A New Sidekick... Hopefully...

i fight with nextel
those cunts gone done me dirty
but not t-mobile

I spoke to Azteca last nite about the condition that my t-mobile Sidekick was in. He told me that his Sidekick was also jacked up and that he was concerned that if he put in a claim thru the insurance he might not get the limited edition black Sidekick that he has presently. He then asked a most absurd question, "Chulo, you do have insurance on your Sidekick, right?" I honestly didn't know, so with kick in hand I dialed 611.

After talking to their rep, we found out that I had fourteen days to activate insurance on my kick, otherwise it was ineligible for the protection. Of course you know I didn't do it -- not because I am cheap, but rather because... well... I'm not quite sure why I didn't get it. Needless to say, it's too late, so why make something out of it? The t-mobile rep did suggest that I do an exchange thru tech. support.

Once I was connected to the tech. department, a funny Indian guy was on the other line, and we tried to troubleshoot the defective Sidekick. Keep in mind, it's not really broken, I'm just due for a new one. I don't want to buy a new handset because the Sidekick III is supposed to be coming out soon, and it would be my luck that after I got a new Sidekick II the next one would be released the day after mine arrived. Indian Techie gave me an order number and instructed me to go to the nearest UPS store for further instructions.

Upon arriving at the UPS store, I gave the woman the order number and my kick and upon receipt she went to work. Five minutes later it was wrapped in bubbles, placed in an envelope and on it's way to the repair depot.

As you read this, my Sidekick is traveling the east coast to its final destination, and hopefully within ten business days I will have a Sidekick that is shiny and new; ready for the challenges that face the President of the Nation of Chulo! Until then, my second home on the internet will be the MyTMobile website. If you need instant gratification, feel free to text message me on my NEXTEL until my kick is back in service.
