Re: I know its been A LONG TIME and i know u guys miss it so here goes.. 48 more pages to 600!!!WOOH
view flat. :) Threaded is my preferred view, btu flat gives the numbers we "want"... just like VZW, you can twiddle the numbers to make them say what you want...

Re: "In" calling
You have "in"... anytime you call or are called by a VZW phone, you arent' charged... on the other end who knows, but you don't care about them, do you? DO YOU? 8O
heheh.
Re: Anyone have any old verizon phones?
if ($phone == t7*0)
$worksright != $worksright (if $phone !=t7*0)
...
What works right for a t720 isn't all you'd expect from any other used phone... They're both (720 and 730) on the "Known Issues" list. :)
I have 2 t730s here... I'd sell em for $50 each... standard battery, no accessories...
Re: Nights n weekends @ 7
here's another one... "Slovenly git" :)
Re: firmware update
In store, no charge, 25 minute wait to move 40 megs into the phone plus restore phonebooks brew etc...
Re: Nights n weekends @ 7
remember, our already low churn *INCLUDES* prepaid layabouts coming and going at will... :)

:lol: Verizon Wireless is not afraid of this merge, their smart customers know where the REAL service is at, and will remain loyal customers. Verizon Wireless has class, and has top notch customer service, with few complaints for such a LEADING PROVIDER in the wireless industry. With the merge the only thing verizon wireless is looking forward to is increasing our customer base by acquiring the "new cingular's" dissatisfied customers. You can lower the nights ...
Re: Nights n weekends @ 7
We're holding out... we're showing our pair of tens but holding back on our set of aces... Push comes to shove they'll put it all on the table and beat the living faeces out of the "new" cingular...
Re: volume bug
your minutes... if it's after 9, you have unlimited airtime... if not it uses at least one minute of your allowance... every minute it takes to download (fractional rounded up) eats a voice minute.
Re: Motorola V265
Fresh off the press this morning it now says the 12th instead of the 5th... :-/
Re: New promo..?
the brochures say 1400, and the old code is still in eROES so I'll be damned if I'm not gonna still sell it as long as I can...
Re: New promo..?
"Holiday Promo Vision Codes" the excel sheet...
Re: New promo..?
Grab the latest plan matrix off of IC... it may be a typo, but it says 1200... :-/

Re: Bluetooth Phones
BT will be locked liek the TF is now... you can't put the pre-installe dpics or mp3s on it, nor can you put GIN/BREW crap on it... so, no, GIN won't be affected, because you won't be abel to xfer the apps (and they're signed by ESN anyway... can't even transfer them from one phone to anothe rof the same model...)
Re: New promo..?
The one local plan dropped from 1400 mins to 1200... but that's it as far as plans go. Phone prices are fixed through 11/28... :(
Re: Understanding VZW's Coverage
Ooooh, do you too have a XXX-XXX-0000 number? :) The local test engineers/tower techs have 0000 numbers in one of the 4 local exchanges. ;-)
Re: Finally, the VX6100 has been announced.
Did they still have VX6000s on display?
We're "Not allowed" to do anything with the 6100s till we sell through the 6000s. :roll:
Being the same price and all. :)
Re: Understanding VZW's Coverage
Possibly try a call after the lights are out some morning... Neon Signs/Transformers can exacerbate RFI problems...
This is assuming you have the normal "Beer-Lite" collage in the windows. :)
Re: Understanding VZW's Coverage
Lemme guess... Stucco facade?
Re: cdma vs amps/cdma
Some back story... before my forays into the wireless world with radio shack, I worked for a small company called "Battery Works"... We did everything... re-energizing, rebuilding, manufacturing new packs to customer specifications, test and install of on-sire battery banks and floor scrubbers... Everything from watch batteries to fork-lift batteries, we did it... I know far more about batteries than I ever want to at this point...
Lithium batteries have very little memory effect to them, it's there, but ...
Re: When will Verizon's Analog be phased out?
Local tower tech/HAM radio friend concurrs with your post. If it breaks or is hit by lightning, it's done.
Re: When will Verizon's Analog be phased out?
sorry, but it's 330mw max output for any handheld cellular device. That's PEP, so the actual RF finals may get .6w put into them, but only .33w comes off the antenna.
Re: Understanding VZW's Coverage
1 bar means you'll get text messages and possibly call out... anything > 1 bar is usually good... what they really should do is put a square there... off == no sig... blink == coin-toss and solid == should be fine to call...
It's a leftover from the analog days... since you can "hear" a tower up to 30 miles away, but your phone can't speak to it that far, AFAIK on cdma the closed loop power control is where ...
Re: USCC Release Update
use their firmware... get bluetooth... but we just did it with the alltell flex over on ho-fo...
Re: Verizon workers, help please?
Try the stores today, they should have new post-recall FRUs in.
Re: New To Cell World, could use some advice..
VZW has you covered in all respects... No doubt that cingular has you covered too, but My gut is with VZW.
Re: What do you think of VZW Customer Service?
We used to be able to get up to 45 day advances on upgrade dates... not anymore. :roll:
Re: What do you think of VZW Customer Service?
Yeah, internal support sucks A$$! They won't even move upgrade dates up by even one day... I found a way around it though...
"Sir, they won't move your upgrade date up anymore, we used to be able to pull strings but they just won't do it... Now if you throw your phone about 20 feet in the air and let it land on the concrete outside, and come back in, they'll definitely change it..."
Out mr customer goes to ...
Re: Sanyo 8200 on Verizon?
/me flashes the jolly rodger on his background...
Re: Sanyo 8200 on Verizon?
yeah, call up a few times, and even try a few different departments... try activations, then account maintence, then tech support, then try supervisors in all 3 departments... Somebody will be willing to live life on the edge. :)
Re: What do you think of VZW Customer Service?
I can't speak for my customers, but I do know that we have the quickest "time to live" on customer support... generally less than 4 minutes and you're talking to a human (and 99% of the time they speak English better than half my customers do)... I've seen porters from ATTWS wait 37 minutes on hold just to check for a middle initial and out of contract status... 37 freaking minutes on hold!!! Jeeebus!
Re: Sanyo 8200 on Verizon?
Actually it will... I have a form sitting in front of me for ESN exceptions... We fill it out, fax it in, they give it a hairy eyeball, and fax it in somewhere else, and there those people call the manufacturer's unlisted level (insert somethign like avogrado's number her) tech line and verify that it's GPS, they sign off on it and fax it to the hardware demons... and now if the ESN is still readable (3 faxes) they ...
Re: cdma - More CDMA users in North America than GSM
dude, don't wear my stompin' boots out 8O , I'd like em back at some point. 8)
Re: Woah, VZW's churn rate INCLUDES PREPAID!!!! Holy Moo!
yeah, just from my limited contact with prepaid customers when working for radioshack ( 2 yrs ) the churn rate has to be something like 30% of all prepaids... so if our churn figure of 1.6% or whatever it is includes that, the actual post-paid churn is probably only 0.75% :) Nice to know, and comforting in those hours when there's nobody at my kiosk and the AT&T/nextel kiosk has 2 or 3 captivated customers...
Re: cdma
or you get the customers who are the "I pay my bill when they shut my "fohne" off" at $800 overdue. :)
Re: Sanyo 8200 on Verizon?
manual programming will fix that... it puts in the SID/NID pairs... the ones in it currently are sprint's SID/NID... you'll swap it with VZW's SID/NID and it'll hit a VZW tower... and *22891 is the option you can use to do the PRL update.
Re: cdma
Dude, I'd hate to be in sprint's shoes, period!
