Cingular's One-Way Contract

**Capper** · September 20th, 2006

Quote:

Beckie is a reader who started out with a cell phone from a small company that got bought by AT&T. As you well know, AT&T was bought by Cingular. A few months later, Beckie received a letter from Cingular asking her to voluntarily discontinue her service because more than 50% of her calls were using competing networks and she was no longer economically feasible for Cingular. In return, Cingular would allow her to keep her numbers. No refund. No apology. No free unlocked phones.

Ah corporate america isn't it great. The dollar is the only thing that matters anymore. You would think that they could work something out that was beneficial to both parties.
