OK, so before I explain what happened at Amazon I have to say that their automatic "call me now" thing is cool.
So I just got off the phone with the Amazon rep. I told him that the rep from Cingular suggested that I would be charged an additional amount if I didn't return the Berry. He said no and we talked a bit... obviously I wouldn't be eligible for the rebate, but it's not like they would be able to charge me something over and above what I had paid already. Then he said "Boy that's a good price for a BlackBerry!" and I wanted to say NO SH*T!
So that's it. Cingular is theoretically cancelled. Amazon doesn't care if they get their phone back,and now I'm just waiting for Adam and charging my battery of course!
There's only one thing though... I'm still not confident that the woman from Cingular cancelled my account correctly. Call me paranoid, but she was at best misleading and she
out-and-out lied about me having to return the phone to Amazon in order to cancel the service. That really pisses me off. If you want to give me the full court press about staying with your service that's one thing. But when you straight up lie to me that's another. Kinda makes me want to cancel three or four plans just to get back at them
Even though I think I've kinda proven the Amazon thing will work (despite some healthy skepticism and an eye on the mailbox for some BS Cingular charge), I'll keep going until I get my unlock code from Adam and connect with TMO so people have a sense of how the process works.
