i'm getting very angry with this horrible customer service.

I paid $45.00 and the people tell meto wait three more business days and they will contact me when it's ready. Nope; not done yet. At one point they told me that if they don't get it done three more business days later; they will give me a refund. Yesterday, we went and asked them we need the phone unlocked now. The girl working called the guy who does it and told her to tell me that we have to come tomorrow (as in today). Guess what? It's not unlocked yet. And we asked for the refund and they said "oh it's already in the server and we can't stop it so no refund." And now they tell me to wait longer; and it can happen anytime. Extremely disappointed and angry with this customer service. It was their job to contact me saying it is not ready yet; wasting the trip to their shop.

not as bad as microsoft.
"When i updated it updated to a newer tech preview and expired because it wouldnt allow me to update to the real windows 10"
"sorry about that sir, we'll see..."​
"WAIT WAIT! I got it to boot up, i changed the date in the BIOS"
"Its starting"
"I cant update, it wont connect to the server"

"okay yes. this is because of your incorrect date and time"​
"okay, what can i do about that?"
"okay let me see what i can do for you..."​
Puts me on hold for 25 minutes.​
"Okay nothing turned up"
"there may be one thing for you"
"But first you must subscribe to our customer service"​
"god this again?"
"yes, yoou must pay us $99..."​
"HOLD ON!"
"okay"
"i undertsand"
"Your defective software broke my $1500 computer"
"and you want me to pay $100 to sign up for your service"
"for your method that may possibly fix my computer. your search didnt turn up ANYTHING after 25 minutes"
About 3 minutes of silence​
"umm...."
"yes"
"all you have to do is subscribe"
"its a monthly thing, so you pay now and you get all the..."​
"okay"
"ill do it"
"okay, thank you sir"
"ill need your credit card number, please"​
"yes, the number is"
"let me find my card"
"Oh yes."
"4... 6... Your support sucks...."
I hang up​

I was mad enough i remember this. these might not be the exact words, but i know most of the lines are almost exactly what was said. what i said (on the left) is almost word for word. and this is only 1 of many calls i made. one guy eventually looked up my activation key and said it was for windows 8 beta and cant be used for windows 10 (even though i hadnt even gotten to a point where it would check/ask for a key, and had gotten this PC well after 8.1 was released) so at that point, i had done nearly all the work myself except for that one call so i thanked the guy and politely ended the call. i decided to reset my PC using alienware respawn, which saved anything irreplaceable. i called up one more time explained everything that happened, then told the man how much MS support sucks and then i hung up. I am using that computer now.

but your is bad, too. and they have your phone? how long does it take to unlock a phone?

Nope, I have the phone. Look in the iPhone forum in GBAtemp; I've even posted a thread asking how to do it myself; but then I decided to leave it to them for sure. They said "when the time comes, it'll automatically unlock"

With US Cellular they have you dial a phone number or something and it's basically automated. Is that not the case with this?
 
CIAwesome526
i dont think thats how it works... someone has to unlock it. its not something you would just ask siri to do :P

You can do it yourself but i think it need sto be below a certain iOS version. i also think it voids your warranty. im not to sure, i havent used an iphone in a couple years since i realized android was better.

OoooOOOOoooh I see what you want now, I thought you meant "activate." So you're switching carriers and your old one is holding your phone hostage or something along those lines?

Imagine your phone having arms carrying another phone hostage like in the movies. xD

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
