Cingular assinged my number to someone else

| I got a pre-paid plan which I have not used for 2 months (out of the
country). When I came back, I found out that my number was assigned to
someone else. Is this legal action? Thanks.

As I understand the prepaid plans, the contract is 'active' as long as
you 'reload' or buy more minutes for the account. Most minutes will
expire 30 or 45 days after purchase. By failing to 'reload' your
prepaid account before the expiration time, you have effectively
canceled your contract.

Two months after your airtime expiration date your account is
cancelled. So the basic answer to your question is - Yes.

| What can I do now- buying another SIMM card from Cingular? Does anyone know
if there is a pre-paid paid with expiration date of 1 yr or longer? Thanks.

| Nevermind, I just found out that there is a 1-yr expiration plan from
Cinguar website. Thanks.

You're better off using T-Mobile prepaid. Get the thousand minute card
up front; those minutes expire after 1 year, but as long as you add even
a few minutes to the account before then, those original 1000 minutes
will continue and expire only at the newer date.

Correct, but there's still a "contract" with prepaid- not a length-of-
time contact, but a set of rules, terms, and conditions; for instance,
how long your account stays alive when at a zero balance.

| Ben Skversky 2007-05-27, 10:33 pm |
| You are correct. I stand corrected.

With T-mobile after you spend $100 on minutes (1000 minute, one year card)
even a ten minute card will extend it another year plus there's a discount
(15% I think) so you'll get more than ten minutes out of it.
