On unexpected surprises

I logged in to Cingular.com today to pay my wireless bill.

It was a few months overdue. Whoops.

Once I got that paid, I decided to swing on over to the “Upgrade Phone” page and see what kind of cool new phone I could nab on the cheap, since I am under contract with Cingular for two years. See, when I got the phone I’m currently carrying, I got it for like $20, because I signed a two year contract and switched from AT&T Wireless to Cingular.

It helps to have a little backstory on that: I switched in the midst of the AT&T Wireless/Cingular merger, and they were having a hell of a time getting people moved over. The employees of the AT&T Wireless kiosks didn’t know how to work the Cingular system, and they completely screwed up my migration. It took Cingular over a week to get it fixed.

Which brings me back to the Upgrade Phone page. It shows you how long you have until your current contract expires.

Mine is rather more exciting than that. It simply states “No Contract”.

Wow. They messed up that migration BAD.

Now I’m at T-Mobile.com.
