Had many similar problems with sbc when I changed over my two business lines and DSL to sbc. I HAD THEM PUT EVERYTHING IN WRITTING, INCLUDING HAVING A TECH COME OUT AND HOOK THE MESS UP. To begin with, it took about 6 months to collect the rebates and the $49 visa reward card. It also took 2 trips by the tech before the whole thing worked properly. The tech was great and rewired a bunch of stuff at my office, including the phone lines and several other lines. He told me not to bother with their disk cause it wasn't worth d**k and used software off of his laptop cause I too, couldn't connect using their disk to connect. They tried but couldn't, to bill me for his visits, cause I had it in writting that they would send a tech out AT NO CHARGE. The also tried to overcharge me out the butt, but because I had their quote to change over to them, IN WRITTING, they had to honor those prices. I never did get the rebates, they finally credited my account the amounts of the rebates they had promised. As a matter of fact, they doubled a couple of them which worked out just fine. It just took me 6 months and dozens of phone calls to get them. I find it interesting that a person with an "oriental" name is commenting about people with "indian", "without indian" and "african-american" accents?
Whut?

You haven't even began finding out the errors of SBC! I signed uo 3 years ago for home phone, cell phone and internet all the be about $80.00 per month, my first bill was nearly $500.00! I called immediatley of course I WAS WRONG, I forwarded my email confirmation stating what my bill WAS to be from the rep "Abraham" they had never employed anyone by that name....although the email had ATT/SBC on it and was sent the same day I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone to get "connected" I tried the argument of if you never had a rep by that name then you don't have a customer by my name...didn't fly at all. From that point on my bill was about $140.00 a month....then I moved 11 miles away. For two months I did not get a bill...no worries, I'll just pay it when I get it (I refused to call them any longer after disbuting $140.00 per month for months). I finally got my bill $1,044.00...why? Because they changed my home service....which I only asked to be transferred to a BUSINESS account.Did they correct it? NO...then when my "term" was up they had the nerve to ask "why I wanted to cancel"... good luck your gonna need it
