T-Mobile customer service( or the lack thereof) and coverage sucks!!!
I finally have been awakened by my blogging hiatus. By the most horrible customer service I have encountered in years - from T-Mobile. And to think that they have pretty much the worst coverage as well. Here is the dope. I got a t-mobile smart-phone from Chicago last year. Since I got a new number, the plan also provided for a new free phone for my wife. Guess what- she did not get the phone for 3-4 months and I had to make several calls before she got her phone. Now we put that problem behind us and continued sticking with t-mobile even though there was absolutely no coverage at school. T-Mobile has brought over Suncom and the coverage improved marginally in the area - but still there was NO COVERAGE IN SCHOOL!! Things came to a head when I realized that I have been missing recruiter calls and potential job opportunities because of t-mobile's bad network. Therefore, I called them up to cancel it but guess what - they put the blame on me for not trying to use the school-provided wi-fi to try and get a better reception- WOW!!! Their point was - you know what, you have to pay us $400 to cancel since you are on contract - even though you do not receive calls in the building where you spend most of your time in. They say, you should use your schools Wi-Fi to connect and get better coverage. I do not get their point. I do not get the service I pay for. And they expect me to connect to a resource they don't provide to get better coverage? Can I sue or complain at consumer court? Can someone help/advise here?

The way things stand.....
Long time since I have posted. Sorry about that. The Paw was busy finding a job and getting good grades. Result - Decent grades. No job. So here's how it works in Fuqua.
1. Term 0 - GIE and LEO start in August. 2 courses. Simple enough. Very Enlightening.
2. Term 1 - 4 core courses - Accounting, Economics, Statistics, Management Communications. Tough courses. But tougher still is attending corporate presentations and sucking up to second years because they have a HUGE say in who gets close listed for interviews.
3. Term 2 - 4 core courses - Strategy, Marketing, Corp. Finance, Management Communications II - Easy courses (depending on who you ask). Sucking up and informational interviews with recruiters continue.
Winter Break - Interviews. Informational and otherwise. I had 8 and got 8 dings!! I am a genious.
4. Term 3 - 1 Core Course - Operations. Pick other courses based on interest. I picked Corp Finance II and Market Intelligence. Good courses if you want to be a consultant/Ibanker. More interviews and rejections.
5. Term 4 - All electives. Pick ANY. I picked Investments, Pricing and decision models. No idea how these are gonna turn up.
In the end, no use of an MBA if no job. I need a friggin internship - STAT!!!! If anyone has any idea where I can get a friggin internship, let me know!! Duke MBA with good grades, consulting experience. Will work for experience !!
