Cell Phone Hell

[dArKeR]

Marvin Campbell says he's stuck with an almost unusable cell phone.

"The phone doesn't work in my house. Okay, I go out in my yard, it doesn't work. I go out in the middle of the street," Campbell says.

When Campbell bought his phone from Cingular Wireless he was told the only so-called dead zones were in the mountain areas above Los Angeles. He didn't get rid of his cell phone because he had already established it as his business line, reports CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes.

"My biggest issue is they lied to me the day that I bought the phone, and they haven't stopped lying since. They will lie to you to sell a phone," Campbell says.

2. cell phone

well with the new ruling saying that you can change cell phone service and keep your old number, this problem will be lessened. now people like him can change cell phone companies and hopefully get better service and not worry about changing their business numbers.

3. I hate Cingular

My problem w/them (Cingular) isn't "dead zones", but the frequent "network busy" error message that I get. When I get another job, I'll definitely be changing providers.
