************
I do have another question. Do you think your validation process might reject my two rebates due to a "downgrade" resulting from the unauthorized upgrading of my services by Inphonic? According to Cingular, Inphonic added services to my account on 4/8/06. These were services I not only never ordered, these were services I specifically rejected when I placed my order on 1/6/06. Will the termination of these services be seen as a downgrade?

Dear Mr. ---,
>>>>>
>>>>> Thank you for taking the time to e-mail Cingular Wireless regarding your wireless account. I am happy to help you with your inquiry and I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.
>>>>>
Upon reviewing your account, I see that our records show that yourservice was activated through a web site operated by Inphonic (their
most popular site is Wirefly.com), and that the features were added on 4/8/2006 through an automated system used by our authorized retailers.
Because your account was activated through an Inphonic site, this does allow them some access to add and alter features on your account. It
is possible that this was simply an error and that the features were intended for another customer, but if you would like more information,
you can contact Inphonic at whereismyorder.com

I hope that the information provided has been helpful and has resolved all of your questions. If you need further assistance, feel free to
reply to this e-mail or contact customer service at 1-800-331-0500 or 611 from your Cingular Wireless phone.

I encourage you to visit our web site (cingular.com) often to view current and previous monthly statements, make payments and to shop for
new product and service offerings. Thank you for allowing Cingular Wireless to serve as your wireless company. We will do our best to ensure that your wireless experience is a success.

Hello Dennis,

Thank you for the e-mail. I checked your account and as of this moment we do not show a record of your claim information; however, an expedited payment will be requested provided that your rebates meet all the requirements. Please allow 5-10 business days for processing. Your rebate check will be mailed to the following address

Dennis L****

Please note this payment is contingent upon your wireless service provider not reporting a deactivation/downgrade on your account. Rebates are null and void if a deactivation/downgrade is reported prior to the six month service agreement, which constitutes a breech of the service agreement.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Jon Delahay

Office of the President
