Crappy Network
Can't amplify a crappy network, back hauls to Sprint?
Re: Not an Upgrade Fee
Confirmed T-Mobile only charges SIM Starter Kits "Activation Fee" to new customers coming to T-Mobile.
There is no Upgrade Fee to get new equipment when you are already a customer.
Copied T-Mobile Again
This sounds quite similar to a move that was made last year by another carrier, weird...
There's a Difference
Throttling is reducing the speed of which data is transferred. Binge on and the data optimization and reduction of the video quality to 480p (which btw 480/720/1080 all look the same on a 4"-5" screen) does not infringe on speed.
T-Mobile Snack Baskets
Looks like this put sprint over the top. Now they have to layoff employees to recoup the cost of trying to recruit and win over T-Mobile employees...
100 Jobs
Weren't they supposed to 1000+ jobs to Chicagoland?
Um...No
"Verizon claims its deal is better than those of its competitors because customers have the potential to own the phone if they wish, rather than be forced to turn it in."
Not even close to accurate.
Re: TMobile wants $5 dollars more to make calls from a watch when you have a phone plan?
Yes $5/mo ($15 stand alone) unlimited talk/text/500mb of data w/music freedom. When the phone is connected via bluetooth its an extension of you devise. When not connected by bluetooth and as long as its connected through your samsung account you still recieve all the alerts and calls and messages as if you had your phone. When you respond however it will show the watch phone number and info. Your phone could be in NYC and ...

try youtube. otherwise i do not know of a tmo store that offers any workshops.
Re: Possible Class Action Lawsuit???
Plans are plans and in the fine print it says that all plans are subject to change without notice. There is a nice little disclaimer that says this on all the brochures. Along with that no company ever advertises an end date for plans etc. So therefore there cannot be any type of repercussion due to that all rate plans and features can be subject to change w/o notice.
However the only clause in the ...
Re: Confused
You pay your insurance deductable at POS and then you can proceed. $10 JUMP includes the insurance.
Re: So.....
When you purchase a phone you pay a down payment and finance the rest (hence $20/month). If you want another phone (upgrade) you need to pay off the financing (buy the rest of the phone). Once that is done, you pay another down payment and restart the financing.
Re: Is this legal?
Former USCC employee that was in a transition market. We were told at that time that it was business as usual. So new activation, upgrades and the likes were still acceptable practices.
It wasn't until Jan. that the phone prices went up and the mind set changed from selling to customer service alone. I understand that you feel mislead however for legal reasons the network will not just turn off when the deal closes in a few ...
Re: It's funny...
I find it amusing that USCC said that they didn't need to carry the iPhone and once the Chicago, St. Louis and Indiana markets were to be transitioned to Sprint then suddenly the mentality changed to lets get the iPhone. Weird how it happens that way...

Re: US CELLULAR CEO SAYS "NO" TO IPHONE 4 or 4S
I to work for the company and I agree that the iPhone is a great product. However there are many comparable phones that do the same and if not more than apples product. I've used an iPhone, a blackberry and currently use an Android. I'm actually the most happiest with my current product and my better half has an iPhone and hates it with a passion.
Apple will have its followers but Android has the ...
Re: Just signed up for US Cellular, and I want to change my phone?
Ok, I'm wrong about the 30 day part, however as a company they should express compassion for the customer and allow them to do the 30 day exchange from the day the customer tuned on the phones. Which they do.
Re: Just signed up for US Cellular, and I want to change my phone?
How is that info not correct, if they purchased the phones from USCC "the company" over the phone or online they can be physically returned to a company owned location (COR). Because they were purchased from "the company", they cannot return them to an Agent location (ABC Wireless "powered by USCC.) Ex. You cannot buy product A from Walmart and return the same product A to Target because they sell the same product A.
When it says ...
Re: Phone Pricing Scheme?
Every carrier does it the same way... USCC isn't any different...
Re: Prepaid Question???
Once a smartphone has been discontinued or is marketed for prepaid are the only phones that will be able to be used on prepaid. Hence why all premium phones can be used on prepaid now.
Re: Blackberry Torch
The phones should be arriving by today or tomorrow.
Re: Just signed up for US Cellular, and I want to change my phone?
It goes by when you actually activate the the service. If you waiting for non activated phone to arrive in the mail your 30 day period will start when the phones are turned on. You can exchange them under that 30 day rule. you would however need to pay the difference between the phone prices. There will be no additional fees beyond that. Make sure you visit a COR store to do the exchange.
Re: USCC-National Carrier....Since when?
Yeah i get your point, and its totally valid, im not arguing that, so when you see these commercials, are you in southern cali, or florida, or anywhere we aren't...NO.... they are only shown in areas USCC has service and stores. I'm just explaining the other side of the coin...
Re: False Advertising, that's EXACTLY what it is!!!
The point im trying to make is not that USCC is a national carrier, I agree 100% that it is not. I do consider VZW/AT&T to be national carrier b/c more often then not you will see a store in most locations throught the US. What I am saying is that USCC claims that thier service is better in markets where other national carriers exist... which 9/10 times is totaly accurate. In downtown Chicago my service ...
Re: USCC-National Carrier....Since when?
Now going back to the orginal statement... the areas that USCC does have coverage, thier coverage and service quality has routienly surpassed the quality of other national carriers in those areas. Nowhere does it say that USCC is actually a national carrier. But the service does work throught the country and it is better than other carrier too...
Re: False Advertising, that's EXACTLY what it is!!!
How is it false advertising? Our service will work just like any other carrier. USCC just doesn't have a store in every city in the US. And that also goes for every other carrier. Not just by adding an agent in these other cities. There area areas in this county that certain carriers service cannot be activated. They can certainly be used but the phones will roam. If you use more than ...
Re: USCC-National Carrier....Since when?
Both of you are exactly right and there is no denying that we are not a national carrier by nature of the world, however if you use the term reginal carrier then that leads the customer to believe that thier cellphone service will only work in thier areas only. Which is not true. The campaign is to let the customer base know that USCC provides national service so the phone works anywhere you travel within reason.

Re: "material change"
Its a raise in fees that the customer has no control over.
Can Verizon Wireless Change This Agreement or My Service?
We may change prices or any other term of your Service or this agreement at any time,but we'll provide notice first, including written notice if you have Postpay Service. If you use your Service after the change takes effect, that means you're accepting the change. If you're a Postpay customer and a change to your Plan or this agreement has ...
Re: confused about ETF
In rereading the article is does mention reg fees, but it doesn't mention that it was passed down by the gov't. If the gov't passed it down then your completely right, you cannot get out of a contract because the gov't raised the fees to VZW, but if VZW is raising them on thier own then its fair game.
Re: "material change"
That is correct.
Re: "material change"
Thats what they would do to keep you from switching. Yes but that would only work for the rest of the current contract. If you were to renew again the $.03 charge returns and there is not crediting.
Re: "material change"
Definition:
A change in the meaning or language of a legal document, such as a contract, deed, lease, or Commercial Paper, that is made by one party to the document without the consent of the other after it has been signed or completed.
And (again) VZW's Policy

Re: confused about ETF
The regulatory fees are mandated by the gov't if they go up then VZW goes up. There is not clasue for waiving of etf for reg. fees. The material fees are something that VZW charges themselves to the customers, not because the gov't says so. Read your policy.
