Okay… now call me

Posted at 9:53 pm by James

Uug. Becky and I are both sick right now. I’m at the end of a 10-day cold, while she’s only 2 days into what’s probably the same thing. I think I picked it up at the office, but it seems to be pretty pervasive at the moment. But anyway, the real point of this post is to say that my phone number works again.

Yes, my 312 number - the troubles that I posted about a while ago. It’s been 14 days since anyone has been able to call me, can you believe it? I kinda write computer software for a living - so I know how complicated things can get. But Sprint’s systems right now are amazing. And by amazing I mean terribly terrible. Half the problem is their multiple account & billing systems that don’t work well together, and the other half of the problem is the lack of training that their people get. Anyway, I’m tired of telling the whole story to 15 customer service people, so I won’t recount it all. My number now works again, and Becky gets to keep the new one she was initially assigned. After one more last hour on the phone, I got roughly $140 knocked off our first $152 worth of billing. So that’s good. If they hadn’t done that, I would have switched companies again even after all that hassle (because of, really).

Tomorrow I will post a widget so you people in the know can download Becky’s new phone number.
