With society becoming more and more reliant on the damned things, why would they want to provide better customer service. My mom's got one of those pay-as-you-go phones (was an xmas gift from us), she pays $120 a year for it (12 $10 cards). Granted, my folks are techno-phobes so she truly uses it for emergency purposes only, or to give me a call if she's around my neck of the woods. Dude, cell phone companies in general blow.

The store guy just filled out a form for me, and waited on hold--on the same number we call when we need customer support. The guy in the store was real nice, but had no power whatsoever. I should've called up on my own, but I don't think it would've changed anything... well there would have been a lot more cursing. The thing is, that WAS customer service.
