Having worked for the company on and off for the past 30 years I have to comment on the rebuttal. Yes, sometimes some franchise stores are a little shifty. But they carry the Radio Shack name and they are just as responsible as a corporate store. A lie told at either type of store is still a lie. The customer should contact the company, either district level or main office at Fort Worth, TX. Just saying they are a franchise does not remove all responsibility from Radio Shack. If nothing else, they will lose the franchise.

Radishack themselves only sell Verizon and Sprint phones, we do not sell cingular cellular service. I do agree that what you were told were lies. Its something that was teh associates fault, either because he was misinformed or greedy. However he was not trained by a corporate store, the franchise stores can carry whatever they want really. ANd they have been known to carry other cell carriers and merchandise a corporate store never carries. So you did not purchase it from an actual radioshack but a franchise store privately owned, that simply uses the radioshack name.
