Re: Almost a month

I heard an commercial on the radio the other day about stream hiring for some kind of medicare campaign. What's that about? I thought AT&T was pretty firmly against having other contracts in the building with them.

None of my co workers or friends care about iphones. I ignore commercials and ads. Pretty simple.

Call center is what I escaped. Not an interest in phones and technology in general. Besides, I spent the vast majority of my time at work/hell on phone scoop.

Almost a month
Jul 26, 2010, 8:25 AM
in the Shop Talk forum

I escaped call center hell almost a month ago. So far so good. I haven't heard any phrases like "why do I have to pay the blah blah fee" or "the website says...". Nobody has complained to me about anything. This is really nice. My boss has done my job before so when he tells me something I know it's reliable. At stream a decent amount of the managers had never actually been on the phone with the AT&T ...

I have that every day. Usually about twice a week they'll get mad about it though. I'd get mad if I had something password protected and it was easy to get around.

I figured as much, but I just wan't sure if there was a technical or legal reason behind it. Just $$$$ as usual. :D

Nah, your British accent probably makes you more sales.

Learn to speak American and they won't yell at you. :D Unless you tell them that they can't get the Iphone4 since they just got an upgrade in April.

But I've had plenty of "those" days. Happens to everyone.

Most fees are just a matter of pushing a button.

If his time is valuable, he'd get off the phone after 2 minutes and try again later or get online and fix the problem.

People get too wound up in specs. Chances are that 90% of the people using the evo, i phone4, or this phone will ever get close to using it to it's full advantage. It's just good that there are comparable phones on several carriers so that it makes the companies work hard to get new customers.

Not at all

This should be an interesting summer with the phone companies trying to beat each other with new phones.

Cool

Sounded like a fun day. A week's worth of sales in one day. Can't beat that.

I've heard from a former t mobile salesman about some of the pay. Sounds like a good deal

OT is ok, but forced OT with short notice isn't too much fun. Especially when it's all about the I phone 4. People forget it's a phone and not a kidney transplant.

It's at a bar.

That's awesome. I'd be interested in knowing how much profit is actually made each month from a customer that's out of contract. That way there'd be an accurate way to tell the people how long it takes a company to recoup it's costs from a discounted phone. I've heard it takes 6 months, but I'd like to see the math.

The commision thing

is just flat out awesome. I'm just under the $200 as well(which is still good sales considering how the last several weeks have gone). I had yesterday off so it had plenty of time to soak in and today I'm just a super duper happy camper.

Now that you mention it, it does sound like a crappy mexican place owned by asian people or something.

That or that "someone" paid retail price and didn't want to look like a fool or get yelled at by spouse for spending $300. So they told a story about how xxxxx company gave it to them for free.

Look on the bright side.

All at&t call center folk have been flooded with people having a hard time ordering it or whining because they just bought a 3Gs a few months ago and "deserve" a 4.

One morning my phone was on the other side of the night stand than what I usually put it. Damn thing is possessed. I'm just glad it's careful when it's walking around my house and jumping off of coutners. :D And let's not forget that they also access the internet all night long too.

I wonder how many doctors and engineers we'll have in 20 years or so if the exponential increase in stupidity continues at the current rate.

The stupidest word used by the stupidest people. TEXTS, how hard is that to figure out?

Phones that break themselves

in the Shop Talk forum

It's not uncommon at all to have people calling in demanding a new phone for free or to pay $20 for another one. Why? Cause their phone cracked it's screen all by itself. It was just sitting in a case and in the morning it was broken. :roll:These people are the most argumentative of any other callers. What a fun day.

The cell phone number. Do you call the cable company and provide your gas company account number? There's usually 2 or 3 a day, but today there's been about 8 or 9.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm suprised companies haven't been caught using the gps on company phones to keep tabs on what the employees do on their off time. That would be the ultimate in BS.

People just don't think
Jun 18, 2010, 11:56 AM
in the Article: Courts Rule Employers Can Search Employee Text Messages forum

Although I don't agree with the ruling, I wouldn't be dumb enough to use a company(public) supplied phone for any personal reasons especially if it's something that could get me in trouble. Just like with company e mail, gotta think about if you'll get in trouble before you hit send

The iphone sold out 600,000 in less than a day without anyone even being able to get their hands on one. Plus there are probably just as many people that couldn't get through to pre order one. How many EVOs sold all together so far?
