My phone has aids! Fuck T Mobile hard, then pull out, back up and fuck T Mobile again harder. They are the assholes of the week, for making a phone that is more expensive than their other phones, yet does less. T Mobile’s slogan should be, “No money for Research and Development. What do you expect; we pay Catherine Zeta Jones a shitload O’ cash.”
They weren’t always assholes. I had a sidekick 2 for almost 2 years. Loved it. Had its quirkiness like all cell phones, but worked well. It got the internet, instant messaging, text messaging, phone, notepad, and more, for 75 bucks a month; 55 dollars for my phone plan, 20 dollars for unlimited text messaging, internet, and instant messaging. No other hidden charges. So I figured, “I’ll just buy another sidekick, pop in my SIM card, and be on my way.”
Nope. That didn’t happen. Now I know I could just get a regular plane old phone and be done with it, but I’ve been on a fancier phone for almost two years. Yes I’m spoiled. I DESERVE the best; I am a SWANKY man. Plus, I need REAL internet on my phone, not one of those ridonculous mobile internets, AND I like a QWERTY keyboard. Remember; I’m glamorous.
So I speak to TWO “salespeople” at two different locations. Each one says that they are discontinuing the sidekick. They have the Sidekick at T Mobile headquarters. But it will take over a week to get one, it has only gotten more expensive, and I can’t get a substitute phone until it arrives. “But we have this phone, the new MDA, which has all the features of the sidekick and more.” Glazed look over my eyes as Gregorian chants play in my head. They have the hooks in me now. It costs a little more than getting a new sidekick, and if they are discontinuing the sidekick, it is not wise to get a new one, right?
The “salesperson” says that unlimited internet charges for the MDA are thirty dollars a month. Unlimited Internet, text messaging, and instant messaging. This is what the “salesperson” said. So stupid Latin me, I’m like, “well, that would make my phone bill 85 dollars a month instead of 75. I can still afford that, and have a great phone that will grow with me as my career does” (just let me be delusional for a minute.)
So I get my first bill, and its 110 dollars. Plus, I’m getting charged for text messages. I call T Mobile, and the person on the phone says the 30 dollar monthly charge is for internet only, but if I wanted unlimited text messages, it’s only another 15 dollars a month.
I was fucking lied to! Blatant lie! I feel like I have sperm on my face!. Hoodwinked by some new fangled gadget and a “salesperson” with an accent, plus a monthly bill that I won’t be able to afford. What really bugs me is that when I tell the phone operator what happened, he didn’t care at all. No, “hold on Mr. Rivera, I will look into this.” None of that. But why would they, they got me in a fucking contract, they have my business, and they are a corporation. Once a business gets big, they don’t need you anymore. So now I changed my plan, and I have like 15 minutes a month, with unlimited weekends, yay! Ugh. What a fucking nightmare.
Did I mention that my phone does less? I can’t download ring tones, games, nothing. And oh, the instant messaging doesn’t work. It sort of works. I can SEND messages, but can’t RECEIVE them; I spent a half hour yesterday with someone sitting next to me, sending me instant messages; she could send and receive, I couldn’t. Oh by the way, her phone is a sidekick. I hope the “salesperson” that tricked me into this loses an immediate family member! Also, my phone has Windows Mobile, so it fucking freezes half the time and I have to restart it. Close second for asshole of the week: Bill Gates, another jerk wad who got us to buy into his shit. I hope the new Mac coming out destroys you!
I don't feel any better...but if you want to call me about it, wait till the weekend.
T Mobile 100 percent sucks
