That's the thing Bash. I miss having T-Mobile. I never and I mean never had any trouble with them that didn't get resolved in a single phone call to their 800#. The people in the retail store were a whole different matter.

I hear you, but my point was this: I shouldn't have to make the call in the first place. I don't want problems, I want phone service.

In a manner of speaking, we have only ourselves to blame, because somewhere along the line, we quit demanding/expecting to be treated like valued customers, and accepted a new role, as supplicants. WTF?

Dude! We can talk for freeeeeeee!!!

Sorry T-Mobile sucks Blazing. It's that damned Catherine Zeta-Jones and her damned... Witch powers, and... Boobs. And her gorgeous skin! RAWR!

I have had Cingular since 2000 and the only problem I ever have is when they are linking more towers to the network and sometimes your messages will send multiple times. In my area we have Cingular, Verizon, Sprint and Tmobile as the main carriers.

I hate how Verizon doesn't use a SIM card. If you damage your phone mechanically you lose all your info. I can drop mine in the toilet and still retrieve the info off of my SIM card. Also, the other companies seem to have a lot of random fees - like charging $20 for you to change your primary phone to something other than what you got on that contract. Lamesauce! Cingular was also the only provider that got reception in my old apartment or in my ex's apartment.

Just depends on the region.

I'm on Cingular/AT&T and I love it. I've called customer service tons of times and I have only had one bad experience, which was resolved by going into the actual store and talking to someone. I broke 4 phones in one year and they just kept sending me new ones for free because it was under warrenty... great company! haha

Ok, clear about the no access part I take back what I said.. but I don't see how asking your brother if he has paid would raise an argument? You were curious, you needed to know and were expecting an important phone call? He doesn't recognize the #? Leave a voicemail

I love T mobile. I have never had a problem with them. Every time I have called and dealt with an issue it was the most painless thing ever!

He has stuff going on in his life and this was all going on right around his birthday. Being that I was running on the assumption that it was unpaid, I knew it was not going to be a smooth conversation. I finally decided I didnt care last night and thats when I found all this out.


Its all straightened out now.Bro called and confirmed that the account was in good standing and they told him to take the phone to a store.

That forced him to give me the password ( Im sure he will change it again but I know it for now). The guy at the store, unlike others in the past, was super nice. He literally spent about an hour trying to fix it. In the end, he replaced my sim chip ( thats the second one in a month that Ive had). And it was all fixed.


Then he told me to call customer service to get a credit for the time it was disconnected. An hour later, I was finally transfered to a supervisor. He ended up crediting me half the amount of the bill for the next one thats due. So all is well, I just need to use up the minuets on the pre paid, or sell it to someone, or something.

I've never used a pre-paid so I don't know the technical parts of it, but you could use it as a backup phone.. maybe keep it in your car in case of an emergency when you just happen to not have your other phone

You could post the pre-paid #, and we could all give you a ringy dingy.
