I hate em all. My former wife took out a two year contract with Cingular, then left the country, leaving me 18 months to pay on it. I didn't have a leg to stand on as far as getting out of the contract, so I mailed them a check every month. I even went so far as to try to change the plan (way to many minutes for me), but they wouldn't hear of it. When the last payment was due, I went to their office, and said I was making the final payment, and that I wanted paperwork from them stating I was finished with the obligation. While the lady was getting my file, I wrote out the last check, and placed it on the counter. She turned around, looked at the check and said "We don't take checks". I told her I had been mailing a check every month for a year and a half. She said mailing them was fine, but they didn't take them there at the office. I happened to have enough cash with me to make the payment, so swallowed my pride, and counted out the money. After she had given me my paperwork, I asked her if she wanted the phone back. She stated that it was mine, and could use it to sign up for another plan at an even cheaper rate. I told her it was broken and wouldn't work, so that was out. When she asked to examine it, I slammed it down on the tile floor as hard as I could. Well, let me tell you it was broken then! I told her they should provide better equipment for their customers, and walked out the door. Stupid? Probably, but worth the loss in the good feeling it gave me.
