Re: Torn on decision...
Thanks, reporting back:
Went to the vzw retail store yesterday evening and was not at all impressed with the help or service we got there. First we weren't even greeted for about 20 minutes, then the girl that did end up helping us...well, you could see the chipper friendly smile go away when we told her what was going on and she gave us the "I don't give a hoot because this isn't a new sale" treatment attitude the whole ...
Torn on decision...
Hey all, I apologize if this subject has already been covered (I'm sure it has), but I haven't been around this forum in quite some time. I am just looking for some opinions or perhaps a personal experience; I know it comes down to my choice and all but I've really reached a point that I want to hear from some "real" people and perhaps some words of guidance. I've always gotten good help in the past from here, ...
all I have to say is I'm glad I'm a verizon customer!
OMG! I've NEVER been treated so badly by a cell phone company!
I have an elderly friend that is moving back from overseas and I'm taking care of some affairs for him including cell phone service. But he wanted his own service etc...So being that he's on a fixed income and doesn't get around a lot any more I set him up with a prepaid unlimited monthly plan. The phone works fine but trying to set it up? 2 ...
Re: new phone! first of many questions???
Thanks!
Actually, I got it to work but very strangely.
Through reading more droid forums, etc...found out it has to be set up in manual mode using imap format and will not work at all, even after setting it up if you're connected to a wireless network. strange :roll: The yahoo mail and yahoo IM widget will work regardless but not the email function/sync. Gmail works fine...no issues with it at all...
So far I'm absolutely thrilled with this phone, ...
new phone! first of many questions???
Ok I finally bit the bullet and made a decision and ended up with the moto droid today!! I LOVE this device!
However, as I'm getting used to it I have found my first problem and thus question...
To those who have perhaps answered this a thousand times I apologize but maybe once more won't hurt?
I downloaded the widget for yahoo/yahoo IM and they both work fine. However, the preinstalled "email" widget theoretically should allow my yahoo e-mail account to be ...
Re: How well does this thing actually make and receive calls?
Well, as far as apps go, I'm really not a big gamer at all. I think the last game console I owned was a sega genesis! (Of course my mommy loved me and got me a first generation nintendo, too! I was quite impressed with my brothers atari, too! oh...those were the days lol)
Anyway...I'm not a business guru either, so any of the commerce and trade apps would be probably not be on my device.
I am however ...
Re: How well does this thing actually make and receive calls?
would this be an appropriate time to say "girls, girls you're both pretty" ? :D
btw I'm just dropping in because it's just about upgrade time...and the choices are making my head spin. any suggestions? I really like and want the iphone but in my area at&t service is not the greatest and doesn't work at work at all...and I'm quite happy with verizon...how is the andriod market (like apps) compared to the iphone apps?
Re: Will iphone get flash with OS update ????
hey cut me a break brother!
it was 3am and I was just trying to be helpful! No need to call someone names!
Wow...so hateful!
Re: What a CON...........TRACT
Thanks guys for all the helpful tips, advise and other options and angles to look at! :)
Well, luckily I still have a little time lol...I never thought of skype or a google number. Did I hear somewhere that there's an app that allows iphone to have 2 phone numbers as well? Or is that it?
Re: Will iphone get flash with OS update ????
go look at quirky.com and look for the "beamer". it's not officially on the market yet, it's still having some "bugs worked out" and some finishing touched put on it, but it's supposed to be this uber-slim case for the iphone that has a built in flash. comes in a lot of different colors etc...looks pretty snazzy...I pre ordered one for my friends iphone for his bday...they're $38, I think? plus tax and shipping...just an idea...I have no idea ...
Re: Congrats to your success.
So it's 3am, and I'm at work. Of all the things I have to do, I find myself sitting at the desk in from of the computer pondering and found myself back on this site after quite a while absent; where once upon a time I was very versed and involved. (Having spent my time working for this industry as many of you have)
I couldn't help but read this last post, WernerCD, and chuckle. That obviously took some time ...
Re: funny things customers say
if we were divulging information such as names, cities, numbers etc...that might be a little different when talking about people in terms of confidentiality.
Is there really that much harm in a bunch of cell phone guru's who have or have had this business in common to vent, and share funny stories they know the other(s) would appreciate?
Re: funny things customers say
One time back in my call center days in a land far far away...well at least on the south side...
I got a call from a sweet little old lady who just wanted to ask some questions about her phone and how to do a few things on it...
She was just so nice, constantly using terms of endearment, complimenting me on my demeanor and ability to help...
Then from out of nowhere she let's out this blood curdling shreek!
I said "ma'am ...

Picture this. Let's say that you moved to Russia. You speak russian very well. Your phone breaks. You call customer service. They have the option for speaking to a rep who speaks english. What would you do?
do it in russian or else have secret visitors visiting.

Re: Not happy with VZW
May I suggest doing this:
Sprint, Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile WHATEVER...it all works great.
it'll take a little bit of effort on your part but once you're all set up it will be well worth it.
go to myxertones.com.
sign up for a FREE account.
enjoy searching through thousands of ringtones, pictures and games etc...
with vzw, you CANNOT send tones, etc...directly to your phone.
open a special folder on your computer where you would put all that stuff. the site will ask you to ...
Re: racist customers
Wow...some very good points brought up on both sides.
My brother married into a family from Peru...and I mean straight from there, not just descended. Our families did not mix well for the longest time due to cultural differences. My sister-in-law, spanish speaking, learned english over the course of several months watching movies and with the help of her little niece who was already here. So, it is not entirely impossible for someone to learn english in a relitively ...

Re: New Verizon Family Plan w/ Data
I feel your pain, man.
It's a tough decision. I have been a Sprint customer for 5 years and just switched to verizon. As far as service with Sprint, they certainly aren't a "ford"; at least not in my area. The service has been overall very dependable, customer service has improved a lot and they as well have some pro's as well with their con's. True, the "simply unlimited" plan with sprint is $99 per line, which beats the ...

Another voyager question...
Howdy everybody,
It looks like I'm going to be sticking with verizon.
I traded the boulder for the voyager last week and so far I absolutely love it; but I can't seem to find answers to a question or three. Can anyone help?
1) is there a way to use speakerphone without it having to be open?
2) is there a way to retrieve data from a mini-sd card that was used with my old sprint phone, or is that data in ...
Re: WOW
picked up the bodyglove case and screen protectors while there!
:D
WOW
Ok guys
I think I may be staying with VZW...I just couldn't stand the boulder another day so I went to the store today and the sweetest lady helped me, even though she didn't have to. (I got my phone online)
She helped me pick out a new phone (different model) only charged me for the difference and transferred everything over to it from my old Sprint phone...GREAT in-store experience!
I got the LG Voyager...WOW! what a KICK $#& phone! I'm lovin ...
Re: READ..!!
Yeah, my second line is staying with Sprint for the time being no matter what. I'll move it to the basic plan if I choose to keep my main line with verizon. It's still under contract for another year...it was one of those deals where my last phone met the river like a few weeks after I got it lol. So, I went to the sprint store and they told me their suggestion for me would be to activate ...

Another friend of mine just switched to verizon...he was with t-mobile for a few years and just had it with them so then he changed to cricket...that lasted like a month before he practically threw his phone in the garbage (heck maybe he did lol)...So I was talking to him last night mobile-mobile and he said I sounded crystal clear...he ...
Re: Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
I think it's 15% discount through work with sprint...same as verizon, but I get a 25% discount on all accessory orders with verizon and A LOT better phone pricing...but I'm with wyndham worldwide corporation if u can see something I cant??
Re: Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
lol thanks bud I really appreciate all your advice and help...
it's a really difficult choice!
well I'm on one of the old fair/flex plans. with my plan, I have unl txt/pix/power vision (I think they call it media pack??)
I do have a second line, but it's never used. each add'l feature on my primary line has a seperate charge. my secondary line only has 300 sms. but it's also an additional charge.
with the vzw plan I signed up ...
Re: Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
the last moto I had was the v300 back when I worked for T-Mobile lol...it was a POS! my roommate still uses a v180 and it's as shiny and in as good of shape as when it was new lol...he's with T-mobile
Re: Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
That's not too much of an issue...
my sprint bill runs me $105/mo. That's after a $15 loyalty credit every month and a 15% discount as a retention credit when I talked about cancelling to a csr a few month's ago for this same reason.
my verizon plan I signed up for will be $111 before taxes with my employer discount.
I like the fact that verizon wireless bundles their plans where multiple lines can share all the features where ...
Re: Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
yeah lol let's stay away from the razr. but besides that I tried to get equipment protection with my last upgrade...and at the time I signed up and it hasn't gone through either time lol. oh I've looked for another 8400 on ebay and amazon etc...it's just an all around awesome phone.
on the phonescoop review the v950 says nextel on it but says cdma 850/1900...?
what is sprint doing with it's iden network?
the 8400 has ptt but ...
Re: Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
I don't see them on the website or as available for an upgrade to my account??
To be honest I don't have a real NEED for tv, or much internet browsing on my phone. It's just something I piddle around with if I'm bored. I also use operamini on my sanyo which is absolutely awesome. but again, it's just an extra...not a necessity. it just kind of urks me sprint can, and verizon can't...simply for the reason they don't ...
Stuck between Verizon and Sprint...
Howdy all :)
I really hope that I may be able to get some good advice (preferably unbiased lol).
Here's my deal (I posted a similar thread on the verizon forum): I have been a content sprint customer for going on 5 years. In the last several months, my phone has been getting pretty tore up (in large part due to me). For the last almost 2 years, I've been using the sanyo scp 8400. It has been a durable, dependable ...
Re: new service dissapointed
Hey-if you're talkin to me; yeah :) it's been a while, and I've been outta the cell phone biz...hows it hangin?
new service dissapointment???
Hello all, this is my first time back to this site in a while, and I was wondering if anyone out there had any words of wisdom for me at this point. I've been a content Sprint customer for the last 5 years. I have been using the Sanyo scp 8400 for the last 2, and it's on it's last leg. It has been a great phone, has proved durable, reliable and I've rarely found myself without coverage. Sprint ...

question on data/download
Hey all--just got a new samsung A920...So far, so good, I can't believe how good the sound quality is on it...just amazing!
Well, I may have gotten a bit rusty, but can anyone help me? The rep at the store said it's fairly easy, but I'm having a hard time...The phone came with a 32mb transflash card and sd adaptor with usb cable (no software). I want to be able to compress some of my music files into a ...

Re: Good people of SPRINT
Well for me:
customer service has been very good, and I've never had a problem with my bill...at least not yet...I hope I don't lol.
Option of nights starting at 6pm helps greatly even though it's $10 extra per month.
If you have more than one line and have optional features like text, vision etc...it's only a partial charge for the second line, not the full cost.
You can actually switch the roaming profile on both sprint phones and verizon ...
Re: Hi I'm new and have some questions
Last I knew, using either the Treo 600 or 650 was not a big problem with T-Mobile service. There are several types of service you can use if I'm still correct. I used to work for T-Mobile wireless data, however, I don't know if things have changed or not but this is how it was about 6 months ago.....
The sidekick and Blackberry(ies) are the only two devices that require a specific service due to their functionality is dependant upon ...
Re: Two Year Agreements coming for new customers
Now, it's been several months since I've worked there, however I was there when the 2 year contract option started rolling out. At that time at least, it was an option, not a requirement. (For better phone pricing, etc...) Will it still be like that? Both verizon and cingular (not sure about sprint)offer 1 and 2 year contracts, and it is the customers choice.
