Actually, my mailbox (thru SBC Yahoo DSL) has 1.6MB, and I got the same email yesterday! Except when I looked at the little percentage-use bar, it still had the old amount. I was a bit pissed off, so I sent myself a test email and received it, so I just assimed they were fucking around with things. And it turns out they were.
It's not just with Cingular. I had a very similar problem with AT&T Wireless (before the whole merger/buyout started) and it was fixed after about three billing cycles.
What happened was that I got a cell phone, and after a while my parents decided to get cell phones as well, so we switched to a family plan. Or so we thought. We started getting multiple bills with amounts of money owed that made no sense at all. Three times I called and after waiting for about an hour each I was assured that the problem was fixed. They finally stopped screwing with the bills the last cycle, but we still get two extra letters for my parents' cell phones with $0.00 owed.
Personally, I'm not looking forward to the merger. I hate to think how things can get screwed up when transferring information over, especially with my family's screwed up account.
But not all is bad with AWS. My service has been excellent, I have never had a dropped call, and recently they made their "national" plan into a true national, no roaming charges, plan, with free in-network calling.

Without Flash, the great Homestarrunner.com would not exist! Although I'm sure they could find another animation medium...
...the first thing I thought of when I read "Melvill" was, help Mel launch all the rockets, et cetera. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to get all correct-English on this, but I've never heard anyone say "I TiVo'd my favorite show yesterday."
Authors really need to pay attention to what they say.
