Mobile Phones & Broadband

[sambutters]

I bought a prepaid phone for $20 and $20 of minutes. I had the sales person activate the phone or so I thought last Saturday. I was told to wait a half hour and then the phone should work.

I didn't try to use the phone until Monday evening. It didn't work. No minutes. I grabbed my receipt and went to the Best Buy where I bought the phone.

Once there I was told I had to produce the minutes card, which I did not bring. I asked why I needed to produce the card. I was told that I might be trying to steal minutes from them. I asked if they could check the activity on the phone. I didn't get an answer.

I drove home and got the minutes card. I handed the card to the sales person. A half hour later I walked out PO'ed.

I told the sales person I would never step foot in any Best Buy. He said he was glad.

You may imagine my pleasure that Best Buy is closing stores. I hope the one I bought my phone is one of them.

Maybe if they treated their customers better, they wouldn't be closing any stores.

The reason they needed the card was because each card has a different pin. In order for them to call carrier and find out why you didn't get the min they need that card.
