you do realize that texting costs the phone company nothing. literally.

This. Obviously they should understand you would have never let this happen looking at your past history. They should have notified you when a number of texts was exceeded.

[nynor]

no kidding!

[nynor]

that works out to what, 600 texts/day?! again, OMG!

edit: 750(!)/day

assuming they are awake for 16hrs/day that is ~45/hour!!!!

Agree. It's a disgusting rort. When you can get plans that give you 8Gb data over the 3G network for $40/month and they still make buckets of money out of you, all the per minute calls and SMS charges are just price gouging. Absolute rort!

Can't complain about my att account, never saw a bill. They did chew an international rep out because he texted his wife several times while in a meeting in Russia. Those texts added up to $4000 bucks American.

We are on Verison now. I can tell any difference, but then again, I basically haven't left the house since the switch either.

The Embassy is part of the problem.

When we first arrived, and even now, we have no credit history, no SSN so we can't get phones. So the Embassy for want of a better word 'sponsors' us on their corporate account, they assist us with getting our phones, setting up the accounts through their corporate account manager. There in lies the problem, as we are from then on not the 'owner' of the account, but are responsible to pay the account, when ever I have tried to contact AT&T they tell me they can't talk to me, as the account is 'owned' by the embassy and I am not one of the people listed on the overarching corporate account, that they can talk to. I should have known I was doomed from the start. So in the last couple of months, when I have not been receiving phone bills, and I have had queries, I have not been getting anywhere, as they just keep bumping me around in AT&T land and I have got know where. Until of course they need to tell me my bill is $9.5K, but even then then didn't phone me, I got a letter, no invoice, no copy of the bills, just a letter.

The war will continue tomorrow.

Time for bed, not sure I will be sleeping much.

Night all.

[nynor]

um.... how do they expect you to pay the bill if they will not speak with you? that seems kinda odd. one cannot expect someone not on the account to pay the bill on their say-so.

Alright! Who was the wanker who thought it was a good idea to load up dunny rolls with crepe paper? There ought to be a law against that.

If it can be torn in a slight breeze, used as filter paper, or for sanding wood, it has no right being any where near a loo!

Thinking about getting these wheels and tires for my 928.



They are 9x18 front and 10.5x18 rear. Have a nearly new set of Pilot Sport Cups mounted and asking price is about the same as the pilot sport cups. I need new tires and this would get me both tires and a set of wide rims.

[Noah930]

Are those Speedlines?

[GH85Carrera]

That just sucks about all the text charges Azzy.

[GH85Carrera]

I have owned my 911 for 16 years. All that time the steering wheel has needed the cover re-stitched. Tonight I pulled the wheel and I will send it to Dallas to get the leather replaced.

[RKDinOKC]

They are BW Motorsports Turbo 3 Piece.

Didn't think Speedlines were bigger than 17in.

[RKDinOKC]

16 years!?! It's about time you got around to it

You can't rush these things Glen


Nice looking wheels Richard

They look good, whatever they are. If a set of four with tires will set you back about the same as a new set of tires, might as well go for those.

Speedlines for the 911 Turbo 3.6 (1994) were 18x8x10. And heavy as schit, which is why I was asking.

THe backside of mine has been frayed for only the 7 years I've owned it. Looks like I've got 9 more years to procrastinate!

[RKDinOKC]

Hard to beat look of the 928 with the wheels I got now...



Thought the wider wheels would be good for some stick autocross tires.
The Pilot Sport Cups are 265 front and 285 rear.
