Re: Tour dates
hahaha, nice, I was wondering when it was coming out tho too, just went through my 3rd Blackberry Pearl. Screen just randomly stopped working an hour ago on this one...it's about time for a change in phones, maybe one that will work.
EVDO
EVDO service has evidently been turned on in Iowa, several reports of it working from across the state....
Re: the rebate form for this quarter
So I see under blackberry an 8120....the 8120 is the GSM Pearl so I'm guessing it's a typo and actually the 8220 (Pearl Flip)? Also I'm unable to find any info on the Samsung smartphone I220...
Re: Possible?
logicaly yes, very possible....will USC do it...that i don't know, call a store, perferibly not an agent as it seems things get a little more fuzzy with them....call and see what they say tho.
Re: Nokia 6265
this stinks for me now too....I finally found a store that had one...granted it was preowned and I was buying in the middle of a contract so that was more of a plus for me, so I drove a hour to get it. They found out when I got there it didn't have a batery cover but they would attempt to get one and send it to me...I said okay, well I woke up today and my friends ...
Re: New Version of Easyedge?
from what I was told and seen so far it's only on the V3M and supposedly it's only going to be for the EVDO abled phones
Re: New Version of Easyedge?
yeah...it's allready on the V3M's....none of the others tho...upgrade for those likely sometime next year....
Re: KRZR price drop after Nov. 19??
10 bucks a month for a 80 dollar rebate....that'd be 30 bucks since you only have to have it for 3 months and then you can cancel...your still coming out ahead...
Re: when is uscc gonna get real internet???
Read back through some of the posts about this...fyi, midwest wireless is owned by Alltel...
Re: All of you better be careful....
yeah seriously....some people just need to get a life...
Re: I have seen the light!! E911 Policy
supposedly they get reverted back to their previous contract, I find it funny that USC changed their tune no more than our investigative department at the TV station I work for got wind of this story....USC quickly said everyone would get 5 dollar credits, new phones, and would not have to sign a new contract...
Re: I have seen the light!! E911 Policy
How about towers in the middle of markets that are "covered" I'm sure it would make about 250 customers that live in my town very happy!....
Re: KX5 Slider?
This phone is much more designed after the koi and not the slider...it's basicly a koi that slides open instead of a switchblade...
Re: KX5 Slider?
Yeah...it's only been in testing now since last summer....
9 Hours....
Woke up this morning to unexpectedly not have service on my phone....ended up finding out it wasn't just me but also the eastern half of Iowa...SW Wisconsin...and NW Illinois. More on the story at http://www.kwwl.com/Global/story.asp?S=436816 9
Re: Any New Speed Talk Phones on the Way
The Nokia 6155i is speedtalk compatible...and it has a camera and mp3 player!
Re: IM Forwarding
AOL claims to have it but they really don't, this has been a ongoing issue with AOL and USC, AOL blames it on USC but USC hasn't changed anything like AOL tries to say. If you search on the howardforums site theres several threads reguarding this issue...
Re: 5 Kyocera's in Testing
Nice phone, works good for the most part, service has droped a little since I first got it but I've yet to have a phone that hasn't had that problem yet. Also the area of Iowa I live in doesn't help a lot either.
Re: 5 Kyocera's in Testing
Yep....I'm still using the koi....
Re: Nokia 3155/ Kyo- dorado
I hope USC considers adding they kyo slider remix
Re: Nokia 62551....Weeks turn into months, months turn into......
Honestly what the hell is the point of you doing this every week, it's not going to affect the fact that the phone is coming out or not, welcome to the world of technology. The fact here is, if this phone was out right now I'm sure you would be complaining about it in some way because something on it is dumb or something isn't operating correctly....why would that be....well reason number one would more than likely be: ...
Re: The Signal Insurance
Signal is decent....I've had better experiences with cell phone insurance...It took them 2 and a half months to get me my replacement phone, and when they finaly got it to me, the button on the side of the phone was broke off of it, sent it back, and now it's been about a month again and still waiting for a replacement so it's obvious that their "efficient working" is true in some cases and false in others.
Re: $9.95 Easyedge?!?!
Honestly in the long run once this comes out it'll probably be something stupid just like easy edge in general, yeah it's nice to have but I'm really sick of the hole nickle and dimeing us to death.
Re: new promo
Not to sure, we just got another comercial spot dubed to our comercial system today that came in the mail from them different from the rest thats the same deal with unlimited n&w starting at 5pm....
Re: new promo
discontinued...? I don't think so, it's still on their site, saw signs up in stores, and we are still running their promo for it on our tv station....
Actualy Iwireless honestly isn't all that bad, after comparing cingulars tower setup it's nearly the same. Not taking their side here but if your one of those people that stays in big cities and takes the straight roads inbetween, you won't have a problem with their service at all.
Re: new promo
Hopefully USC will reconsider how their doing nights and weekends, I wirelss is making a killing off their new promo in iowa right now, even tho they suck there are A LOT of people switching to them, their add states, nights and weekend minutes that start at 5pm and unlimited minutes that are always free that you don't have to pay 4.95 for.
Re: USCC 2005 Possibilites
If it's anything like what the new version of kodiak's ptt is, then it will be awesome, their new version of ptt is much more like a Instant Messenger type setup showing you on screen if someone is avaliable to talk to and if not you can leave a ptt voice message, just the thought makes you not want to hate ptt quite as much.
Re: PTT?
The hint I was givin is that it's no longer going to be what your phone can do, but what US Cellular can do for your phone. Doesn't really help all that much but it's something to think about.
Re: PTT?
I've heard from a reliable source that something big is coming out in may that will make people who switched from USC to another company to wish they never did. Not sure what it is as far as anything though. I'm doubting it's PTT since they said it's something no other carrier has or has ever done.
Re: New spectrum
Once again, note that St. Louis was bought nearly a year ago and towers are virtualy all online so you can actualy pull service in St. Louis and not be charged roaming if your on the local plan.
Re: 6100
Reread my post, I NEVER said USC had the 710 out before verizon, I stated they issued a PROBLEM FREE v710 before any other carrier...as verizon's 710 is still having problems....as for the koi...nope dude, I kept waiting to see it at usc and was told they had it at verizon, went there, didn't have it either...
Re: New Markets Bought
St. Louis was bought a longgg time ago dude, I belive over a year now, St. Louis towers are allready online and live, we look to be opening retail to the area in a few months or so.
Re: 6100
One or two years....lets keep in mind we released a problem free v710 before any other carrier....yes verizon may of had it out 2 months sooner but whos phone actualy has bluetooth that works and a camera with no problems, also who was first to start seling the koi? thats right USC, by a few days sooner than verizon... maybe USC was behind in the past but recently they have been way ahead of the curve...
Re: rumor of alltell, western wireless,U.S. cell merger!!
But as we all have heard hundreds of times, it would remain as US Cellular due to the fact that they have the largest company due to TDS.
Re: Best RF vs best battery life
Best RF has many variables, one of the biggest happens to be location, some phones work better in location A and then some of the phones that are the worst in location A may be the best in Location B. Here in eastern Iowa the phone that gets the best RF over all has been the Kyocera Koi. Batery life is very good with this kyocera as well.
Re: USCC Phones Reviews. USCC IS THE BEST!!
Yes the koi is a very nice phone as I have it but it does have many software flaws such as the lights only feature not working.
Re: kyocera koi kx2 vs. LG VX7000
the koi is not the same old kyocera operating system like I've read many reviews thinking it would be, it's much better, LG is the ones that have a very boring OS, have seen some bugs in it to while looking at images it likes to cut parts of pictures and text off and occasionaly freeze the phone up. The koi would definatly be a better choice though if you are looking for good picture taking as you ...
Re: kyocera koi kx2 vs. LG VX7000
The koi would have much better image quality since it's a 1.2 mega pixel camera. I've seen the 7000 and it seems like a nice flip phone but the koi has many more features than it overall, the ability to answer a call when the phone is closed is just awesome and also when wearing a headset a voice asks do you want to answer the incoming call, yes or no and it answers it. Very pimp.
Re: full price
199.99 at USC with a 2 year contract plus a 30 dollar mailin rebate.
Re: Soon!
And you would be located where?
