I Hate Cingular!
« on: December 14, 2005, 06:35:00 PM »
Long story short i hate Cingular. I am protesting them. I am making a group called People Against Cingular. The email adress is [email protected]. Please email Cingular or something and tell them you are joining or hate them or whatever.

Any ideas of how to piss off cingular? I put flyers up outside of their store, but need more ideas. Preferably legal ones.

Edit: Almosr forgot, anyone got a slogan?

Yeah well.... My phone broke and they sent me a new one (i have insurance). So they send a different one and it gets NO RECEPTION! So i tell them i want a different phone and they say that im lying and my new phone gets great reception. Yea right jackass, i think i know what reception my phone gets. So im stuck with no service and a $200 a month phone bill.

At least you had insurance.  I was signed up for it and was paying insurance for awhile, and when I put in a claim for a new phone (phone+water=bad) they said I was never signed up for it.

ive always been a verizon guy myself, but i have 2 friends with cingular, here are their stories

friend number 1 used to have cingular, he hated it, but didnt want to buy out of his contract, when he broke up with his gf he got his number changed, and left instructions on his account to give the number to anyone, well, they gave it to his ex, so changed it again, they gave it to his ex, figuring 3 is the charm he changes it again....nope, so he finally buys out of his contract...now comes the funniest part....he switched to at&t


friend number 2 got some crappy phone that was practically free with his contract, he paid like 75 dolalrs for insurance on it, then he dropped it and th eantenna broke, so he goes back to get a new one, they say they have to charge him 60 dollars for the repair, he tells them he has insurance, but they still insist on charging him the money (i guess they consider the cheap belt clip breaking and the phone dropping to be abuse) so he ends up payoing a total of 135 dollars (ins+fee) to replace his 100 dollar phone

The FCC?  They have nothing to do with it.  You want to talk to the Better Business Bereau.

Also, why not go into the STORE and show them the problem with your phone?

The people in the store have no power over it. They just tell you to call, they just sell the phones. The replacments are done through the mail. Same reason i cant just go into the store and get a new one when mine broke the first time.

As for the FCC, here is their complaint site. FCC It seems to apply, maybe im wrong.
