Ok, so I went to the Cingular store during lunch. Luckily, I walked in as someone else was leaving so I was helped immediately. People who came in after me weren't so lucky. They were all still waiting when I left.

I had a choice of about 7 phones to replace my now defunct SunCom one. They ranged in price from $20 to $80, but were going to be free. I briefly glanced over the bunch, noticing that most were flip phones (which I'm afraid I'll never find in the depths of my purse), and promptly asked for the same thing I had, just in the 'Cingular' version.

So now I have the same exact phone, 2 ac chargers, 2 manuals, a new coverage plan (which is practically the same at this point), and an account in my name. All for the low, low price of...well, ok, so I didn't have to pay anything, but I did have to take a long lunch to deal with all this crap. Oh well.

At least I'm not one of those customers who were so upset that all Cingular stores now have security guards in them. People are crazy. It's just phone service. Sheesh.

So anywayz, point is, I'm back in business and taking calls! :)
