Here’s 5 easy steps to getting a $1343.92 cell phone bill:

1. Sign up for a 900 min per month voice plan
2. Add on the Unlimited Data option
3. Add on 200 text message option
4. Cingular makes a mistake and forgets to add on the Unlimited Data option, charging me 1 cent per kilobyte
5. Become a text message fiend and send 1322 text message in one month

Result: $1343.92 cell phone bill for a single month.

Obviously there is no way I’m paying this, and have already contacted Cingular about their mistake on my data plan.  One thing I really need to do is to get a beefier text message plan

Many people, including me, that bought a Samsung Blackjack when they were just released didn’t get the extended battery and cover.  Looks like Cingular/AT&T must have got a lot of complaints because they’re now giving them away for free for those “customers dissatisfied with battery life”!  These are the terms:

• Extended battery is also available as a free option for customers dissatisfied with battery life
• AT&T is not overtly communicating this option. Should be used on a case-by-case basis.
• Customer needs to fill out a web form
• URL is http://www.web-rebates.com/cingular/blackjack
• Needs IMEI, MIN and shipping address
• IMEIs between 352794010030189 - 352794012269959 are eligible for this offer
• Young America will process & fulfill
• Web site will be live Feb 16th 2007. Fulfillment process may take 2 to 4 weeks due to short supply of extended batteries

To get your IMEI # without shutting your phone off, enter *#06#.  Don’t forget to include the trailing number after the “/”, as that is the final digit of your IMEI.
