So I think I just experienced a preview of hell! 1-888-BOOST-4-U Took me 30 minutes to get a rep on the line (pressing zero repeatedly like when calling other customer service numbers DOES NOT WORK! The guy just says "we didn't get that"), FINALLY got the system to transfer me to a human, had to listen to an entire song by an American Idol winner whose voicebox I'd like to rip out, followed by a click and then "If you'd like ...

NBA player. He was the "other guard" on the Orlando Magic when Penny Hardaway & Shaq were there. A very gracious person When I used to work at a restaurant down the street, a famous actor (co-starred in the "Rush Hour" movies with Jackie Chan) would stop in about once a month. His mother was in every few days. Both were very cool, down to earth people.

We've got a Palm Pre on display and a customer "accidentally" put a pin on the phone. Anybody know of a way to hard reset/master clear a Pre without being able to get to the home screen? (Like how with a Treo, you can hold power while inserting the battery...) Thanks!

I got in an argument with a customer yesterday because he was sure that he didn't have any passwords. ANY! Not for his work email, not for his blackberry account, NONE! He also refused to go talk to his IT Dept (the person who set up his email account on the company server AND who set up his blackberry account) to get his login information. I pulled up the blackberry account webpage, requested his PW using the device PIN, opened ...

Custy actually attacked the concrete outside of our store with a sledge-hammer because we told him that he can not return a phone that he dropped in water, even though he was still within his 30-day return period. HONEST-TO-GOD, TRUTH!

Tell her that your contract with (insert carrier here) requires you to charge per minute for the time you talk to a customer. $0.45/min should be plenty to get her to go away...

I down-right REFUSE to help people who do that. I just smile, and say "weren't you the person who I warned about x, y, or z happening?" I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go back to Walmart/send it back to the online people to get it fixed... When they say "But they said to come here", I just keep repeating "I can't help their customers. You'll have to go back to them". If they say "But you're AT&T. You ...

Direct quote from a custy: "I don't want a white phone. It'll get filthy..." Makes me think "What in the #ell are you going to be doing with your phone to get it too dirty to use?" Call me crazy, but I've never found a way to get my PLASTIC phone that dirty... Haven't been able to come up with anything yet other than if you wear a lot of makeup? ...maybe...???

Thanks for the response. Very helpful... IrishCarBomb said: The Fuze and the Tilt are 2 different phones, first off. Obviously they are different devices, however the majority of forums including information regarding hooking the Fuze up to the BB server explain to use the Tilt software, which works only for the Tilt because since AT&T has released the availability, they provide a PIN# to connect with the BB server. However, (as I stated above) since the capability for the Fuze to connect ...

So I got an HTC Fuze, unlocked it, ripped the software and installed new non-AT&T ROM. I'm trying to get some direct push software for instant email notification (like what is available for Blackberry). I know that there is software that it is "supposed to be" available with the new version of software that is available for the Tilt, but since AT&T hasn't officially released the technology for it, the phone is not bringing up the PIN# required to ...

I usually provide them with a copy of their texts. Who they went to and at what time. Then smile at the glaring look that they give their "little princess".

I was half-way listening to the conversation between one of my coworkers and a customer earlier. The custy's phone got turned off today. While she was paying her bill, she mentioned that they should give you some kind of warning before turning it off. My response to her was: "They do. It's called a 'bill'..."

So my co-worker was working with a homosexual female couple for about an hour or so, messing with their account, upgrading 2 phones, etc... After they left, I asked him what he made off of them. He proceded to list off several things (totaling about $50 that he will actually get for it). He concluded his list by saying: "Dude, I just RAPED those lesbians". Under the specific circumstances that he was speaking under, it made what he said HYSTERICAL! but in ...

ikon said: I didn't but it's irrelevant since they all come with free memory cards. Depending on the carrier it's anywhere from 256mb to 2 gigs. I won't specify who I sell but I can assure it trumps your petty 40mb onboard memory. Actually, depending on the carrier and the market, they don't ALL come with "free memory cards". But I'm sure that's irrelevant too...

So does Palm... Honestly, I can't believe you're putting this much work into a PPD customer. With us, once they have activated the number, our commission ends there. We usually don't go any further into it... "Your prepaid phone is f'ed up? I'm sorry to hear that. Walmart sells some inexpensive prepaid phones.....Next?"
