AT&T

My wife and I have been AT&T customers for years now. I was ready to switch but my wife wanted to stay. My wife got a new iPhone and a new two year contract. There was no high pressure sales tactics or push to get her on one of their new plans. I showed them the details go another company’s no contract plan. They said they couldn’t beat the price and there was no pushy sales tactics. We walked out of there with a new phone for the wife and I felt comfortable moving on to another company for my plan. Now that they have Direct TV I’ll probably be heading back do I can ditch GCI.

So for years I was a T-​Mobile customer and a big fan of the Blackberry. But well, T-​Mobile isn’t in Alaska, so when I moved up here I made the switch to AT&T and went back to using a regular cell phone. Over the past 6 months or so, I’ve been visiting the AT&T stores around town and toying with the idea of an upgrade back to a smart phone. I noticed that all the AT&T stores are phasing out cell phones altogether and only offering smartphones. They do have a SMALL selection of pay-​as-​you-​go cell phones, but since I get a hefty discount from my employer to get a cell «contract» from AT&T, I realized I was going to have to make the leap back to a smart phone.
I walked into the store having no idea what I was going to get and having done no real research (how very unlike me!) I wasn’t necessarily going to purchase something, just looking. When I asked the salesgal if they had any Blackberries, she politely laughed at me then proceeded to talk to me about products they actually had in stock. At first I balked, but she, in a very not-​pushy way, helped me figure out how to proceed. After patiently answering my questions, giving me her personal opinions and asking me pertinent questions, she figured out exactly what phone would be PERFECT for me. And I absolutlely love it. Good job! No buyers regret at all because she took the time to listen to me and figure out what I wanted. Woo hoo!
I still think it’s lame that AT&T is forcing smart phones on the world, but it is what it is. And now my beautiful Galaxy is GLUED to me. Oh well. It is a match made in heaven, after all.
