then one day the vibrator stopped working, then about 2months later (about 3weeks ago from now) i couldn't get SHIT for a signal, kept getting my calls dropped, wouldnt stay in digital mode.

got pissed , took it in, they said i didnt have extended warenttee on it, only insurance. hmmmm (m0m3 didnt get ext war. doh!)

so i
*cough* got my phone stolen out of my truck at night because i left my doors unlocked*cough*

so i went to the police station and filed a claim, blahblah,
paused my service
called insurance place
lady>>> ok blah blah got all your information, currently your phone is no longer in production (-well duh they only make phone models for like 2months-), so i am going to give you a phone thats basically the same thing (feature wise) just a newer version, its a startac 7868 (or something like that i forget exact model #)

me>>> ok that sounds good, just as long as it has all the same features as mine (voice dial etc...)

lady>>>yep, basically the same thing, it will be there in two days.

:::2 days later:::

sign for package, open it up

WTF IS THIS
a refurbished $50 cheap ass PO startacblack flipphone

what the fuck is this bullshit.
its one of those cheap ass startac motorola flipphones, they're fucking peieces, the BEST feature on that phone is a fucking PHONE BOOK, hah,

so i call em up.

lady>>>hi, let me check your info here, ahh ok yes...you see, you agreed to the verbal agreement to accept that phone.

me>>> umm yes, i was under the impression that it was basically the same phone that i had b4, with the SAME features.

lady>>> ummm well, you agreed to the verbal agreement, that means you said you would accept that phone.

me>>>listen, i do NOT have every phone company make/model with its features MEMORIZED. when she said "startac blah blah#", i figured it had all the featuers i had b4, i NEED voice dial, otherwise when im driving down the road and haev to look down to dial my cell phone, i might get in a headon collision and die,, and miss, i do Not want to die.

lady>>> :::pauses:::
...
...
...
lady>>> ummm ok sir let me get my supervisor

:::oh hold:::

supervisor>>> hi, you accepted the verbal agreement?

me>>> :::explained everything again:::

so after some 15minutes of tlaking i finally got thru to him.

and he finally apologies

supervisor>>> well sir im sorry there was a misunderstanding, and sorry that we mislead you there, ill tell you waht im gonna do, im gonna ship out the logic tm510 to you, and it should be there tomroow, its the one i use and has all the features you want.

:::meanwhile im looking on the net to make SURE its a fucking decent phone:::

so
basically the god damn insurance company tries fucking ppl over with their lil socialengineering / trickory by giving ppl cheap ass refurbished motoroal startacs.

hahaha

bitching finally pays off.

So I go to a straight dealer. They replace the phone with a better model, no charge.

I'm wondering what kind of a hit I'm going to take on trying to run a dial up connection over my cell. ( I want to cancel my room's phone. )
