ok so i was talking to my brother today in louisville ky,sunday he has been with att for 10 yrs, his 6 son's and there family with att 5 yrs, all was on there own family plan's, all had text messaging, all had media net,total lines of service 18,i'll let you do the math,(i'm sleepy)anyway, he called and said he and his family had had it with all the problems they where having (like all the rest of the country)non of them on any contract's, said they all meet at a local wireless store (i wont say which one) they all walked in together and ordered all new service's on all 18 lines, the other company gave them, 18 new phone's and 2 accessories to go along with then plus,no activation fee's, plus 100.00 dollor's to each head of that house hold.after my brother told them they all where leaving att,then they all packed up in there car's drove to the att store, they all walked in together and told att to close all there accts. he said "you should have seen the rep's face" anyway i just thought this was to good of a story not to pass along. and wondering if this will be the future of the NEW att.anyway i get thinking,hey my landline is att, so i ordered voip today and will cancell my att landline before my next billing cycle.
If I were a miserable as you are with at&t I would definitely leave. All of us have troubles at times with our providers. You seem to have MORE than most. I always try to see if it might be me when I am having more issues than most others. :nopity:
Congratulations? They wasted gas driving 18 people to the att store to cancel the service when they could have just as easily done it over the phone. And.. why didn't the port the #'s to the new provider, since they were all out of contract?
I have four on my family plan in South Carolina and my sister has three on her plan in Florida and both of us are happy. She just renewed her contract and upgraded her telephones last week. One of her daughters contract is running out with Sprint next month and she is moving her service over to at&t. To say that I have never been cutoff I would be lieing. I have had other providers and have been cutoff at times also. Some people always have more problems than others.
Seems so, I signed up with AT&T about 13 months ago, all of my family has Verizon because for the longest they were the only company here besides ramcell (not an option.) Over the last 13 months my brother + girlfriend and my father + his wife have all changed to AT&T as the reliability in this area is much greater (When Cingular started building out here they built out hardcore instead of just putting down a tower or two to compete with Verizon) none regret their decisions. This is definetly on a case by case basis.
well first off i didn't cancell my wireless,it was my brother and his son's and daughter's, i guess that's what leads me to beleave the last part of your post is more then highly likely true.
well congradulation's to you as well, you are 100% right,it would have been easier to cancel over the phone, and that is probably the way you would have done it, but, sometimes statements are better made in public, in this case i thought it was a great way,as far as why they didn't want to port there # i don't know, i didn't as,they didn't say, and i don't think that you are high enough on the att chain of command to have that need to know basis.look on the bright side, maybe by what my family in louisville did may save you from having to pick up the phone and talk to another customer as you call us.
i agree, in the south i don't think you can 't beat there service, they have always been know to take good care of the south no matter what name they went under.
yes cingular was good about building hardcore,they wanted there customer's to know they where dependable,and serious about give there customer's there money's worth.and great reliablity. i think all the other cell company's was following cingular's lead,and learning as they followered
I'm not sure I follow this statement? Forgive me, I'm from Cali. Curious? Who is the other main provider in Kentucky? Alltel? Bluegrass?
main is sprint,verizon,cingular, alltel,closing in fast, bluegrass is barely here in w.ky, not sure about the eastern half of ky,
hey that was out of line, its posters like you that will prevent any outher cell employees from wanting to sign up and offer helpful advise on their free time.
all went to sprint, except one of my brother's son's and his family, i think they went to verizon, but all are happy now,i talk to him day before yesterday, none of them have had any dropped calls, or calls going to voice mail,or no signal, works like a cell phone company is suppose to.
That is great. Sprint is known to give customers a lot of "freebies" so I am not surprised your family got a good deal with them. I'm also happy to hear things are working out great with Sprint so far!
