May 9, 201412 yr They put it on hold cos of the dollar payment taken out, thankfully can use it again, of course himself is bulling with me as he says and you wonder why I don't trust you with my card,Men!!
May 9, 201412 yr Author Y'all I'm really sorry that is happening. I don't know how to fix that. Or I would. If there is any danger of your card getting cancelled, please don't worry about it. We are doing just fine. Not only has his laptop been paid for, but so has 3 (maybe even 4) months of his service. Every one of you are so amazing. I am still in awe how so many people have done this. SueBeDoo coming up with the idea, and everyone responding so quickly. And not just in finances, I have gotten emails on suggestions (which have proved to be very helpful) and support. Money is not the only way to help...... please be aware of that. We are all in this together.

May 9, 201412 yr Next time we do something like this we'll have to remember the folks outside the country may have issues. Maybe get a visa gift card or something with the exact amount you want to spend so it is not connected to your own bank card. I do that with a data account for my daughter. I didn't want to attach it to my own bank account so I purchased a gift card and when she needs more money I just refill the card. My husband called me this morning to ask if I gave money to someone named WTF Jimmy in California? LOL
May 9, 201412 yr Sorry to change the subject slightly, but who on earth is that awesome dog with the toys in his mouth?!
May 10, 201412 yr I really miss our Jimbo. Can't wait for him to get back with us. So exciting he'll be able to be in the evenings too! Has he ever been to a wine party?! Probably not. We need to have one in his honor.
May 12, 201412 yr Author Jimmy has his laptop !!!! AT&T is waiting for him to come in now. And 2 months of service has been paid for already. Thanks to all of y'all on here. I'm gonna keep his gofundme acct open for those that would like to donate for his Internet costs. But remember, 2 months is already covered. We shall see our Jimmy back soon

I pinned this topic to the top of this forum. WTG Tiffany and everybody who helped. Jimmy must be beside himself right now.
May 12, 201412 yr Thats fantastic news, can't wait till pay day so I can put something towards his internet costs, as I said before Tiffany you are a STAR xx
May 13, 201412 yr I'd have loved to have seen his face, and I am looking forward to seeing him again! Don't know how long all of this type of thing takes to do over there...
May 13, 201412 yr Author Don't know how long all of this type of thing takes to do over there... Once he gets to AT&T, it will be immediate connection for him
May 14, 201412 yr Thank you so much Tiff for making this happen! Cannot wait to see our Jimmy back. Miss his PM's so much!
May 14, 201412 yr Jenny, get the wine party organized. Last I talked to Jimmy, he was heading over to AT&T on Thursday, so you better get the invitations sent out!

May 14, 201412 yr Author What about the box? That's what he is picking up on Thursday. The guy that is helping him is off today and tomorrow and will be getting Jimmy the box and setting him up to go online immediately. This guy has gone above and beyond to help me with this. We are going against company policy and they are making an exception for us. Policy is that the primary account holder (which is me) is the one required to pick up any merchandise and they are allowing Jimmy to since I don't live where he does. And they work off commission so since he has done so much to make this happen, I didn't want him to lose his commission if Jimmy goes in earlier. And also I was afraid that if Jimmy did go in and talk to someone else, that person may not realize the full extent of what we are doing and may ruin it.

Tiffany that is excellent all of the work both you and this guy are putting into helping Jimmy out. What I meant to ask about the box was the cost. You previously noted the cost as $129, I think? Was the cost of the box figured into monthly service fee? If not, some of us may want to help you shoulder that cost.

You previously noted the cost as $129, I think? Was the cost of the box figured into monthly service fee? If not, some of us may want to help you shoulder that cost. oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood your question. No the box wasn't 129.00 after all. It's only 99 cents. lol Well, 1.07 with tax. And Jimmy is going to take that up there. I told him to make sure he took a dollar and seven cents. And he said he could do that. When the guy quoted me 129.00, he wasn't looking if I was going to sign a contract With a 2 year contract, it only costs 99 cents. The guy on the phone is the one that quoted me the 129.00 and he didn't know the whole story. The guy in the store is the one that told me that if I sign a contract, we could get it for 99 cents. So we are committed to having Jimmy for 2 freaking years !!! I hope we really wanted him that long. lol And I'm really sorry I didn't clear this up earlier. I forgot I told y'all how much the guy quoted me. But it turned out to be alot better and I guess I just didn't think about it. I was just happy to have gotten it for 1.07$
