Cell phone pain June 23, 2006

Cingular have managed to turn my US cell phone into a brick while outside the US.
I can dial my voice mail - and that’s it.
Same phone just a few weeks ago was working perfectly - I was in Germany and I could dial globally. Now I just get ‘calls barred’ and a nice message in German.
Cingular are working on it.. Not much fun.
[Edit - I spoke again to the Cingular international support team - they now realise that something got broken on my account. They turned off my international roaming in one of the billing cycles. They said 72 hours to fix it. I said I spend thousands per month with them - fix it tonight or I go to another vendor. They promised by midnight Central time. Nice. Here's hoping.]

At least you don’t have Sprint, otherwise your phone would *really* be useless!
