I'd suggest contacting them directly (or the law firm handling the case) to see if you're eligible. I don’t know.

I was with AT&T until I was force to get Cingular phone. They would turn off my phone and said that I had to use my mintues each month before the payment of each month was do. Every month cingular would make up excuess for what was going on. I was under contact with cingular wireless a family plan. My bill went from 358.00 to $1,400. I told them that they were over charging me for the service in 2004. Another thing my son went to cingular downtown, dc and he just gave them my cell number and they put him on my account without my permission. I called cingular and told it was against the law for what they did and told me to pay $175 for termination of contact. I don't give anybody permission to be on my account. It was just my daughter and me. They would charge $59.00 a month and $19.00 for my daughter that wasn't true. They was charging both of us $59.00 each under that plan. And my son was still on my plan charging him $59.00 too. They have know family plan that is why my bill was outragous. Cingular had just made me angery so I contact FCC and file a complaint with them agaist Cingular in July 2005. They had investigated and the president of cingular had call and I explain to her what was going on with my account being over charge. She dropped everything except the download which I paid for. Cingular need to be suited becasue they are over charging people with there services when switching from AT&T to cingular. They should be out of business. I have proof of everything my paper work from FCC. And from cingular. I am glad someone is watching what is going on with cingular wireless they are just like sprint when they first came out over charging customers and they had a class action lawsuit filed against them to.

All the corporate cell phones were AT&T (although they're GSM). We were forced to Cingular for all new sign-ups and forcefully switched to Cingular for all previously AT&T customers. Luckily the migaration hasn't been terribly painful for the company. A co-worker and I are very happy to have had T-Mobile through the whole process (maybe lack of EDGE isn't so bad after all).

Recording the phone call was an act of pure genius! jason: I hear you. I used to think most companies had everything wrapped up in a neat little bow, but then I learned more about the inner workings and realized that most places have lots of room for improvement. Although in Cingular's case, I believe it has a lot more room than others have. danithew: I hadn’t seen that story before. Recording the phone call was an act of pure genius!

I remember you telling me the story about the AT&T thing and finally resorting to "Get Gephart" to resolve the matter. Seeing large companies screw up gives me a fuzzy warm feeling of hope for our own company. That’s amazing.

I can't help but be reminded of the story of AOL customer service hell that so many people identified with.
