I'm so glad AT&T was able to pull itself back together again. I had forgotten just how much crap a monopoly can accomplish when there's no oversight by anyone.

Sarah Scheuring tried for two months to contact her husband stationed in Afghanistan using a multitude of the prepaid AT&T calling cards available to military personnel and their families, only to have the minutes on her cards disappear, leaving her with about two minutes of talk time for each $27.50 card.
For years ConsumerAffairs.com has heard the complaints of soldiers and their families who are forced to pay high prices to use AT&T, which signed an exclusivity contract with the Department of Defense in 2000. But never have consumers said they've paid as much as Scheuring of Placerville, Calif.
“I have spent over $700 in the last two months because I have no other option to get a hold of my husband,” Scheuring wrote to us in mid-May. |
Full description of the scam and the solution the young lady finally found can be read HERE:
Have fun making excuses for this one.
