Sprint Exported a phone number to Cingular for 16 year old stepdaughter without my permission now charging me $317.88 Atlanta Georgia

First, when you go into a store to open a cell phone account, they check your id, run credit, and make you sign a contract. A copy of that contract would have to be made available upon request.

But most important, is the fact that it is unlikely that the 16 year old stepdaughter would have sufficient credit to get the phone service activated without a huge deposit, AND they would see that she is only 16 and would need a legal guardian or parent to sign, and provide their SS# to open the account.

And, if the Sprint # was actually in your name, your stepdaughter COULD NOT export the number to an new account in her name. Simply does not happen.

Is there an ex husband or boyfriend involved here?

Too many things just don't add up here.

Your step-daughter is not of legal age to consent to a contract for any purpose. You might want to suggest this to the company and ask them what the legal age is for this company to accept a verbal or written contract.

All Sprint did was follow the instructions given to them by Cingular (Now the new AT&T). It IS NOT Sprint's fault that your stepdaughter used your information without your permission to get new cellphone service. It may not be what you want to hear, but the fact of the matter is that your stepdaughter is at fault for what happened to your account.

If she had waited until your contract expired to port that phone number out, then you would not have gotten that $200 ETF. However, as that was not the case, Sprint has every right to charge you an ETF since "you" breached your contract by canceling your service (porting a number is considered the same as canceling your service).

Now, I would recommend canceling that 772-633-5330 number before your 30 days are up and you get another $200 fee. Also, I would highly recommend contacting AT&T because what your stepdaughter did is considered fraud, and if she screws up that account, then it will be reflected on YOUR credit report. And even if the account is under your stepdaughter's name, then that would mean that AT&T is at fault for allowing the transfer of a phone number which is your property. Either way, Sprint did everything by the books, and there really is nothing that can be done about it from Sprint's side. You might on the other hand be able to take legal action against AT&T for stealing your property though.

Wife called me this morning at work and tells me the sprint bill was $15+ higher then last month and I ask her why. She says she called them to find out why. They told her that last month on the 18th of August, that "someone" called and ordered "the phone photo package", whatever the hell that is. She tells them NO, SHE didn't order that package. They tell her "someone" ordered that package. She tells them that NO ONE ordered that package. They tell her that "someone" ordered that package, MAYBE it was YOUR HUSBAND. She tells them that he isn't allowed to do anything cause he's tried to talk to you people before and you won't let him cause the account is in her name. They tell her "someone" ordered the package. My wife then tells them that it was kind of hard for one of US to order the package cause WE WERE ON A CRUISE OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO ON THE 18th. They didn't have anything to say after that. They refunded the $15+ and took the "package" off our phones. It's amazing what happens when they get caught lying AND YOU CAN PROVE IT. F' them.
