Best and worst of Customer Experience

Within the last 24 hours, I have had a great and a not so great digital customer experience. The great was a helpful email from AT&T. My iPhone4 met it's demise on a tile bathroom floor Thursday evening and Friday morning found me with a shiny new iPhone 5S.

A few days later (could have been sooner), I got a helpful email. It started with this "hey, we know you and thanks for your business" type of message which I appreciate.


The email continued with some helpful suggestions on where to go for more information. The only frustrating part was that I didn't remember my password and they use those absurd questions such as "your childhood best friend" - which I failed. I KNOW my childhood best friend but did I use her first name or first and last? It is case sensitive? Whatever the answer, I never did get it right and had to do a full password reset. Sigh.  

My contacts were transferred and my voicemail is set, but I appreciate that they wanted to get me started. Again, my only issue is that this was a almost 4 days after I bought the phone.
