ex-Com(GS)municated

The AMEX letter has arrived yesterday with details on where I have to send my damaged Treo to complete the claim. I’ve just dropped the package off a Mailbox etc. on a UPS 2nd Day Air. So now I won’t have a cell phone for at least two weeks. Even the extra old cell phones we have in the apartment don’t help since they are locked to the old AT&T network and now I am with Cingular. Damn those stupid phone locking business! The whole point of GSM is so we can just use our SIM card on any phones in the world but no, these American carriers are too short-sighted to see the advantages and stuck at the revenue models of the mid-90s.
