Dear Alltel,

Hi.  remember me.  I have been a faithful customer for 6 years now.

I am the customer who called before he moved and asked about a new local number.  you told me it would be no problem.

I am the customer who has now moved and tried to get a new local number only to find that it can’t be done unless you change the number on both phones (which you need in your possession at the retail store) OR I “split” the lines into 2 accounts raising my total monthly rate $50-$60.

I am the customer who used to have the $49/ month plan and then you raised it to $79/month but are giving me the second line free.  Nice gesture…if you’re out to make money on me and not help me.

I am the customer who was told service in this area was great and then moved and found out the service is horrible.

I am the customer who has had more dropped calls in one week in my location than I have in the 6 years I have been with you.

I am the customer whom obviously is not in YOUR circle of friends.

I am the customer you are about to lose because you don’t care about me…the customer.

I am the customer that had to walk out of your store today so I didn’t cancel my account and demand you pay my $200 service cancellation fee.  In reality I am sure this will be a future event.

I am more than frustrated and annoyed.  I am severely hacked off right now and this is the only way I can peacefully vent about this.

You are the cell phone provider I have so eagerly told my friends and family about and many have come over to use your service because of the gracious things I have said about your service in the past.

I am the customer who has a blog where 700-1200 people visit weekly…often linking back to me for others to read.

I am the customer who wants to work this out.  What can ou do to help me.

Sincerely,

One very frustrated customer.

    I feel your alltel pain. Imagine getting a bill that is half the size of your monthly income. And it being there fault.

    Cell phone service is so old in the US. In japan/europe, they’ve figured this out a long time ago. They all are “pay as you go.” So much for free markets in the US, europeans beat us to it.

    good luck fighting the man.

    So Chris,
    Let me get this straight. Are you upset with Alltel? I couldn’t really tell from your blog. But, hey, I’m a little slow on the uptake.

    Glad to see that you’re getting all settled in. We’ll miss you around here but I’m happy for you that you’ve found a new home and a new ministry that feels right to you.

    If you could, would you mind emailing me your new address? And email address? I’ve got some things and questions about your former church and would rather not have personal business on your public blog.

    Keep in touch and God Bless!
