Everyone has to be in touch with each other in this fast pace world. So like everyone else, I got a Cell Phone. I had a phone with Cingular, but thought I could get a better deal. Boy Was I Wrong!! I got a pre-pay cell and got it activated. It never really worked right, and charged me for roaming, in my home area. So, I got a better phone, more minutes, and then tried to transfer my old number to my new phone. You would think it was rocket science. Long story short, it took three weeks, and a threat to a supervisor to drop all business with the company, to get my phone in working order. By the way, they wound up having to change my number anyway, so I wound up waiting 3 weeks, for something they fixed in 3 minutes. My advice to all who read, GO WITH A NATIONAL CARRIER, Screw Tracfone.
