Cingular Wireless ripoff making interest off my money free phone Atlanta Georgia

So the comment back to me was that it's not a Cingular phone. Cingular's name is on the phone and Cingular put together the package so they can make money off me for 2 years with their contract. The "free" phones were part of a package deal from Cingular. I finally received my rebate checks exactly 1 year after I received my phone. I hope you had a good time with my $400 dollars, Cingular!! As you continue to rip people off!!!

If you have to wait 180 days before you can send in your rebate, you purchased your phone from an independent agent not cingular. Those agents have strict Terms and Conditions, and you have to read before you order.

This is a typical T&C from any online independent Agent, not cingular.
