It's a hot yet beautiful summer day outside, and Bob is driving down the street with nowhere to go and nothing better to do. What better time to call Cingular to have his text messaging fixed...


Fifteen minutes into the conversation...

Bob: No, I'm on it right now! Can't you just press a button and fix it while I'm on the phone?

Rep: Sir, I'm trying to explain, we need to check the settings in the phone. This type of issue is usually caused by an incorrect message center number programmed into the phone. If I could have you check that numbe--

Bob: I don't have time for this technical mumbo-jumbo. Do you know how many important messages I'm missing?

Sorry i hope i didn't blow it...but I know a rep who accually had a guy who's son downloaded the whole lord of the rings trilogy illegaly from his handset at .03/kb...Can you say $60,000 bill? Do you know how high you have to go in the company before you can even talk to someone about credit? I'm not sure if the CEO is authorized for that amount 😁. Besides its and illegal download so if they take it to court they get charged for piracy...Probably cost them the same amount in fines plus they lose the case 😛

I couldn't stop laughing for about five minutes from reading the first couple of lines. This is gold to anyone who works at a cell company call center, no matter who it is. (For instance, I'm VZW.)
