You would think people get paid by Apple to defend them at all costs, it doesn't matter what was said, how you were treated, to the apple fanboy the customer is always wrong, at fault, and should apologize immediately.
Anyway, to the OP.....ALWAYS get a name. When a rep says they could do something, know who they are and hold them to it, and if you waste the gas to go only to find out they can't, ask very specifically for the reason why you were told one thing and they do something different. Sometimes you might not like the answer they give, but at least you would know for the future.
Good luck.
you must be jokeing
take a name? why, how do you know if he gives you his right name?
do you know how many times i called att and say hey i just talked to patric, and the answer is we don't have patric here,
so don't waiest your time on things that you can't control.
