iWireless

Just wanted to say, y'all are in for a treat. See, I work for a third-party retailer for this joyful little company called iWireless. They're a regional carrier here in the good ol' western Illinois/eastern Iowa area. They are a T-Mobile affiliate and a CRAPPY one at that, if T-Mobile's network is anywhere near as bad as IWS, I don't see how they stay in business. Anyways, this company's bread and butter is a plan called MEGAtalk, wherein you pay $46.17 a month for unlimited calls within a local area. This wouldn't be so bad except they offer it as a PREPAID service as well as a contract option, so I get the joy of dealing with these mongoloid idiots who just don't understand anything about cell phones, but think they know more than I about ...

Anyone have any experience with Wirelessimports.com?

I just purchased a Nokia 6630 through them and I`m extremely disappointed. The box was has wear and tear that wouldn`t have been caused by shipping, a clear indication of pre-usage. It didn`t come with a warranty certificate, just Italian User manuals and CD. The phone also has the Italian carrier TIM`s logo on front and back (which I wouldn`t mind but seems like this phone was a display model.)

I`m not happy, I asked them for a full refund but we`ll see. Anyone else have similar experiences with them? I`m going to dispute with my credit card company as a last resort.

Something for Nothing

Yeah, it's time for another one of these threads.

An old guy came up and wanted to upgrade his AT&T phone and change rate plans, so I told him about how he could migrate. Things were going well, we settled on a phone and everything, and then he asked me about a car charger.

I told him how much it is, and he said he wanted me to throw it in for free. I told him that I couldn't and explained to him that the company needs to be profitable in order to maintain and build our network, etc. I didn't think to tell him about he was getting a $180 phone for free, but probably should have said something about that too.

He told me that he'd be paying $720 over the two years (on a $29.99 plan). So I had to expain gross versus net. 🙄

code for cingular

I'm a cingular wireless agent and we were told today of a new unlimited media internet package for 4.99 a month. Maybe its me, but this person said it was out for two months now, so how come I haven't heard of it? I called customer service, and they didn't even know what the heck it was. Does anybody know anything?

Tracking System?

How do you keep track of who you have talked with? Do you keep a log of all of your transactions to make sure you are being paid properly? Do you know if someone "steals" your sell?

Verizon discontinues longer boom headset?

I'm a very satisfied Verizon customer but I have one very stern complaint regarding their headphone selection; I understand that this is not a place to bitch about a company, nor do I expect an answer from anyone reading this board. But here goes:

I live in the DC area and travel to NY a lot. These two areas both have laws against non-hands-free talking on a mobile phone. My headset of choice (for sound quality and comfort) was (and still is) the Verizon-branded long boom style headset with the large Jabra eargel attachment. It kind-of looks like a very large sewing needle, with a long slender hole down the middle. It's dark charcoal grey color and comes with 6 different earbuds of various sizes.

However, Verizon has discontinue...

Anyone else bored?

Is it just my store, or is today the most boring day ever? In the five hours I've been here, only one person has walked through the front door! I feel like dialing 911 and saying I'm being robbed just to get some company!! What do all of you people do at work when you are bored?

Need Opinions From Cingular/SunCom Sales Reps & 3rd Party Dealers

Hi,
You all may know me from such threads as "OH MY GOD CINGULARS CUSTOMERS SERVICE IS HORRIBLE", "Sell Me To Cingular", and also "Keep Me With Verizon." Well yesterday I decided to jump on the GSM wagon for the heck of it because I was at the end of my VZW contract and I was bored (Yeah I know Im a big hypocrite). So I signed a 1 year deal with SunCom (soon to be Cingular March 1st) and picked up the UnPlan and the SE T637. I have to throw in that the voice clarity on my SunCom phone has been better then my VZW v710, but thats another thread that I dont want to start. But anyway, while I was talking with the SunCom store manager she offered me a job. Now they will turn into Cingular March 1st so business will boom then. Well last week I s...

What I do at work

Of the 9 hours I spend at work most of them are spent just staring at the wall. If I am tired enough I will be able to sleep in these chairs that were made specifically NOT for sleeping. When I figure it all out I have been in the building for 6 hours and I have done 2 hours and 40 minuites of actually work. The funny thing is this was an average day. On a slow day I may work something closer to one hour of work for 11 hours of the day I spent on work (an hour driving, 30 minuites getting ready, 30 getting unready and 9 in the hole). You know for having such a small amount of time on this planet my company is not very efficient about this.
