class action law suit

Ever since the merger of Cingular and Att wireless I have been
inconvenienced in a way that can be demonstrated in a court of law, to
have had a significant economic loss for me in terms of the value of my
time.

Thanks to the fact that they were not at all prepared to resolve all
issues resulting from ther merger, I ended up loosing hundreds of
contacts stored on my old phone.

I spent many hours going to several of cingular service centers to
recuperate the data from my old phone without success.

Because of this mergar I was forced to get a new phone, nos as good as
the one I used to own.

My former service had not contractual ties, in other words I was free
to choose another carrier any time, but now I had to agree to a 1 year
contrat or else be penalized.

Their exhange program, since the phone I got was deffective, has been
so far unbearably incompetent. Just today I spent one whole hour on
hold, to be tranfered to a condescenting son of a *****.

So if any one out there is interested in joining a class action law
suit against Cingular Wireless; please drop me a detail email. If I
collect enough people I will present it to a specialized law firm.

Thank you

What makes Cingular responsible for that from a legal standpoint?

How? Why didn't you back them up yourself?

How were you "forced"?

Why didn't you get one at least as good?

It was the same deal being given to everyone else, and you were free to choose
another carrier, so how were you harmed?

What makes you think there's a cause of action? What specific law was broken?

"Wonderful, that way we can drive the price of service up even higher to pay
for insurance against ridiculous lawsuits.

And each class member will probably receive about $1.53 while the lawyers
rake in millions.

No worries, this will never make it past the burp stage.

So if there had not been a merger and a cat had knocked your phone into a
sink full of water stopping the phone working (I speak from experience),
would that still be Cingular's fault?

You are holding back on some of the facts, such as why could the data not be
retrieved.

Really? Even the free phones work pretty well these days.

So why didn't you go to another service provider? Let me guess, they wanted
you to sign a contract as well.

Then take the phone back to a Cingular shop and exchange it there. You
managed to visit a number of them in an attempt to recover your phone
numbers.

Next will probably be BellSouth when he complains that he's not
getting his emails.-

It is alleged that enwike claimed:

Oh, do tell...

It is not the carrier's responsibility to back up your contact data. If
this data was important to your job, you should have had it backed up
yourself to your computer, preferably to two computers, one at home and
one at work. By hand if necessary.

Why was it not recoverable? Could you not buy a 99 cent pad of paper
and hand-copy the info?

Not as good? The free phones available now are generally better than
the expensive phones of only four years ago. If this is important to
your business, why did you not get a better phone? IOW, use this as an
excuse to upgrade?

So, why didn't you?

> contrat or else be penalized.

Your old service went away. Deal with it. From all accounts I've
heard, Cingular honored all currently existing AT&TW contracts for the
remainder of the contract terms, and by your own admission, you did not
have a contract. Cingular is not obligated to continue that service.

Maybe if YOU had not been so condescending and/or arrogant you'd have
had a better result.

No, I don't think so. Any such "class members" would receive
essentially nothing even if they win, while the lawyers get all the
real money, money that Cingular will recoup by raising my rate or
reducing my features.

Go away and take responsibility for your own inadequacies.

For THIS I bought a computer?

Really sue someone because you can't figure out how to use your
phone? Maybe my father can sue the VCR Co. for the flashing 12:00.

If you have a look at the posters history, he once posted his home
phone number in a public newsgroup. After a stunt like that (Mr.
Falcon???) it's not surprising that he couldn't figure out how to use
his new phone, back up data from his old phone, etc, etc.

By the way, I wonder how his much vaunted MSCE A+ studies are going.
Or his 'offers' in various alt.sex newsgroups.........
