the other end of the telephone

October 25 2005
I called the Cingular 800 number today to request a new SIM card because my phone was stolen.

The lady couldn't do anything for me, she had to transfer me to the Sales Department.

Well I get transferred over to some random sales department and the guy on the other end asks me where I live for the purpose trying to get me a  new card. I tell him Orlando, and then He asks for my mobile number. I start to give him my number "615" and he stops me in order to inform me that that's a Nashville area code. I told him that's where I was from, but am in Orlando for the semester. yada yada.

turns out that the random sales center I  was transferred to was in Antioch, TN and the sales rep I talked to recently graduated from MTSU. . .

talk about wierd. . .but he was very helpful in assisting me in beating cingular at their own game.
