Cingular Being Shady - Tuesday, September 21, 2004
Turns out that Cingular ad was very deceptive. It showed a picture of 2 phones and said in big bold words "Free LG1300 & Samsung X427." We took that to mean that we would get those two phones (and thus two lines) in the deal. But at the Cingular store, the sales rep told us that it really meant that we'd get ONE line, and we could pick any ONE phone (of which the LG1300 and the Samsung X427 would be free). I say that's just false advertising.
Cursed Cingular. I'm on the verge of adding them to my mental list of bad companies next to Alta Vista (for installing a toolbar on my computer without my consent, and totally screwing up my operating system) and LA Times (for not delivering any papers and repeatedly sending me bills for what was supposed to be a free trial). Well, Cingular didn't do too much harm, aside from some wasted minutes.
