Now I Remember Why I Don’t Have A Phone Line! (Part 2)
Previously on “Now I Remember Why I Don’t Have A Phone Line!”, I called AT&T only to find out they have a 55 minute hold time. So I requested an automated call back the next day.
They called me back right when I asked them to and within seconds I was connected to a customer service rep. Who asked “What phone number or account number are you calling about”.
I replied “I don’t have a phone number or an account with you. I am calling because I moved into a new house a year ago, and never had a phone line installed, however there is still a large PVC pipe and wires sticking up in my front yard that I would like to have removed”.
AT&T, “I can help you with that, what is the phone number at that location?”
Me, “As I started the call by saying, I don’t have a phone line at all, so I don’t have a phone number.”
AT&T, “Oh so do you use this line for high speed Internet only?”
Me, “No, there is *NO* (said slower for emphasis) phone line connected to my house at all, we just use our cell phones. However, there is a PVC pipe and some wire sticking up in the middle of the yard that has never been removed because I didn’t have a phone line installed?”
AT&T, “Do you know the Area Code and first three digits of a phone number in the area”.
ME, *thinking*, “Um 770, and 529″ (my brother used to live not to far from here and that was how his number started).
AT&T then collected my address, cell phone number (she finally caught on to that), name, etc. She said they will send someone out. So now….the waiting game.
