I do this, but twice now when I have pointed out differences between what
people said or whatever they blame bad or lack of training or state that
policies have changed. One time at Cingular I said so and so told me this,
she put me on hold, then came back in 10 min and said, I just talked to him
and he says he did not say that, bla bla. Recording the phone conversations
might work, but might not and seems like a lot of trouble. Now I try to
refuse to do anything over the phone, only accepting stuff on paper... (Note
when telemarketers say, "could you just confirm your phone number / address
for me" they are taking that reply as your agreement to something!)

I know - just was trying to make a humorous attempt at staying on topic. I
pay $0.10 each for text messages; what does SMS stand for?
