Anybody work as an Indirect dealer?
Have a question for you
Re: Cut?
Only can switch so many times....
Re: To my coworker...
Any YouTube footage of this? I'm dying to see it.
Re: Not true
They don't require it anymore
Re: Great idea T-Mobile... Not!
I'm not a fan of it because we only get $2 commission on it. Other prepaid plans pay far more
Re: way to many plans
T-Mobile is the company that is in the middle. They have to compete with the likes of Cricket and MetroPCS while also competiting with sprint at&t and verizon. All these plans are necessary for competiting at a high level.
Re: Why Why Why
yes they do. I would be selling those left and right!!!
Re: Why Why Why
because there aren't any big touchscreen phones that don't have a data requirement.
Re: Gorilla Glass
scratch resistant
Re: Do customers
I can't stand when they ask for the free phone and then asks if it's a good phone... :evil:
The truth of the matter
As a T-mobile employee, as soon as the merger was brought up, we got emails and letters in the mail talking about serverance pay. We are going to experience heavy losses. Jobs WILL be created through the merger, but the NET LOSS of jobs will be far greater.
Re: headline change needed
long time no see... I still feel guilty for stealing your name
Re: YOU REALLY DONT KNOW IF I CHANGED MY PLAN
yes
Re: Go to hell if you want iPhone
No, I'm an employee that gets a 65% discount on new devices :)
It's even worse that....
I work in a T-Mobile store and people ask about the iphone everyday.
"When are you guys going to carry the iphone"
... If I could predict the future, I would have a higher pay grade.
Re: Go to hell if you want iPhone
I certainly don't believe in them. By the time my phone is messed up and is out of the 1 year warranty, I will want something newer.
Re: "Unlimited"
I think he was just laughing at the '' marks that are on the headline.
YOU REALLY DONT KNOW IF I CHANGED MY PLAN
Me: Your contract end date is....
Cust: How is that possible...
Me: Changing your plan to promotional rate plan extends your contract (tmo).
Cust: How do you know I changed my plan, you weren't there. Pull up on your computer and show me.
Me: (trying to figure out how to do pull ups on a computer is rough btw, anyways...) It shows that you changed the plan on this date.
Cust: You are assuming I changed my plan, you don't really know.
Me: /facepalm. I ...
Re: customer care
being recorded is a much bigger scare. Sure, a customer could be psycho and try to attack me but the probability is scarce. I've been in wireless for about 3 years and haven't been attacked once (unless you count verbally). I have hung up on customers, called them childish, and had shouting matches. But at the end of the day, when my manager asks me about it, I can choose to say I didn't do it and nobody knows.
Re: STORE REPS
I've worked in wireless retail for the last 4 years and people still do that. Although all reps don't, I do understand your frustration because it happens way too often.
Re: My thoughts on the merger..
I should be on the clock to read that. That was a book
I wish that
They would add this part to the commercials
Re: Oh wow...
:lol:
Re: Interesting...
No clue but I agree this is very interesting. Especially with the release of a 4G blackberry, I want to see how this develops.
Wonder if they fixed those GPS issues
:?
Re: I love ya T-Mobile but man these plans can by cryptic...
They also have the "classic" plans which are the basic, get phone discout pay XX amount for your bill, and done.
Re: Will this even matter?
But I think what he was referring to was the fact that it's always been a "service agreement". On the even more plus, customers still signed saying that they would pay the certain amount for so many months. A service agreement is a contract.
The reason for a contract now is because customers are saving so much money, if people switch to these plans, they will be getting a lower MRC. If they aren't buying any phones, this is a ...

Re: Battery life and task killer

Re: Battery life and task killer
what is so bad about task killers? I think the concept itself isn't as harmful as people say, just the method that people use them. For example, I open the browser. Then I use task killer to close the browser. The phone can handle that without damage.
Now when people are using the auto-kill when the screen is locked or they are killing certain apps (like voicemail; which in turn temporarily kicks you off the network), then I can ...
Here's the TRUTH of the matter
When politicians position things such as this, they don't really expect the idea to come into fruition. They want to bolster an alternative viewpoint that will seem more approachable by conveying an extreme.
Seriously, blocking technology sounds very dangerous if something goes wrong. Also it sounds very expensive to implement and the payoff isn't foreseeably worth it. In addition, what about passengers in a vehicle? They aren't even driving and have to be punished? Noooooooo.
The idea here is for ...
The biggest thing the FCC is missing is
The fact that the carriers are already doing things about this that result in better solutions.
Sending a text message to someone isn't going to stop them from acquiring overages.
The carriers have prepaid plans and are now implementing prepaid data plans. With prepaid, customers can't have $1000 bills unexpectedely. This is a better alternative then sending a text message that may or may not do anything at all.
Re: Because God help us if we were just responsible...
But the problem comes when the carriers perform what I called an "implied agreement". Which means that if company X agrees not to perform an action, then company Y won't perform it either. If the carriers agree not to send such notices (like the extra notices for overages, then the oligarchy is getting extra money from unexpecting customers.
I'm not saying that it's right to do that, just saying that one carrier won't voluntarily do this if it's agreed that ...
Re: ZOMG NOT ANOTHER REGULATION!
Hmmmm, you can check your minutes/usage from your phone. From your computer. From customer care. From a retail location. From an indirect dealer. From a bill that's sent out. Yet that's not enough???
If i'm speeding in my car, I don't get a text message or alert saying that I'm speeding. So that was a horrible comparison

Re: What pisses you off the most about call center/store reps [flame on]
Most of the time, we are talking about a completely different employee base. For example, some of our customer care is outsourced, and none of the outsourced reps are here on phonescoop. I will likely never have anyone on phonescoop answer the phone when i call into care, and vice versa. Yet, everyone wants to complain and bash each other. The guy before you made a valid point. I don't see anything this bad in any other industry.

For a branded name of android devices that were supposed to be "speacial" for t-mobile; blockquote>
did you put "speacial" in parenthesis to indicate that you didn't know how to spell it correctly? :?
Re: These guys are going to rake in hundreds of dollars with this!!!
I usually agree with most of your posts but not on this one. Blackberries push email is excellent and gmail isn't better. The speakerphone on blackberries are better than most other phones. The security is a huge factor. Do you remember that phonescoop article that said an app that was downloaded from android sent over 1 million peoples IMEI and SIM card numbers to some foreign company? I've never seen anything like that with blackberry.
I love android, but blackberry ...
