Since I will be moving on Sept 1, I notified the phone company so they would transfer my service to the new apartment.
I just got a response from them today saying that they cannot set it up for Sept 1. I'll have to wait until Sept 16! That means over 2 weeks without phone or internet (since my internet is through the phone line)
They say that they need to send a technician to make sure everything is set up properly. I moved a few times before and they never had to do that. So I asked them about it and all they could tell me is that their records indicate that they need to send a technician.
Gee. Thanks. That explains everything!
I wish I could switch to another company but there aren't any. Maybe I should get a cell phone instead but cell phone companies really scare me. I heard too many horror stories of people not being able to get out of a contract no matter what. And pre-paid phone is just insanely expensive.
