Let's Make a Deal... Which door did I choose?
So, I went with option 3....
In all fairness, I gave Cingular a chance to help me out. I called the main Customer Service number and explained my issue. Their best offer: $60 for a phone that I have never heard of, if I agree to a 2 year commitment...
I wanted to say "Did you fucking hear what I said? I don't want additional commitment." Instead, he offered going on eBay and purchasing a used phone.
I looked into the option before even starting this whole thing and found they usually go for $70 or so. When I went to Verizon, I found that I could buy a phone very similar to mine (big plus) for $70... BRAND NEW... thanks to the fact that APC is a corporate account of Verizon's.
Needless to say, I'm now with Verizon. I have a snazzy new phone. It is a camera phone, but I really don't care about that too much, I just liked the outer display that my old one didn't have.
Oh, and I still have the same number :)
Lastly, my friend Doug from work and I are putting together a trip to Six Flags next Sat...
I know it's short notice, but if anyone's interested, let me know... It'll be a few people from work and maybe some people they know, plus any my LJ fans who are Rollercoaster Fanatics like me... or even those that aren't ;)
