Voice Mail Deposit On My Cingular Wireless Bill...Again!

Cingular Wireless Voice Mail Deposit - 25 Dec 2003 17:56 GMT
Hi,

I can't believe I'm the only one getting Voice Mail Deposit minute
charges on my Cingular Wireless bill! The bill I received yesterday had
them again, despite dozens (literally!!!) of promises from CW that it
wouldn't happen again.

Please, check the charges on your bill. You may have some minutes
charged to Voice Mail Deposit. If so, the charges are fraudulent. Please
contact me about it at cingularwirelessvmd@hotmail.com

Let's stop fraudulent Cingular Wireless charges!!!

I have two Cingular lines, I have several months of bills downloaded, and I
have no charges for Voice Mail Deposit.  Never seen it.  This is in the MA
market.

I'm in Southern California. The people at CW also claim that *they* have
never seen VMD.

Imagine that!!!

I see it every month. I can't believe I'm the only one.

It's because they don't like you.

Ya think?

If I can find a few others they don't like, they're *really* not going
to like me.

C'mon, people, check your bills!

I had this problem with Cingular where they were charging me toll
charges every time I dialed into voice mail (I'm on a Nation plan). I
would call every month, and they would credit the erroneous charges
(between $2-$10). This went on for about 9 months, and finally the
charges stopped.

Your only hope is that one time when you call in, you'll get a smart
person who knows how to fix the problem. Until then, you'll probably
be stuck calling them every month to get your credit.

This started happening for me about 6 months ago and still is ongoing.
I call every two months for credit.

Please, please, e-mail me at cingularwirelessvmd@hotmail.com

We can nail these guys!

Thanks!

Insted of trying to "nail these guys" have you actually taken the time to
take your bill to a Cingular store and see what they can do?

I have spoken on the phone to *at least* two Cingular Wireless employees
(first the customer service person, then the supervisor) MONTHLY FOR SIX
MONTHS!

Every time they lie to me about what VMD is (and they have some pretty
imaginative lies), then they swear it will never be on my bill again.

Finally, I got fed up and decided to try to take some action.

Reasonable?

But you still didnt take it to a Cingular store. Take it there. Get a face
on the voice. It works better. You dont seem interested in persuing all your
options.

I'm a half-hour from the nearest Cingular Wireless store. THEY are
making the mistake and *I* should have to put in an hour of driving to
fix it?

You gotta be kidding.

No actually sometimes the best way to right a wrong is face to face.

Or accept it!

Actually, I have a class action attorney working on it.

Cingular Wireless is sending out fraudulent bills. That's a legal matter
and I'm persuing legal action.

If anyone has the same problem, it would be helpful to hear from you.

OH, half hour.  It must be tough.  It's not like your kid has to drive
45 miles one way to high school because the school bus doesn't come out
this far.  Do you have to drive 200 miles for doctors' appointments,
too?  And of course, all your gasoline stations, all stores, and all
other places that you go oustide of your home are in the exact opposite
direction that the Cingular store is, right?

Not to be mean, but sometimes you have to bite the bull-et or put up
with the bull-sh.t.

Explain to me again why I should put in an hour of driving time (with no
guarantee of success) because the people at Cingular Wireless are
sending me fraudulent bills.

Thanks.

I work for Cingular (Engineering, not Customer Service)...not really my job
to intervene into CS issues, but he sounded pretty frustrated.

I kicked his post up to National HQ...they want to help him, so I sent him
an email request early last week. He never answered.

Thanks for the head's up on your e-mail.

For the record, you didn't send it last week. You sent it December 31.
Seeing that every day since then is a holiday, I didn't feel the need to
check the mailbox.

Now that I've seen that the e-mail has been send, I'll check out the
contents.

Thanks.

Quit screwing around with them and file a complaint with the
California Department of Consumer Affairs.

Sheri,

I've been trying to get Cingular Wireless to answer that very question
for SIX MONTHS!

I have spoken to more than a DOZEN people at Cingular Wireless, and have
never received an answer that is even close to satisfactory!

It should be a charge for using the voice mail system on a prepaid account,
the real question is why it is appearing on a post paid account. Something
is setup wrong to allow this charge, and because it is not possible to setup
a post paid account with prepaid features then it is not eazy to fix.
