Cingular - ATT
Phone Bill Reached 1100 Dollars After Calls Failed to Disconnect

Shops, Products, Services

I have a very old phone, no text or anything fancy, I have been placing short calls to my patients as I am a nurse, before I arrive to their homes. My phone was not hanging up when I would click it down, it continued to run and run, my bill has been 40.00 a month for the last 4 years, but then if you are 1 day late they shut you off to charge another 40.00 which comes to 80.00!! Then my phone continuously drops calls continuously! But my daughters cricket phone has perfect reception! I called Cingular to report the constant drop in calls but they would not let me out of that horrible contract! Finally last month I got out of it, and due to my phone not properly disconnecting after hanging up to my biggest shock my bill was 1100 dollars, yes American dollars!

I can not believe a cell phone could cost that much a month! That is just absurd! I refuse to pay it, even if it ruins my perfect credit! I just refuse! Since then I got a phone with that new company cricket, I have unlimited minutes! Yes unlimited and messages, the works, and my bill will never be over 45.00 a month, 45.00 a month unlimited, and it has way better reception than Cingular/Att! In the meantime Cingular is still haunting me and many others! How dare some company charge for minutes! If my cable bill was charged minutes it would be a fortune! Shame on these minute chargers!
