I have a built-in Lincoln cellular phone that is worthless! I don't remember exactly what it cost on the invoice, but I know it was well over a $500.00 option.
Now that the cellular phone providers are weening us off of the analog technology and into digital, they refuse to activate any new cellular accounts. I've tried all of the local carriers and none of them will activate my phone.
A few days ago, there was a thread from which the author was locked out of his car and wanted to know how to get in without calling a locksmith. I went to my glove box to retrieve a phone number to the Lincoln Commitment hotline. Since then, the thought had occured to me that they may be able to help me to find a solution to our phone dilemma.
I called them back this morning. They gave me a phone number to call for the provider that they have chosen to solve their car phone issues. I called that number and they told me, "Unfortunately, there's nothing that we can do. Lincoln has not committed to update your cellular phone to digital as of this time." I asked them if they kept a database of Mark VIII owners whom called to complain about this, and he replied, "No sir, The Lincoln Commitment hotline will register your complaint for you."
The phone number to the Lincoln Commitment hotline is 800-521-4140.

Make sure that you have your VIN number handy (on your insurance card) as they needed mine.
Maybe if enough of us complain, Lincoln will decide to recall our phones for a digital upgrade. Or maybe it's just a pipe dream............ sigh.
P.S.- While you have them on the phone, complain about the drive shaft and the rear window rubber lasagne.
