Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / September 2005Cingular to Katrina victims: pay up or else
Cingular Wireless is going after no-pays aggressively in the area struck by Hurricane Katrina. If you are not able to pay your bill on time, welcome to bankruptcy. GETTING OUT OF THE CINGULAR CONTRACT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't think you can afford Cingular since your house got washed away? Cingular holds you to that contract you signed without reading all the "fine print". Cingular will take a dump on your credit AND send a debt collection agency after you. That is how heartless and cold and downright un-American Cingular is. http://www.truthtree.com/cingularsucks/index.htm You really are sick, you know that? > Cingular Wireless is going after no-pays aggressively in the area > struck by Hurricane Katrina.

The whole system is automated, so of course people aren't going to be able to pay bills because they aren't even in their homes. And there is no one to even deliver the bills.. So, I guess this can be seen as aggressive to certain fools. >>>Cingular Wireless is going after no-pays aggressively in the area >>>struck by Hurricane Katrina.

That said though, there are few carriers that will IMMEDIATELY shut someone off on a post-paid account for nonpayment the day the bill becomes overdue. Most wait in the neighborhood of 10, 15, even 30 days. The only carrier thight might is Sprint, and only for those on account spending limits that have balances that overrun that limit.

Of course, because everything is automated. What do you think, that they have a rep available for each and every customer? I am most sure that Cingular will come through for those folks, just as other major corporations will. >Cingular will take a dump on your credit AND send a debt collection >agency after you. I once couldn't pay for four months straight. I called them, told them my situation and they let me fly for four months, which was awfully damn nice of them. >That is how heartless and cold and downright un-American Cingular is. Uh huh. >http://www.truthtree.com/cingularsucks/index.htm As for the subject of this posting, where is the proof? Guess what? Contractual obligations are not limited to just those in the hurricane area. If you want heartless and cold and downright un-American, look up "petroleum company" in your Funk & Wagnalls. "Ooh, our 7-10 day on-hand supply is going to run out next week - let's raise our prices TODAY." > Cingular Wireless is going after no-pays aggressively in the area > struck by Hurricane Katrina.

That's how a free market works. SignatureBest regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular> OK, that makes it acceptable then, because "that's how it works." I"m having trouble with the 'encourage production' part. Billions of $$ in profits, but are they building refineries?

Billions of $$ in > profits, but are they building refineries? Nooooo. Okay, then let's offer them a little encouragement to help them get started with fixing that refinery shortage. I propose a new refinery be built on top of your home - of course, don't have a problem with that, right? Oops! you do? No problem. I'll encourage the government to use eminent domain to seize your land after paying a below market price for it. The taxes from that refinery will more than offset their loss of the chump change taxes you've been paying. It's a win-win-win deal. Mr. Gas Producer gets a new refinery, Mr. Town gets 100x more taxes for the property, and you get a new place to live with a permanent roof over your head - under a bridge. Glad I could help. Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' I see, the only place available is on top of my home. That's OK, anything to help. You may all thank me in advance for $2/gal gasoline. And I give you all a hearty "your welcome", also in advance. Mr. Town is close to losing a large Amtrak repair facility, so this works out really, really well. > > OK, that makes it acceptable then, because "that's how it works."

Dunno, that's not for me to decide, it's not my refinery. > That's OK, anything > to help. You may all thank me in advance for $2/gal gasoline. And I give > you all a hearty "your welcome", also in advance. Mr. Town is close to > losing a large Amtrak repair facility, so this works out really, really > well. I don't want your cheap-a.s $2/gal gasoline - I want your bone-crushing $4/gal gasoline. I want the true price of that crap to be felt in everybody's pocketbook. That way, everybody has a stake in it's use. Amtrak? are they still in business? Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' It's "acceptable" (actually good) because it works, and because the alternatives (e.g., price controls) don't work. In fact higher prices do encourage production because they make it feasible to extract more difficult reserves that are uneconomical at lower prices. As for limited refinery capacity, that's largely a function of land use ("NIMBY") and environmental issues. This is getting way off topic -- let's get back to Cingular cellular. >OK, that makes it acceptable then, because "that's how it works." I"m >having trouble with the 'encourage production' part.
