Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / May 2007Cingular assinged my number to someone else
I got a pre-paid plan which I have not used for 2 months (out of the country). When I came back, I found out that my number was assigned to someone else. Is this legal action? Thanks. >I got a pre-paid plan which I have not used for 2 months (out of the >country). When I came back, I found out that my number was assigned to >someone else. Is this legal action? Thanks. As I understand the prepaid plans, the contract is 'active' as long as you 'reload' or buy more minutes for the account. Most minutes will expire 30 or 45 days after purchase. By failing to 'reload' your prepaid account before the expiration time, you have effectively canceled your contract. He didn't have a contract. He was on prepaid. >>I got a pre-paid plan which I have not used for 2 months (out of the >>country).

He was on prepaid. Correct, but there's still a "contract" with prepaid- not a length-of- time contact, but a set of rules, terms, and conditions; for instance, how long your account stays alive when at a zero balance. You are correct. I stand corrected. >> He didn't have a contract.

So the basic answer to your question is - Yes. What can I do now- buying another SIMM card from Cingular? Does anyone know if there is a pre-paid paid with expiration date of 1 yr or longer? Thanks. >>I got a pre-paid plan which I have not used for 2 months (out of the >>country). When I came back, I found out that my number was assigned to >>someone else. Is this legal action?

Nevermind, I just found out that there is a 1-yr expiration plan from Cinguar website. Thanks. > What can I do now- buying another SIMM card from Cingular?

Get the thousand minute card up front; those minutes expire after 1 year, but as long as you add even a few minutes to the account before then, those original 1000 minutes will continue and expire only at the newer date. >> Nevermind, I just found out that there is a 1-yr expiration plan from >> Cinguar website.

With T-mobile after you spend $100 on minutes (1000 minute, one year card) even a ten minute card will extend it another year plus there's a discount (15% I think) so you'll get more than ten minutes out of it. |
