Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Buying a new Cell Phone -- Need HELP

Just a word of warning.

My tab contract with Wind Mobile had ended so I thought I was free and clear to move myself to a new Cell provider. The process is supposed to be that you don't cancel your account with the old cell phone company as then you would loose your telephone number. So you need to take in your old contract to the new provider and they port your number over.

Well it seems that some .. ie WindMobile didn't like this and mysteriously decided that my phone suddenly did have $300 worth of a TAB on the phone and stuck me with a bill for $430 for moving my phone made up of charges for another months service even though I effectively canceled with them, Data charges for my phone after it was ported to the new provider and this TAB.

Seems all is not well in the Telecom market place.
