Windows CE - In article ,kd1s@nospamplease.verizon.reallynospam.net says... Somehow I'm not listed and I'm not paying for the privilege. My billing records with the RBOC have always been FUBAR, for the first year I had service when I got my place in Providence I never got a phone bill. Even to this day, even though I've changed the number, I'm still not listed. [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Almost the same thing happened to me around 1976. Telco put a phone in for me, outside plant (installation) failed to pass the paperwork along to the accounting people who just assumed my number was still not assigned. Then about a year later, of no telephone bills for that number, some -- well, phreak -- making a long distance call dumped a fraud charge on me, on *that* number. The coin-rated charge came through to accounting, fell out of the system when accounting was unable to attach it to anyone. The charge went into a suspense ledger queue waiting to be investigated and some overworked fraud specialist eventually investigated it. Investigator dialed the number, fully expecting to receive a 'not in service or disconnected' message so they could charge it back to the originating telco and clear one more suspense item from the ledger of same. Instead the number rang. Number in service, but no accounting records. Fraud investigator called outside plant asking what happened to the paperwork. When the bill finally came it was for service for about *one year* from date of install to the present date, plus the usual month in advance, which at that point (in the billing cycle) was about two weeks into the billing period as usual. That stung ... I called the business office to make a sort of pseudo-complaint. My service rep, Miss Prissy agreed to remove the fraud charge which had gotten the whole thing started since it was not mine, but she would not remove the year of service for which I was obligated. "But, Mr. Townson, you *knew* what was happening, and did not correct it." I was not in a position to complain too loudly. PAT]In my case I fought with then Nynex (Or was it New England Telephone,it gets so hard to remember what company was what when.) and calledthem from the line at least twice a month asking where the bill was.By about the 7th month I got a supervisor number and went round andround with her for 5 months. By the time we figured out that plant didindeed forget to send the ppaperwork she and I decided we'd onlycharge for the last 4 months. Worked out quite well.Of course my LD was still screwed up, being billed to VA MedicalCenter Providence. We were both on the same exchange but my number wasNXX-0716 and the VA Hospital number being billed wasNXX-7160. Ooops. That too close to two years to straighten out.
