You want to hear something sad? I am an AT&T employee that has a Cingular Premiere account. I'm TRYING to get an upgrade on my phone. Well, the phone I'm looking for is the Blackjack. On the Premiere website, they have a refurb Blackjack for $100.00, but since I have a combined account with AT&T, it would not let me order it online, but instead to call 611 on my phone (which I did). The gal there said she could not find the refurb, but if I get the data pack she could sell me a new phone for $60.00!!! The data pack is $39.99/mo, at which I said I wanted to think it over and I'd call back. Well, I decided it was a good deal and called back 45 minutes later, and guess what? My new service rep said that deal was "Off" since I did not take it 45 minutes ago. EXCUSE ME?!? She said it would be $270.00 or some crap like that! I asked about the online offer for $100 and she said that she can't help me. Now that TOTALLY SUCKS! I'm a stinkin employee of the company, have 2 other phones and they are gonna screw a "Fellow" employee over?!? I really hate to see how they treat the "average joe" customer since they jacked me around so bad. Is there anyone out there who can help me get my $60.00 phone or even the $100 phone?!? I still in shock after today's events. PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I'm not sure how anyone here would be able to help you since you are already an employee of at&t, but I would suggest that you talk with your manager about the situation and see if there is anything that he/she would be able to do for you.

That's very disconcerting. I guess do what MobilePrincess pointed out, try and talk to your manager. Or you can call 611 again, asked to be immediately escalated to a supervisor, and tell him/her of your situation. That might help.

To be honest, sometimes you just have to hang up and call again. There are some CSR's that are very strict and unmovable when it comes to things like this. Often times if you call back in you can find a CSR that will be willing to make another deal with you
