Cingular Wireless ripoff Atlanta Georgia

Been a Cingular customer since 2000 . In 2002 upgraded plan and added 2nd phone . At end of contract wanted to drop 2nd phone and just keep origional phone number for only phone .
I had a Family Talk plan and just wanted to go back to a single plan with only free roaming and free long distance . Cingular stated , I could not get the plan with the phone I already had and that if I wanted the plan I wanted would have to get a new pnone for it .
That is ripoff # 1 , you must by new phone , wheather you want to or not .

If your new customer , they might give you a phone , or at least a deal on one . If you are exisiting customer , forget it , buy it or else .
Nedless to say , I informed them that since my contract ad been fulfilled and was expired I would just go elsewhere and become a new customer with someone else and then at least they would not gouge me for a new phone .
Received bill shortly later for $ 73 + and called Customer Service to see what final amount was because bill I received was for service peroid from 7-25 to 8-24 and I had cancelled the account on 7-27 .
They said the amount on bill was right because their policy is whether you use 2 days or 30 days you still pay for whole month .
$ 73 for 2 days use of cell service ?? I don't think so . This is the biggest fraud I have ever seen commited .
Cingular claims they only prorate bills at start of service , not on end .
Received letter the other day explaining it to make me feel better ....
On the first month of your service , we prorated your days but you were allowed to access all your monthly minutes during that time so it all averages out anyway .
The expect you to feel good about getting ripped off , don't they ?
I sent them what I feel was a reasonable payment for the two days service and guess they are not willing to accept that .
Don't care , am not going to accept paying what looks like a form of extortion for a lousy two days service .
