Phone Woes Update.

My new phone number was supposed to be activated today, but alas it wasn't. So at 2:30 I called the phone company to ask when the phone would be turned on. They couldn't even FIND THE ORDER!! Oh my heavens. This couldn't possibly be happening. The respresentative said that she couldn't even find the new number, but that my old number should be working ( it wasn't). She also said that I couldn't get the new number that I was assigned. After 45 minutes of this crud, she got Terri, the account specialist.

Terri said that they had to work on my account because my phone never should have been turned off, and it would take a couple of weeks to connect a new phone. She then figured out that if I would accept having two seperate accounts, instead of my home and computer line on the same bill, I could get the new number hooked up on Thursday.

She also gave me $10 off per month for the next year, and $25 off my first bill. I can also possibly get back my original number that I had for 10 years, next month.

What a hassle. I have enjoyed the peace and quiet, and since no one will have my new number, I am sure the house will be quiet for a long time.

I will update on Thursday to let you know if I have a phone.

Hey there, girl. I've missed a whole week, so I don't know why you're trying to get a different phone & number. Things used to be so easy,,, but that has changed. Truth be known,,, I suspect they only have to flip a switch, but they want to punish us for somethin'.
