[ale] OT - cell phones

[Adrin]

I keep telling myself I hate these things.

I had an Air touch phone years ago.  I didn't care a lot for them. I just the feeling they
could careless about me as a customer.

I have had Cingular for a few years now.  I don't travel and don't talk that much. So I
have a basic plan, and if you call and leave a message, well I may call you back when I
get around to the messages. I used to work the midnight shift so the nights and weekends
at the time was a steal for me.  Cingular has been a very good customer focused company
for me. So like you I am pro-Cingular.  I am sure Clark Howard could send you off to a web
page, sorry I can't.  But  did you see Sundays paper?? Cingular has gotten some new
phones, finally some phones with other functions. Wooohoooo.  The Sony Ericsson T616 even
does JAVA.  If only I was rich.
