MERRILL LYNCH-PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH

Recently switched from SaskTel to another cellular phone company. Because I had signed a contract and did not complete the contract I had to pay a tidy sum for the cost of my phone. My account at the time was already closed. When I went to the other cell phone company they informed me I had to get SaskTel to unlock my phone. I returned to ;SaskTel and was told this would be another $50. I wanted to pay in cash, but was told that I needed to have a SaskTel account or to find someone who did in order to pay this $50. If I did not find anyone with a SaskTel account who was willing to put this $50 through, they would not unlock the phone that I had just purchased and now owned!!! SOMETHING IS AMISS>
