    I hear you.

    I hear you loud and clear. I am not your opponet. I leave everyone with the following thought.

    No matter what colors you fly in a good company or a absolute ####ty company I choose to say thank god no one got chopped up or killed.

    With that said, there is a sort of Dr Hyde and Dr Jekyll (Spelling?) that understands where the original sentiment comes into play. Maybe some good will come of this whole thing.

    Tonight has been different weather wise. The sky wants to thunder roar and storm. But it literally like a stripper on a pole. All Tease and no substance. You would put good money against a pending storm too.

    Nothing. Im standing outside going WTF? Everything in the air says ... actually screams big rain coming. But zip nada, nothing, forgetaboutit.

    I bought a pair of pantech flip phones in the searcy ATT store roughly 15 years ago for 650.00 plus 10% tax and activation fees and contracted for two years at about 60 a month for each one. (Two different numbers in those days.)

    One of those is spare parts the other is still going to this day.

    We found a identical flip phone in a independant phone selling shop. It would cost 380.00 to purchase. And its identical in every way to the original flip phone which at that time period was cutting edge.

    Before the magical world of flip camera phones (A cat picture taken and emailed to the home internet email cost 5.00 from phone to internet email. 5.00 each photo in those days. Today we just remove the microSD Memory card and transfer with USB cabling. Video and photos all the day long. Before the flip we had a sprint dual and triband.

    Driving with that thing into the Seattle area required us to pull the battery from that stupid cell phone because the first thing it will do is latch onto a Canadian Cell Tower. Instantly bill us via mail in paperwork about 2000.00 for that month for one time connecting to a roaming international cell tower which is not authroized in our contracted USA only service

    Call Sprint. Explain that we are truckers. The roaming should never happen. Erase it please.

    Sprint says its our fault, our contract explictly says no roaming, no international and nothing. Period. End of story. end. dot. Therefore we are responsible for the 2000.00 bill. Pay us today.

    What part of close account do you not understand?

    **Sprint digs in and starts yelling off script in emotions.**

    everything turned over to the States Atty Generals Office for Customer Protections. Carefully documented with logbooks and other pertaining evidence etc.

    9 months later Sprint prostrates themselves before our home and says here are two checks for all your trouble with this episode.

    Have a nice day.

    Oh by the way we hae the new G3 high speed services on smart phones would you be interested?

    OUT.
