[SBE] T-Mobile

[Edwin Bukont]

Good idea.  His story was enough to be the nail in the coffin of this thought.  I can not believe such behavior,,,though i should not be surprised.  I do travel overseas at times, so TMobile won't be it.  I did have a similiar nasty with Cingular in 2006 and won't go back to them either for that reason/
