When I attempted to have my carrier put the same number in my car phone as in the phone I already had they essentially told me to go to hell. They tried to force me to take a seperate contract for the other phone. Of course I could have driven 15 miles to Lawrence, Mass. and have the phone cloned by a "professional" for $50 but it ticked me off so much I cancelled the phone I already had and didn't get another cell phone until last year.
Once I hit a deer and wiped out my front end so I picked up my phone and dialed *SP (same as 911). The 911 operator forwarded my call to the local police department and I had a "free" land line connection for as long as I needed it.
It took me only 10 years to get over my snit with the cell phone provider but I still won't give them much money. Same with GM. They are crooks to insist of $16.95 a month for a standby phone.
What about if you have a problem and you call them up and sign up for it, then call them back about 5 minutes later with your problem.
Today for some reason, he won't leave me alone. He naps at my feet, follows me everywhere I go, and is constantly underfoot. He has never been so "clingy".
I asked him if I was going to die today or something like that but he just put his head up for a scratch. :-)
