Some reps are well informed, while others are not. I currently have a Blackjack, and after 3 days of asking which is the proper plan I just decided to screw it and went with the $40/month plan. Some users have gotten away with the $20/month smartphone plan, and other users have not. It all depends on who you get on the phone. I figure it is a standard corporate thing for a company to issue overage charges, and refund them to those that complain, but let those that do not continue to pay them willingly. I can attest to the fact that communication within a phone company does not exist (used
to work for BellSouth). Mike, from my personal experiences with Cingular, anytime I got overage charges from data, I refuted them and was credited back. All that is required is to threaten to switch usually. You do NOT have to sign a contract. Contracts are used to offer a discount on a phone, that you are not purchasing from them. All you would have to do is get a sim card from the carrier and have it activated with the voice/data plan you desire. All of this is from my 5 year experience with Cingular. I hope this will help.<br><br>-Eric<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Jonathon Suggs <jsuggs@murmp.com><br>To: Robert Michel <openmoko@robertmichel.de><br>Cc: Mike <fromlists@talkingspider.com>; community@lists.openmoko.org<br>Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 8:18:36 AM<br>Subject: Re: I know why I dislike anonymous
