So I figured out why the Cingular web site sucks so bad - it's simple really, if I had spent 10 seconds analyzing the symptoms. I use Firefox, and the wretched Cingular site, a collection of javascripts, mostly, is so IE-centric that on Mozilla it doubles up on itself like a dog trying to throw up a basketball. (This metaphor revised from the original Southern version, which is much more graphic.)
I am reasonably certain that this situation is unremediable, and that the Cingular webwraiths will not spend one millisecond thinking about trying to get their site standards-conformant. Why bother? The whole world uses IE, right?
So maybe I was hasty in deciding to switch to T-Mobile, perhaps Cingular deserves my business for two more years.
I looked at my bill today. Twenty dollars in overage charges, calls I don't even remember making, plus eight-fifty in messaging charges.
Bye bye Cingular. Hello T-Mobile.
