I have a $100 limit on my account. It goes over that, service gets shut off. How they can justify charging $26k for anything on a single line personal phone is beyond me. s**t service like most phone companies
If I sign a contract with someone saying I consent to letting them kill me, it doesn't magically make murder legal. Contracts are null and void when the terms of those contracts violate the law.
cingular is the worst company ever, tmobile would exchange a MDA for a Dashbut cingular won't exchange my 8125 for a blackjack (the 8125 actually retails for MORE than the blackjack), then you wait on hold for 30 minutes each time, the team manager lied to me and told me to call another division....
Cingular - otherwise known as AT&T - i have had these assh**es for years - what do you expect from a virtual monopoly - they have never done s**t for me - this does not surprise me at all - this person should let AT&T take em to court and get somw real publicity - i mean these morons spend so much trying to improve their image and a good trial would help destroy that - just my opinion
@chinaman> At 5 bucks a minute (which is about as expensive as it'll get), it'll take you 6 hours to make a $1800 phone call. Alternatively, since most phone companies round up on the minute (a 1:22 call counts as 2 minutes). You could make 360, less than 1 minute calls. However, in reference to time, it could possibly take longer than 1 minute to make each call, thus making it longer than talking for 6 hours to achieve this. At 12 bucks a minute though, it'll take you 2h30m to do it. The most likely, but man...With GSM you can make up to 5 simultaneous outobund calls and conference them plus a sixth on hold.> 175 MB thru a phone is impressive. Ever taken the time to load a page on a phone?Not with 3G. Even if the customer is not a 3G device user, their SIM can be placed in a 3G device. Averaging 700kbit/sec, you can do that in less than 40 minutes.> Texting? At $0.10 per text, that's 18,000 texts sent out. 12,000 texts if it's $0.15 each. That's not including the first 100, 250, or 1000 if you have a plan.18,000 is spam to every number in 1.8 telephone exchanges. That's a very small portion of an area code.
The US Congress passed a law that established a set of uniform laws to govern how bankruptcy was handled. These laws were placed under a system called the bankruptcy code. In this code there are chapters that pertain to various issues in bankruptcy. One such chapter deals with allowing the debtor to start a new life whilst they pay off their future debts. This bankruptcy chapter 13 is one of the popular bankruptcy laws.In bankruptcy you generally need to find some way of living while at the same time you pay your creditors what you owe to them. This sounds a civilized way of dealing with this mater but the truth is otherwise.More information and articles about bankruptcy:<a class="user" href="http://www.whatineed.us/bankruptcy/">http://www.whatineed.us/bankruptcy/</a>

you can set up a maximum for making and taking phone calls all you want. it's called pre-pay service.
