Cingular TXT Message SPAM
|
|
| karlkrandall@sbcglobal.net 2007-03-14, 10:33 am |
| Finally worked my way up to a Vice President; and got satisfaction for
Cingular sending txt message SPAM to an account that had txt messaging
deactivated.
They went through many interatiions.
First the CSRs said it was an Administrative Message
Then the head of the "Office of the President" said it was a Marketing
Message.
Today the VP called it an accident..

Don't tell Navas. His head will explode.
Hey, Navas--what's your response to THIS one, eh? Even Cingular's VP
doesn't try to defend it. So what's YOUR problem?
Oh, I see. You're not that far up the food chain. You're only up as
far as...the CSR level.
HEY--YOU'RE A CSR AT CINGULAR. Now we know the truth.

Called it an accident or you an accident.
Glad to see that you're ringing up the nuisance credits just as you did
with Sprint- you must be starving for attention again.

It was fun using the automatic system to get credits for the myriad
dropped calls with Sprint. But finally the Biodegradable plastic
phones that held a grand total of 8 ringtones was a downer.
I will always hold corporations to account when they screw up, rather
than look to make excuses for them. And it was ATTWS that
I previously held their feet to the fire.
Doesn't mean I'm not a happy Cingular customer (jeez anything is
better than Sprint), and happily awaiting an iPhone.

How did they screw up? They were well within their rights to contact you
as an existing customer. You were simply looking for a nuisance credit,
which is very appropriately named in this case.

Good- let me know how the Flinstone technology works for you. I'd rather
have cutting-edge technology for that price rather than a repackage of at
least ten less-than-$200 phones that I can think of.

How is that an admission of fraud?
He got credit for the myriad of dropped calls. That's not fraud.

Do you honestly think that "the VP" called you? For that matter do you
think that any VP of the company called you about a single text
message?
What you got was an intelligent customer service rep. who realized
just by saying he/she was a VP and saying something was an accident
would satisfy you and get you off the line.
Now I have some ocean front property for sale in South Dakota - any
takers? <GRIN>

Funny, Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, and Yankee group have for each of
the last three years since I left Sprint,
still rank it WORST in Customer Service. Nothing has changed there.

We'll see who has the last laugh come July 1. meanwhile I was 100%
correct that V3 phones would be free by now, indeed they're at minus
$50 if bought through Amazon,

Nope it was the Vice President. No CSR has the authority to do what he
did.

It's a fine tradition going back to the titles on car dealership
business cards, where every salesperson was a VP of something ("VP of
Fleet Sales" was always a good one).

And the most recently released independent study of dropped calls rated
them higher than Cingular (the self -professed leader). The legacy
Cingular network came in fifth, I believe.

How is stating the obvious an insult? The phone will do nothing useful
on the network that any one of about a dozen current production models
and a couple of dozen retired production models of various manufacturers
already do. And any one of those phones can be had for under $200, with
a few available for a little more than $100. Hell, the Razr has the
network functionality of your beloved iPhone. And based on the publicly
acknowledged supply issues Apple is experiencing to manufacture the
phone, the chances of getting a defective phone will be extremely high.
No thanks, I'll pass- I'd rather own a phone that will work and not pay
a price reserved for the clueless.

For that matter, my V3xx is quite good at playing music, and podcasts as
well. I just might buy a dirt cheap 1 GB memory card. :)

What part of what I wrote was unclear?
My practice is to use the best tool for the job at hand. For some of my
professional work, that will be Solaris on a Sun workstation. For other
things, that will be Windows, BSD, or Linux on an Intel machine. For
still other things, that will be a Mac, especially when my client is
using Macs. (For what it's worth, my personal machine of choice is
Windows XP with guest BSD and Linux on an IBM ThinkPad T41.)
Regardless, the characteristics of current Macs have no real bearing the
upcoming iPhone -- the iPod is probably more relevant, although only
partially relevant. Only time will tell how well the iPhone measures up
to and will do against offerings from established major cellular
manufacturers. I would frankly be surprised if the iPhone amounts to
more than a niche product, with small market share like the Mac (not the
iPod). Or was that what you meant? ;)

The same was said by a few when the iPod came out.
I'll let you know how it works when I get mine. The current "major
offerings" are dismal. The industry needed a shakeup.

I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Would be truly sad if
he were presenting himself as something he's not. Doesn't bother me
either way.

I doubt he uses Mac. It is like his claim that writing wiki is equal to

What possible relevance or importance would that have in this context?
I've used lots of different Macs. Do you want a complete list? How far
back must I go? Do you also want the model numbers of the Sun
workstation, all the non-Mac Intel boxes, and the configuration of my
personal ThinkPad? ;)

So you don't actually own any Macs.

You insist on speaking obliquely. What's the big deal?

lack of relevance. Waste of time.

Here is what you need to know about this issue.
Cingular/AT&T has the ok to send SMS to you.
Read the following
a.. No one may use an automatic dialing machine to call your wireless
phone number - including to send a text message to that telephone number -
unless you have given prior express permission for the call or the call is
made for an emergency purpose, i.e., the call is necessary in a situation
that affects the health and safety of consumers. There is a limited
exception allowing cell phone companies to contact their own subscribers.
b.. If you have registered your cell phone number on the National
Do-Not-Call Registry, no one may make a telephone solicitation to that
telephone number, unless you have given prior express permission for the
solicitation or have an established business relationship with the caller.
If you tell a company not to call again - even if it has a business
relationship with you - that company is prohibited from calling you with
solicitations.

Unfortunately, all entities with whom you have a business relationship
are exempt.
