Burninating, Yuri, Cell Phones...

[foxgrrl]

1. Got zapped with lasers for the last time today. The anesthetic worked this time, so I wasn't screaming and crying in pain for several hours.
2. I'm thinking of going to this: http://www.worldspaceparty.com/schedule.php
3. My cell phone suddenly stopped working the other day &mdash That is to say, when I try to call out with it, I get a recorded message saying that this phone is not authorized for making phone calls. This is not the message you get when you don't pay your bill. At first I thought it was just a local outage, but it wasn't. So I go to the <phone carrier> franchise store, and I discover that my current phone has been deactivated because there's a new phone on my account, and the number was transfered to that. This was news to me; I didn't get a new phone. So they gave me the 800 number to call, cause they couldn't do anything there. The 800 number is a voice menu hell, which only accept voice input, no DTMF. If you ask for anything about Activation/Deactivation or other, it says it's forwarding you to a [human] representitive… but it's really a recording saying that, Your call could not be completed as dialed, please hang up and try you call again

Agreed about various hells. I think that's one nice thing about T-Mobile. Sure, it's expensive, and the reception is bad, and file transfers are slow. But their support line is one of the few good voice menu thingies. You can use touch-tone, you can use voice, and if you press 0, it actually says, 'Hold on, I'll get you in touch with someone.' before connecting you to a real human. And the winningest part is that if it gets confused, and even if you fail entering the account information in, it defaults to 'Get you in touch with someone' without even pressing 0.

I swear, their support, in both menu and people, is reason alone to stick with them.

My money is on the hijack/clone, BTW.
