Sleep Spent

So I went into the AT&T Wireless cum Cingular store on Monday because I wanted to make sure my phone was going to work in the UK. The website had said it wouldn’t, so I was going to buy a new phone. But the clerk who helped me said it WOULD work. “Great!” I said. “Problem solved.” But I should have known better than to trust the word of someone who had to be told that “Britain” would probably be listed under “United Kingdom.” >_<

For starters, I couldn’t call abroad. Which was a problem, because when I’m in the UK, I am supposed to dial internationally (011+44+the number). Turns out WorldDial wasn’t turned on (!!). The bimbo at the store didn’t tell me this. I found it out after I called 611.

Everything was all set, they told me on Monday. Except I still couldn’t call abroad. So I called 611 again today. And this time it turns out my phone WON’T work in the UK because they use 900/1800 and my phone is 850/1900.

I went to the store on Monday to get this squared away so I wouldn’t have this problem! I was going to buy a fucking phone!

Oh, but I forget: I’m “now part of the largest wireless network in America.” Whoop-dee-freakin’-do.

I guess I’ll be buying a calling card.
