Yes i can call 911 but that doesnt do a whole lot of good when i cant give the consent to treat the child. So i called att told them my phone doesnt work they said it was the sim card, went to the local store got a new sim card, went back to the house still didnt work called customer care they said the sim card i was given is bad. (Now realize every time i put a new sim card in my ph it resets my settings my ringtones, pictures, fonts, etc.) They told me i would have to drive to Rib Mountain, WI to a Corporate store to get a sim card there the store i went to was just a franchise. Rib mountain is about 35 miles away and then 35 miles back; so thats 70 miles at 3.57$ a gallon of gas. You do the math. Got home guess what sim card still didnt work i called and complained again. Then 3 different people 1 from customer care, 1 from a corporate store, and 1 from the franchise store told me to get a microcell i would hook it up to my router and it would give me my own signal.
Let me just also tell you before we came to the conclusion of the micro cell i spend 10 + hours on the ph trying to get my ph fixed 2 people told me the area was bad, spotty service. 3 people told me the network was fine. 1 person told me YOUR EITHER TOO HIGH ABOVE THE TOWER OR TOO LOW BELOW IT. HAHAHAHA 3 people told me they were working on fixing the network in that area. So you can understand my frustation. Back to the microcell they told me to get one but it was $199.00 and the corporate store told me well you can call customer care they give you a coupon to get it for free. So i called. They said that no they cant give it for free that i have to pay my 130$ ph bill and give them another 199$ for this microcell but they would take 100 off and thats a good deal because normally in order to take this 100$ off i would have to purchase some plan thing for another 50$ but they would just give it me.hahahaha So i said screw it and called the office of the president, they sent me a microcell free of charge straight to the house i am staying at. I got it all hook up correctly and registerd. Guess what? Doesnt work, called customer service spoke to an airhead who spend 1 hr trying to fiqure out if my ph was 3g, call was drooped spoke to another guy come to find out my ph is not 3g so therefore is not compatable with this microcell, and no one thought to check this before offering the services to me. HAHAHAHAHA.
Now they decided that what we need to do is get a 3g ph so it is compatible with the microcell, and att is going to cover the cost of this, if i choose from 4 certain phs. I choose one of the certain phs. My boyfriend choose a ph that is not on the list because he works in a factory and doesnt like the fact that all the phs they we slide down qwerty keyboard. he is afraid he will break the ph. And when we orginally signd our contract we picked phs we like and that we could afford. Now we have 4 choices. Well i talked to att they said yes he can get the ph he likes the htc freestyle and the will cover the costs but we have to renew the contract for another two years. Because he choose the htc ph.hahahahaha
done dealing with this im getting a lawyer
