I am so angry I'm just shaking. I don't even know where to begin.
A couple of months ago my Blackberry died and since I had the upgrade credit on my account, I got one of the new G1 Google phones through TMobile. At first my husband thought it was funny and geeky ... but he's played with mine and really liked it and decided that at some point he kinda wants one.
So. We agreed on a small budget for Christmas this year and we agreed that we'd buy each other one present. (Even though we're separated, we're still sharing and house and we're still really good friends and wanted Christmas to be nice).
You can see where this is going I'm sure. Of course I got him a G1 phone. With the upgrade credit I have and the discount from my small business account, I got it for the same amount as if it were a new activation - under $200. It was going to be a complete surprise. I did it today - went to TMobile, bought the phone, went ahead and activated the data plan, and told them I'd swap out the SIM chip myself on Christmas day. All well and fine.
Then I got home and hubby showed me his current phone - the new text message he got. Not 10 minutes after I left the store, TMobile sent a text message that said "Congratulations on getting your new G1 Phone. For information .... etc." with a link to the TMobile forums.
I'm so angry.
It's the ONLY thing I'm getting him this Christmas and now the surprise is totally ruined. I seriously am so angry I want to cry.
I called TMobile and they were all apologetic, but of course I'm not getting anything - no credit, no bonus, no nothing. And hubby has no Christmas surprise.
