Tell us about your day at the shop.
 
She must still be in the shop since you not talkign about it yet.
 
She was I thought to be at the shop Monday.
 
Was uneventful. First I spent an hour at the eye doctor, then 2 1/2 hours at the Cingular store (don't ask). By the time I got to the shop, I was aggravated and starving. Hung around a bit, talked colors (of course) and carpeting, looked at the car some, talked to the guy that did the engine work, left and went to eat!

OK, I'll ask;

What the heck is a Cingular store?

Actually, I've had Cingular before it was Cingular and was Southwestern. For better than 10 years. And I can only rave about my service and the customer service. I've never had anything negative as far as they're concerned.

Why I spent two hours there is simple. I finally decided to get Chuck a cell phone (after being stranded twice for hours on the interstate in the past year) We have 2 plans, ours and Sarah's (which she pays for) So. I changed the plan to the $89 plan (minus Chuck's 15% discount) - it included 2 phones. Then I added another line for Chuck, and one for my mother (at $10 each) Is silly for my nearly 81 year old mother to pay $35 a month just for an emergency phone.

But. We also had to pick out 4 phones. I didn't have much problem, give me the cheapest phone that rings and dials. My mother wanted a flip phone (because she thinks they're cool) and that took a little time. Grabbed a cheap flip for Chuck (easy on, easy off, just lift or close the lid) Sarah, however, took a goodly while. Of course it takes her a goodly while to make ANY decisions. She's paying for the phone and the service so I really didn't care what she got. But all in all, by the time we did everything, activated all the phones and paid for it, was WELL over 2 hours.

Sorry you asked?
 
I still say that the downfall of our society these days can be traced to the breakup of the old Bell System! Remember when the only choice we had was black? And when you called the phone company, they came out and installed the phone/repaired the line/fixed (or usually replaced) the phone and you paid one bill???

But now that AT&T is buying BellSouth, maybe there's hope once again!

Doesn't Cingular own AT&T now?

Mickey, check your pm, please. I have a car question.
 
I doubt it. I may have to go all cellular now. AT&T screwwed me on dialup internet and I refuse to do business with them anymore.

When a dialup internet bill is over $250 for one month (and you have the unlimited time online plan), and nobody at customer service will admit they made a mistake and credit you back the money - they got all the money from me they ever will.

I've run everyone I know away from AT&T and I hope this runs more away.

I'd like to see AT&T go the way of AMC or ROVER! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
 
ATT Wireless and Cingular merged last year...BellSouth is next, if the anti-monopoly people don;t stop it, which they are trying to do now.

You know that the end is near when we discuss cell phone questions on a car forum and seek car advice off-line....
