Standalone GPS and Topographical Mapping Programs
I really want to know how this phone performs as a GPS for the backcountry trails and mountains. Anyone who buys this phone for this purpose should leave comments about their experiences please.
Price
Requires data plan. :cry:
GPS Assisted or Dedicated
One thing about this review it does not specify is whether this is Assisted GPS (Has to have carrier signal) or Dedicated GPS (turn on airplane mode and go into the Wilds).
Re: last customer ...
The last thing I want to do on a hike is talk on a cell phone or have my kids get text messages while I am trying to spend quality time with them.
BTW I love Flogging Molly
Re: why do policies and fees even exsist if a cst can whine and get past them any ways!
Because you as a front line representative are not trusted to make decisions in the companies best interest and are not supposed to know the over all goals of the company are. People who escalate and yell and scream about things get what they want becuase people above you get paid too much to work half as hard as you and it is easier to just bend over and take it. Your job however is to make the pansies ...
Phone Profile Suggestion
Indicate those phones that support Micro SDHC cards in the memory card type category to correctly educate the public that that great 32gb card on sale for $75 won't work in their phone because their phone only supports Micro SD cards.
Re: Keeping dummy phones in their holsters
We use an electric charged system where if they pull the cord that attaches it to the display case too far it sends a mild shock up their arm.
It has one draw back though, we keep having to explain to the cops that it is for theft prevention not to train customers to behave correctly while in a store.
Re: Customer quote of the day...
If you worked at Radio Shack sell them a APU and tell them that would solve all their problems. :twisted:
Song from a Coworker
Killing My Call Time
I heard he dropped his cell phone
I heard it broke in two
He said he had insurance and
I'd know what to do
And then he told his story
Bringing a tear to my eye
Driving crazy with questions
Wasting my life with his words
Killing my call time with his phone
Killing my call time with his phone
Wasting my whole life with his words
Killing my call time with his phone
I emailed him a statement
Told him what to fill out
And when he got ...
Re: Why would he do this? (long)
Inbreeding is what caused this asinine decision.
Re: WHY with the LAST NAMES?!!?
Actually I think it is considered an act of Terrorism which is yes technically a felony but way more serious than assault.
Bob is Resurrected
Bob was walking out of the mall and reached in his pocket for his keys to his Ford Aspire. They weren’t there. Darn mortician that bastard must have stolen his Pimp car. Last thing he remembered about his car was calling Ford financial services and complain about having to finish paying his 72 month loan because he has always owned Ford cars. Low and behold right across the parking lot was Barry Ford. Well he knew he would get ...
Re: I hate corporate...
Why don't you go look it up on the Weather Channel and tell the customer where to find the closest storm?
Re: Call Center Customer Service Reps complain too much.
Um Yea.
Customers lie all the Time and we all know it as a fact.
Or they cut and paste what we say to mean what they want to hear.
Everyone get a clue and don't argue or incite a riot.
BTW I did not read all the posts in this and may be talking out of my derriere.;
Re: antenna strength
If you say that some drunk dumba$$ is going to dip the phone in Schnapps and then where would they be?
Mean People
Does anyone else dis approve of the people on this forum who emotionally and verbally abuse others just to raise their self esteem or make themselves feel better about their day? /;|
Ellie if I was religious I would pray for your family.
That's all I have to say, you know who you are........maybe.
Re: how do you cope with your stressful job?
I go home and drink until my wife is pretty again :twisted: :twisted: ..........Nah I'm really just a drunk. :-)... :-)...
Envision This
First off I am not Racist i just thought this would be funny as it never happened so please no BS responses.
Scene: White collar mall in the middle of a large metropolis. Cricket kiosk sits right in front of a Saxs Fifth Avenue. Me red haired, white as a piece of paper, wearing a faded Men's Warehouse hand-me down suit.
C: Speak any Spanish?

Re: Just Venting
Try switching to Pig Latin and make them think that they have had a stroke or something.
V3A/V3S Warning!!!!!! Cricket especially
If you want video capture the only one of these two phones that is able to do it is the V3A. The V3S is not able to take video on Cricket phones.V3A has Video.........V3S does not.
Re: Stop breaking my slider phones!!!
Hey this sounds like a great way to get a gag gift for my 13 yr old daughter who wants a phone.
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Re: SOOOO SLOW!!! Havent even talked to a customer yet...
That's because Americans are fat lazy people who don't want to walk in a mall farther than the food court.
Re: Any former Call Center reps make the jump to Stores for a different carrier?
I work in Insurance it sucks. You don't get to help anyone and you are tied down by more than policy and procedure. You are roped and doped to a Government Agency approved insurance policy that gives you no room for concessions. Plus you get yelled at when you have to deny a claim because dumb people don't read what they agree to and think that because it is insurance it will cover everything. Even if they take the ...
Re: New Hires
You actually quoted a source that every college proffesor out there would give you an F on any report for using as a source of research. BTW I changed the dates on that article last week.
Re: Need Help!!!
Try all zero's and if it is the subsidy lock code I might be able to help you with that but you would need to email me directly with the ESN.
Stereo Bluetooth Speakers
I am looking for a good speaker system to listen to my Mp3's from my phone while at home. (Without having a bulky Stereo Bluetooth headset on) I would prefer that it is a bluetooth system so I wouldn't have to plug the phone in. Does anyone have any suggestions for a speaker system?

Re: why is it
10-14 weeks 8O 52 weeks in a year it takes 1/5th of a year to get my rebate back. Thanks for talking me out of those offers.
Re: WHO IS HAPPY WITH T-MOBILE?
Customer Service with T-Mobile is great. Reception and Data Services leave something to be desired. If you only want a phone to make calls and play an occasional game and you don't go outside of coverage area much or live/work in a cement bunker/building then T-Mobile would be a great service. If you want to be a power user go with another company.
Re: co-worker issue...

Re: Customer: "I Want to Track my Child."
What if your child has stolen the rent money for your family and has threatened to run away permanently? I would want to track that child down really quick and would use every resource I could come up with.
This is being stated from someone who is currently in a situation where it would be really great if we can track our daughter whenever she runs away/ sneaks out/ threatens suicide etc......
Re: Honest Opinions and Experiences Please
TMobile Best customer service I have experienced on a phone call, hands down. Only friendly people and they are paid fairly well.
Phone choices offered by Tmobile leave a bit to be desired. Hopefully will change when they get their 3g fully rolled out.
TMobile Pink logos incorporated into the phone software is annoying.
Lack of Fast Data services make AT&T more attractive in that regards.
If you want instant gratification in either of the following catagories that could make your decision ...
Reception Problem
I have a question. I have a friend who has a Nextel i760 phone and he is having problems with his signal, dropping calls etc..... I have a Verizon Wireless phone and I know I can call *228 to fix my signal problems. Can my friend do the same with his Nextel?
Re: Insurance
Um Your Wrong.
I have T-Mobile service and I have read the insurance policy front to back and there are things that it does not cover which are very similar to other cell phone insurance policies. I'm not even going to attempt to respond to the Extended Warranties.
Re: Ear piece
I have no problem with the ear piece. However I do not work in a noise filled environment. My fiance did tell me to turn my music down because she didn't want me blowing out my eardrums.
Re: What phones do you have?
I have the Nokia 6263 through T-Mobile. It does what I want it too. For more read my review on the phone.
Re: along the same lines
Insurance providers have different numbers for different carriers the one that ends in 666 is for Sprint Nextel. Makes me wonder what they think about Sprint Nextel's customers.
Re: Something I Never Do - Long even for me
First I would like to say that Nikoletta your posts are always well written and entertaining.
Your request is something that not just anyone has the ability to fulfill so you must get to a person who can make that decision.
I have two options for you one of them is a little underhanded and the second requires a lot of finger work by yourself.
One the representatives that you talk to at a call center are only front line people with ...
Re: AT&T is GREEDY!
Um you know you are posting in a defunct carriers forum right? That means they are no longer in business. Get with the program and blame the new owners or AT&T Wireless AKA Cingular which purchased the marketing power of the AT&T name when they bought them. Also they probably charge you more because it is a more expensive phone so you should make more money to own it. After all the owners of your service provider have ...
Specifics On Markets
Does anyone know if the Portland Market region only includes the metropolitan area or does it extend to the entire state of Oregon or at least the I-5 corridor?
