I Don't get it
:?
Thought 2.2 was supposed to be for 1ghz and high phones? If that is not the case why won't the Moment ever be upgraded to 2.2? It has a freaking 800mhz processor.
Re: Both Sprint and Verizon say that their devices are unlocked and can be used on other networks
Really now? The EVO on Verizon, Cricket, etc..??
What about the SPC code Sprint puts in ALL there phones? That doesn't sound "unlocked" to to me.
You either have to get the SPC from Sprint, which is like pulling teeth. or Hack it from the phone. Which is becoming a pain in the ass.
Sprint now even blocks reading the phones memory on Blackberry's were we can't even hack the SPC from it.
Verizon is even getting into the game too with ...
Re: Please...
Pretty sure this is going to Cricket.. They are suppose to be getting an Android phone.
Re: Damn Not one Comment?
Hell, I just wonder when Nashville, TN will get included? Nashville is like a huge hub for business. We have Clearwire (3G) here, but I want Clear (4G).
Re: add your odd customer names here!
During my days at Sprint PCS customer care, I had these to Asian gentlemen call..
Phat Ho
and
Loop Froot (Picture is backwards on a caller-ID.. Froot, Loop)
Re: I hate RadioShack
I would have asked to speak to his supervisor or at least gotten his name and store number and contacted their corporate office and filed a complaint on that racist f**k, and got him fired.
Re: Best Call EVA!!!
ok so was i suppose to go search through endless posts to find that??
Re: bricked my phone
Had no problem installing mine.. Downloaded it from Blackberry App World, and it installed itself after almost 10 minutes of watching the spinning hourglass, then it rebooted and works just fine.
Re: Best Call EVA!!!
At least he doesn't work for RIM, Then he's have a RIM job :)
Re: Serious
umm would that defeat the purpose of bacon bits?
All Alone?
So with these lay-offs, does this mean the Nerdy Verizon guy in the commercial won't be accompanied by all those Verizon employees and be all alone? :lol:
MMS on the Sprint Tour?
Does the Tour for Sprint have REAL MMS? or does it have the same thing they put on the Curve? (Send MMS, but recieve PictureMail link?)
Re: Wasnt a Nickname but a real name
When I used to work Sprint Customer service I had to customers call in with funny names.
Phat Ho -- Yes this was really his name.. He was an Asian guy.
And
Loop Froot -- Picture him calling your home phone and coming up on your caller ID Froot, Loop
Re: See...
Were was your welcome call center located? Mine was in Nashville, TN. We were the first group for Verizon to do them. We were kinda like the "Lets try this out see if it works, and if it does work out the kinks and get working good" group. We even started the Spanish welcome call group too.
Re: sprint welcome call
Ummm AT&T may not do Welcome Calls, but Verizon does. And Verizon has been doing them for a while! It's not like Sprint just came up with the idea.
If they are done properly they can actually benefit the customer. I used to do welcome cals for Verizon. We didn't try to sell services though, thats kinda stupid for a welcome call. Our purpose was to make them feel welcomed and to veirfy there account information and make sure thier ...
Re: Great
Maybe because Verizon decided to go with the Versa instead. plus the the have the Voyager, and the enV and enV2
Re: I probably shouldn't have said this...
actually in a way they do "share" towers. One tower could have multiple carrier broadcasting antennas on them. That is why you see multiple antennas on a lot of towers. They lease space on it.
Re: What an interesting day...
Don't act like you didn't want that $20.
If someone like that is tossin $20 just for directions, i'd be like, "You need a new best friend?" lol
Re: All Customers Lie
Better not have.. I had sent the account to the fraud dept. just in case :) lol
Plus the account was riddled with high priority notes.
Re: All Customers Lie
My story was this:
I used to work for Sprint Customer Care.
The day after 9-11, I had a gentleman call claiming his payment never went through.
He claimed he made this payment real early on the morning of 9-11, before the attack occured.
This man claimed that the Sprint store was in one of the surrounding buildings that collapsed with the towers. His account was riddled with notes from were he had been calling endlessly. He did not have his reciept for ...
Re: Transition from CDMA?
Technology wise you are correct.. but it has been stated that the change to LTE is going to require a complete overhaul of Verizon's network. Which basically means they are going to be running 2 networks for a while until they get everyone migrated over, then they will shut down the CDMA network like Cingular did with TDMA.
Re: Question for anyone who knows?
When I used to work for Sprint Customer Service that is how I explained it to customers and then they were ok with it, or at least understood it better. They would call yelling and complaining about it, and I was like:
"Here's how it works.. We gave you a $150 off on that phone when you signed up for your promise that you would stay with Sprint for at least 2 yrs. You broke that promise and ...
Re: Transition from CDMA?
Also have to think of it this way.
The cost for running two separate networks. I think they will handle it like Cingular did.
Forget the legacy plans. Most of those people are out of contract. and I'm sure Verizon would rather have them on more expensive plans or not have them at all. If Verizon actually WANTs to have plans that cheap for those customer, I doubt it would be too hard for them to make them.
Re: Question for anyone who knows?
I never saw what was so illegal about it or hard to understand. I always looked at it this way:
Sprint gives you $150 instant rebate on a phone for signing a 2 yr contract.
So basically they gave you $150 to stay with their service for 2 yrs. If you break that contract and leave before that 2 yrs is up, then you need to give Sprint their $150 back.. Plain and simple.
Re: Holy crap how do they manage to breathe?
Good Job man! I totally agree with you! This dude was so obviously pulling some kind of scam.
Some of these people on here that actually work for the corporate side of these cell phone service companies do not understand or even KNOW that retailers can not resell a phone thats already been activated, even if it is returned the same day. (Well you can, but it is a LOT of red tape to jump through to get the commission ...
Re: Actually, they would work with another carrier
Verizon sucks! Do you like being a Verizon prisoner? Do you like being told what you can and can't put on your phone?
I have been a customer for Sprint for 7 years now. I enjoy my freedom with Sprint. I can put whatever I want on my phone, I can download from whomever I want.
Re: I think I might lose my job. (kinda long)
Hey are you in Douglasville? Just by your description of were your store is at sounds like you right in Douglasville next to I-20.
Re: phonescoop august giveaway: Nokia N80

Re: What happens to Bob.
yeah really! :lol:
I thought we both said we were over that whole mess.
Oh yeah, did you ever find out what happened to Tiffany?
Re: What happens to Bob.
What you been up to Kat? Email me sometime.. rrwoods@gmail.com
Re: What happens to Bob.
actually thats not true. Bob was so pissed at te devil's customer service skills, that He wrote a letter to God complaining. God's only recourse was to fire the Devil and hire Bob in his place. :D So now Bo runs hell and He is happy because he gets to torture all those poor salesmen. :D
Re: For everyone that uses Asurion
Sure thing man, we'll just go ahead and tell them to "accidently" drop it in the toliet and THEN call you!
Or we can go ahead and break it in half for them.
Dude, honestly I used to work for Asurion too. Stop bitchin about it, and just file the claim as physically damaged and make up an accident.. Thats what we used to do when I worked there.
Re: New Samsung A900M/P?
I think your Samsung Rep is an idiot..
Why would Sprint release a new version of a phone to add "Theme" support?
Theme support is a software feature. The Samsung A900 I believe has FOTA ability. If Sprint wanted to add something to the software of the phone they would just release a software update. It's a lot more cheaper.
Like others have said, and I believe PCSIntel is the site that broke the news on it, but It is suppose to ...
What happens to Bob.
After so many years go by, Bob has finally been banned from every business in his state.
Since Bob has been banned from everything, he has nothing left, not even his house since he was banned from his mortgage company.
Bob also lost his wife and children in the divorce. His wife divorced him because Bob thought that because he has been a loyal husband for 20 years he should be able to get whatever he wants from her whenever he ...
Re: Just a story
Nah, I woulda been -
"Sorry sir, we don't have YOUR phone anymore, we have OUR phone. Remember, you threw it at me, telling me to keep our F'in phone! I decided to sell MY phone to some guy on the street who was looking for one."
Re: Can anyone tell me...
It's possible. The rig could have a repeater on it. the closet landbased tower may be aimed toward the rig and then the repeater on the rig could be re-amplifing the signal.
Re: Oh Yay.....
Well the holiday one is a valid question. Some carries do or used to treat major holidays like N&W minutes.
The other question was just plain stupid like you said.
Re: Ma'am, does that make sense to you?
You know what I would have done then..
Me - "Actually, you know I should really go by policy. I don't wanna get in trouble. You'll need to contact the insurance company and have it replaced. I really shouldn't replace it in-store, cuz I might get in trouble. :D LoL!"
Re: i think i had my dumbest guest....
Here is what I say we all need to do.
Whenever we get these idiot & ignorant customers that are so bad that we post a story about it on here, we should also post that customers name and cell phone number along with the story so we can all call them and call them a dumba$$ all day long. We won't tell them WHY we are calling them dumba$$es so they won't trace it back to the store and ...
Katana Ports?
Rich, what kind of data port did the Katana have? Did it have the standard sanyo port, or a mini USB port like the RAZR.
