Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2006I SAVED money by using my Cingular phone
Usually everyone complains about how expensive their cellphone bill are. I recently saw a posting about an outrageous $8,900 bill. Well I'm posting because I SAVED money. I'm new to Cingular and I sa an article on Gigaom about a new service called Cellfire (currentl only offered to Cingular users). It lets you download coupons on you cellphone. I used it and I saved a bunch of money on a bunch of regula purchases. I guess it's just another perk for being a Cingular user.

I am not making ANY money from this. If you don't believe m why don't you send a message to Om Malik, the owner of Gigaom. I' appreciate if you'd check your facts before you start pointing fingers It's people like you that destroy these forums > Jer Wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > appreciate if you'd check your facts before you start pointing fingers. > It's people like you that destroy these forums. Your discovery? 'skooze me? Let's talk about destruction for a moment shall we? Let's talk about how you come in here posting about some shitbird gobshite coupons AND shilling the website no less, claiming how it's some kinda B.I.G deal that you saved a coupla bucks. Well Hoo Rah! And no, I'm not sending any email to some gigaom bozo, because as far as I'm concerned, you two are both in this together. The forum you claim to be soooo concerned about isn't intended to be used by a bunch of coupon shysters shilling anonymously about something that has zero to do with Cingular. If anybody needs to be checking facts... Oh and by the way Mr. Clueless, the next time you think it's helpful to use tinyurl, do the right thing and also post the real url along with your contracted one. This way, if anyone really buys into your shill, they'll at least have a clue about who they're exposing themselves to before clicking, not after. It's a common courtesy thing intended to avoid shills like yours, some of us know better, and now the rest of us do. Consider this your first lesson for 2006. Take notes Grasshopper. Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' > It's people like you that destroy these forums. People like "jer"? You mean long term fairly knowledgable people who actually contribute to a forum? I think you have it backward, it is more likely people who just drop into a forum with their fake "I just found a great site" posts who litter the place up for the rest of us. Bernard Yes, EXCUSE you jer. First of all, I'm sorry that we are not all as rich as you but to som people, saving a "coupla" of bucks actually means something. Second, It has everything to do with Cingular. It's a service that currently only offered to Cingular users. You won't see anyone else o another service using it. Third: You know what? I am concerned about the forum. Let's review wha happened. I make a post that I believe will help out people usin Cingular. You come on and start FLAMING away, making a blind claim tha I'm not legit, you insult me by calling me a spammer, and if that wer not enough, you called your buddy for back up so that he can flame m too. YOU COULD HAVE posted nicely saying that it was spam-like so I coul have adjusted the post or even nicely requested that I remove it. Bu instead you choose to flame me and leave your "common courtesy" behind I want to make this clear to everyone. *I am not part of any referra service and I am not making any money posting to a personal weblog. * Because jer has been -so courteous - :screwy: I will remove the lin to the blog. I apologize to any of you who may have felt you wer duped. Rest assured that you were NOT taken advantage of. I will leav the rest of the post there because I believe others may still b interested in knowing that this service is available to them. Howeve if I get the general consensus that people do not appreciate my post, will GLADLY remove it. NO FLAMERS REQUIRED. As for jer and your buddy, don't lecture me on common courtesy when yo are the ones calling names and making false accusations the entire time For 2006, you can add "grow up" to your long list of new year' resolutions. To everyone else, happy new year! And I apologize that you all had t witness this atrocity > Yes, EXCUSE you jer. > > First of all, I'm sorry that we are not all as rich as you but to some > people, saving a "coupla" of bucks actually means something. If you think Cingular (or anyone else for that matter) is giving up something with coupons, think again. Put your google finger to work and learn about the business model that supports a coupon program. There ain't no free lunch. > Second, It has everything to do with Cingular. It's a service thats > currently only offered to Cingular users. You won't see anyone else on > another service using it. I made no comment regarding the service, my comments were restricted to your mention of a shill website hidden behind a contracted url. > Third: You know what? I am concerned about the forum.

BF and I aren't confederates - we are both entitled to have a personal opinion, and express that opinion in a public forum such as this - just as you are. As far as insulting spammers or shills, insulting is only where it starts - it ends when we see flames. > YOU COULD HAVE posted nicely saying that it was spam-like so I could > have adjusted the post or even nicely requested that I remove it. But > instead you choose to flame me and leave your "common courtesy" behind. I offer no quarter to spammers and shills, and I don't care whether they like it or not. > I want to make this clear to everyone. *I am not part of any referral > service and I am not making any money posting to a personal weblog. * I want to make this clear to everyone - it's only his tattered opinion, which is worth exactly what we paid for it. > Because jer has been -so courteous - :screwy: I will remove the link > to the blog. I apologize to any of you who may have felt you were [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > if I get the general consensus that people do not appreciate my post, I > will GLADLY remove it. NO FLAMERS REQUIRED. I tell you what... in the future, if you want to avoid looking like a shill, have the courtesy to post a message asking if anyone is interested in information about a service - no urls. If someone responds, you're welcome to post again with more specific information, including a real url and a contracted one if you think it would be helpful. In your original message, you identified your reference as an article, which for most people infers a commercial website - without the real url, we have no way to know. If it's a blog full of adhoc opinions, say so. > As for jer and your buddy, don't lecture me on common courtesy when you > are the ones calling names and making false accusations the entire time. > For 2006, you can add "grow up" to your long list of new year's > resolutions. I don't expect you or anyone else to really know this, but I'm commonly courteous to almost everyone. When it comes to a cold post in a public forum that has rotten shill written all over it, my usually courteous nature gets a vacation. I likened your original post to me waking up early one morning to find a billboard freshly planted on my street, so I figured it deserved a lit match. > To everyone else, happy new year!

Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' Just how is being able to view a coupon on your wireless phone going to save you any money? What is a cashier supposed to do with an image on your phones screen? How does he send it in to the manufacturer for reimbursement? > Usually everyone complains about how expensive their cellphone bills > are. I recently saw a posting about an outrageous $8,900 bill. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > 'Check out the Gigaom article here' (http://tinyurl.com/dsx6k) And - to be fair about what is really going on here - you have got to admit that with the NUMEROUS posts that you have made in other areas on the internet: www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=807020 www.phonescoop.com/forums/forum.php?ff=4 http://forum.mpedia.com/i_saved_money_by_using_my_cingular_phone-vt16354.html http://www.phoneobsessed.com/ftopic32337.php And saying pretty much the same thing (in some cases verbatim) then one has to wonder if you Do have a vested interest in the coupon "deal" or you have so much free time on your hands that you can spend the time to re-enter all of these posts about this topic. Someone pull out your Webster and give us "Shill". Wait - I will do it. (stolen from dictionary.com) shill ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shl) Slang n. One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle. v. shilled, shill·ing, shills v. intr. To act as a shill. v. tr. To act as a shill for (a deceitful enterprise). To lure (a person) into a swindle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- [Perhaps short for shillaber.] cliff Wrote: > And - to be fair about what is really going on here - you have got t > admit [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > you have so much free time on your hands that you can spend the time t > re-enter all of these posts about this topic. Uhhh... mpedia and phoneobsessed are the EXACT SAME THING a cellphoneforums.net. They are EXACT replicas of what is going on here I'm sorry but I don't have time to go and copy EVERYONE'S reply an recreate the entire discussion there. I POSTED TWICE. Howard and Cellphoneforums. The ONE post on Howar which was admittedly similar to this one but only because I check th forum there regularly. You didn't mention my other posts: http://tinyurl.com/9lla6 http://tinyurl.com/d6bra http://tinyurl.com/8pfe5 Check the dates. I AM JUST A REGULAR USER. PLEASE STOP MAKING ME LOO LIKE A CRIMINAL. I'M SORRY FOR TRYING TO HELP EVERYONE SAVE SOME MONEY I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA I think I see why people have been mislead. I visited the other forum mpedia and phoneobsessed (the replicas) and the links show up a http://tinyurl.com/xxxxx. I did NOT post that. I put a direct link t gigaom.com/xxxx but for some reason they don't show up like that. This was the link: "hxxp://gigaom.com/2005/12/26/santa-brought-some-web-20-goodies" Gigaom is a personal blog of a writer for Business 2.0. I did not intentionally try to mask the link at all. For those of yo who don't believe me, try posting the link yourself o cellphoneforums.net and check out one of the replica sites |
