Danger account - partially terminated - completely stupid

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.fido (More info?)

Hi,

I've had - and enjoyed using - an HipTop for the past year, but after
breaking it in a very stupid fashion that only me is able of doing so,
I had to stop using it (since buying a new one at 200$ doesn't attract
me since the HipTop 2 is supposed to get out someday.....(well that
would be another topic..); So I called up Fido and tolled them to
remove my 20$ for Internet Access account, without telling them I'd
stop using it or that I broke it;

Minutes later, I could not log on to fidohiptop.ca anymore, hence
preveting me from copying my very worthy to my eyes address book, and
emails. (The thing is, when I first got my hiptop, I didn't even have
the 20$ unlimited internet package - since it didn't exist - and still
I used it (had access to fidohiptop.ca, so I don't like the link they
made, that is terminating my account because I asked to remove an
internet package...)

Now the real thing is: they disabled my access to my account , but
HAVEN'T DISABLED MY EMAIL ADDRESS. In other words, people probably sent
me important emails on that address, but never had feedback saying that
this address does not exsists and so on...

When I figured that out, I called Fido, who called Danger, who finally
told me that it was very normal, and that my address will be up for at
least a year or so, but still I won't be able to access it. They told
that it was the way things were, and that nobody could do anything
about it; which I very much have a problem with. Just remove my account
for god'sake!

Anyways, right now I'm superpissed and don't want to call their US
phone numbers (danger) and be set on hold forever, ending up paying too
much; so I sent them an email but who nows when will that take in
effect...
