We have a phone stalker who is harrassing my friend and her daughter.
When they called Cingular to report the problem, they were told that
it would be $35 (or approx.) to change each number.
This does not seem right. Is there someone at Cingular who we could
contact about this?
Thanks-

Re: Stalker-
They should first talk to their local police department. There might
be a law that has been broken. Here in California it is a crime to
annoy, threaten, or harass someone by phone. I know on landlines that
when a report like this is filed, they often change numbers for very
little cost if any at all. I don't know how Cingular handles that.

Re: Stalker-
The landline companies seem to be very helpful in the case of
harassment. So it was a surprise to find that Cingular seemed to
consider the situation to be a profit opportunity.

Go into a local company owned retail store and let one of the sales staff
know what's happening, and what you would like to do. It's sad but I handle
situations like this at least twice a month.

Now make a useful post. Under what conditions will a customer get a FREE
number change?
