Re: horrible cingular support
lefteyeiu2006 said:
Not neccisarily true, BlueHFX,
Because you see I am using an unlocked Nokia 6200 phone on T-Mobile and I was able to get T-Mobile's browser and MMS settings!
Ccaliban2u, join T-Mobile today. You can use an unlocked phone on their network, and they don't mind one bit!
I did not say always i said in most cases. But with cingular with an unsupported device you are pretty much out of luck for help. even with correct settings since it ...
Re: New sim card..
jack1435 said:
stupid most sellers sell them as new on ebay!
I just think that it is risky to buy that way since a sim card is not that hard to get, When any retail store can most cases give you one or get one from customer care.
Re: unadvertised plans
jinx7676 said:
the only plans i haven't seen on the site are the North America plans:
$59.99 for 450/1000
$84.99 - 850/1000
$99.99 - 1700/1000
$149.99 - 2700/1000
no roaming or LD in US/CAN/Mex
all plans include rollover
The North America Plans DO NOT HAVE ROLLOVER!!!!!!! Only the National plans do. The North America Packages is not always avalible in all Markets or you may have to ask for it specifically.
Re: horrible cingular support
Well if you read the forums here. This is the biggest problem with buying an unlocked device. We cannot nessarly support the product. This is something that is going to happen with any carrier.
Re: N-Gage Insurance question
to be safe you should call lockline since none of at cingular actually works for them stock can change at any time.
Re: New sim card..
You got to be kidding me! You are going to buy a sim card from ebay? if its been used its of no use to you it is way way easier to get one at a store many even give them away. If you get burned on this one its you own fault. it is one thing to buy a phone. but a sim is an even bigger risk.
Re: Deferred Billing
There is delayed billing it does exist nothing illegal about it. when ever you use your phone off a different carrier those minutes can be delayed in being reported. the carrier usually has 45-60 days to report usage. once reported thats when you are billed for it.
Re: No service- How to terminate contract?
Actually for the hurricane victims you can get out without an etf. Saying you are moving to Australia may work sometimes but it is not a legal reason or any official way to get out without an etf. But for hurricane victims call us and we will see what we can do and we will do what we possible can to help you. Right now there is more leeway then normal. Please give is a call for Orange ...
Re: v635 Voicemail Non Notification
This is the problem with unsupported devices. Not everything works. However Vm is a network thing. So if you opt out of txt messaging that would cause your problem. But if they do all the troubleshooting like if your account is set up. Unfortunately since you are using an unsupported device there is not a lot that can be done. You can check the settings on the phone and set the notification on. Not sure how it is on ...
Re: How to get out of Cingular contract
cubbie1423 said:
If you move to where the company doesn't provide service they can't hold you to the contract. DirecTV is the same way.
Legally they can it is not up to the company that you moved. There is no law requiring a company to waiver an ETF if you move to a non service area. Military personal can because they have absolutely no choice they move or go to jail pretty much.
Re: How to get out of Cingular contract
tnyflrs said:
I don't believe that moving to another country any company will let you out of the contract but I'll check the policy.
I know Ballys Totally Fitness lets you out of the contract under such situation.
There is nothing in policy that allows this Any rep that waives the fee other then for military reasons for this one should be immediately terminated and billed the termination fee and the customers monthly service for the remainder of the contract. I know ...
Re: Phone stoop(id).com
Hmm isn't these companies in America I thought America was about CAPITALISM! America has some of the lowest wireless rates in the world in Europe they pay a hell of a lot more more for their wireless service. These companies do no create service as a charity they are created to make money since they invested billions of dollars and despite what many people think wireless phones are a convenience not a necessity of life. We survived in the ...

Ya but sprint has something to do with cell phones.
What does sprint have to do with this?
Re: Verizon Call Timer
With any carrier no matter what it is generally third party dealers can and many will have secondary agreements. Many former attws dealers did as do cingular dealers do. if you are getting a phone cheaper at a third party dealer there is usually a catch. Remember they make their money of the commission of the service they sell hardly any money on the phone since they do not get the phone you got for free, free they probably ...
Re: ? for Blue reps...
1techguy said:
so you are saying only for business customers? Sorry, I don't understand most of the jargon and acronyms you used.
Yep and thats because the business customers are attached to huge accounts and already had deals signed before.
Re: Rogers browser settings for Motorola v635?
I am not sure how easy it is to get them you can ask rogers what the settings are but I think mostly they force it to be manually set up. unless something is wrong with my phone I cannot see the settings I tried. They may leave it to an auto update. This is the problem with unlocked phones some features cannot be used. Even though it is a supported device yours is not configured for rogers.
Re: Would you wait, compromise, or go with the cheap phone?
Also remember that the 6230 is discontinued. and any exchanges with WSC(XBM) will result in a substitution currently with a moto v551 or Siemans S66.
Re: What is up with some Orange reps?
simplymarcus said:
I am an orange rep. I have always been orange never knew blue at all. Orange reps are just trying to meet stats thats all.
Trying to meet stats or not it is still bad practice, the way a payment was supposed to be made you had to speak with the card holder to process the payment. I personally think Cingular should immediately terminate employees who try and process payments like that.
Re: 6230 STOP-SHIP!
zjc2a said:
Thank you bluehfx for an accurate answer to my post.
Is it possilbe for me to be re-eligable for my upgrade since I used my upgrade to get this phone and it worked out a little less than expected? I would like the new 6681 (I think that is the number), but for the upgrade or new contract price.
-Z
Np I am sorry I am not sure how the upgrades work I work in WSC ...
Re: 6230 STOP-SHIP!
springaf said:
duh. what did you think, they'll send a 6230 with problems? obviously for now they'll send another phone until they fix the problems.
They are actually not fixing the problems the phone is discontinued period. Someone had posted that if someone had problems with the device that the exchange would be done and sent a fixed 6230. I thought I point out this is not the case and currently the only substitution is the moto V551. This ...
Re: ? for Blue reps...
1techguy said:
So they still allow migrations from Blue TDMA to GSM, just no new activations?
I think business customers may be able to migrate just because of certain contractual obligations but normally no there are no blue to blue migrations just blue to orange. Apparently some people were able to migrate from blue to orange then orange to blue which i think is dumb since they are trying to get everyone on orange anyway.
Re: 6230 STOP-SHIP!
springaf said:
think about it, completely discontiunued phones still have replacements. Obviously, thy're gonna stop selling defective phones to save money and figure out what the source problem is, fix it, and start reselling them. Duh. Obviously they cant replace it right now but when they hit the shelves again, that means that they're fixed and you can get the newer, better 6230. you would just do an xbm thru cingular
Actually they replace it with a ...
Re: ? for Blue reps...
1techguy said:
When a current TDMA customer picks up a GSM phone, what is required for them to switch to GSM, since they are not doing any new GSM activations from what I have heard?
unless he gets it unlocked to migrate or to sell he can use the phone as a a paper weight.
Re: Basic Question - Roam on AT&T Networks?
pfeif4 said:
I have an MPX220 which "roams" inside my apartment. The provider is still Cingular but it is showing roaming.
Is it roaming because it is using an AT&T tower?
Northern VA.
Thanks,
Mark
It depends could also be network integration but your phone should show cingular but not all phones do if you are on a national plan it really should not matter unless you are with the legacy attws and had a charter plan or a mb national ...
Re: Handset insurance
motohello said:
Didn't know that, Again, more helpful info. At this point I've decide to leave it uninsured by Cingular, and I'll add it to my apartment insurance . . . Thanks all for all your advice and helpful comments. :)
Cool np, hope it works out for you.
Re: sprint in europe?
British Telecom also does wireless go to thier site. I been there. But I been in care people do seem to expect to have unlimited calling options here if you asked customers they never say no to it.
Re: Handset insurance
motohello said:
Cingular is not aware that the phone is unlocked. That is completely irrelevant. It has more to do with the fact I am blue and they want to try any measure to get me to switch to orange. To wit: spoke with blue rep this morning and they told me the only way to get insurance is to migrate. So this phone will remain uninsured. I'm sorry but the orange plans bite.
Orange may not know it when you ...
Re: Handset insurance
1techguy said:
The 3.99 doesn't cover mechanical or electrical issues whereas the old insurance did, just to clarify.
To further clarify if the failure was not a manufacturers defect or out side the one year warranty the insurance covered it but if within its one year and a defect it did not correct.
Re: Question for former ATTWS reps
Vox Dei said:
Because Cingular has its customer split between former SBC areas and former Bell south areas. They are also further divided between markets. They are even different billing systems for each area (SBC area and Bell south areas). AWS had a national system for their GSM phones so you could have phones anywere you wanted (as long as it was a national family plan back when they had local ones). but don't tell anyone ...

Re: Need help in getting Info on unlocking Moto V551
johnsonlr96 said:
if you have access to that lookup tool can you look up my imei and email me that code? :D
This so called blue look up tool is not a company tool most likely this is third party store and he is making money by going to the net and getting the codes for you. There is no such thing as a blue look up tool created by attws or cingular as attws never did provide those codes ...

Can a voice record on a motorola V551 be used as a ringtone? If so, how is it done?
I cannot seem to get it done on my v600 but my buddy has a v551 what he does is creates a multi media message record the voice and send it off. then you can save it to your sounds you should be able to get it from your outbox and save it to your sounds. his worked mine ...

Has anyone seen a small flip phone that has microsoft excel?
Only thing I see was PDA's and you have to buy it sepearat usually documents to go.
Re: Handset insurance
motohello said:
the insurance is only a few extra dollars a month, Something between 5 and 10 if I recall. I have no issues paying that, as I want to be covered for any circumstance.
4.99 is for full coverage adds extended warranty 3.99 will get you reg equipment insurance in the past on the all over network as they put it now the orange side is the only place to get new insurance.
Re: Handset insurance
motohello said:
I actually have a Cingular unlocked Black one. Bought it a a reseller near my job. He sold it to me for $199 and unlocked it for free (I hooked him up with a SEEM edit to enable video recording for his customers). Came in that hideous blue and orange box. But you might be right, because when I called all they have in the notes is the second silver one added to my account after a warranty ...
Re: Cingular trying to force switch from S46 to another phone-what is the real deal?
stiix said:
Consult your lawyer on the breach because cingular is not letting you out easy
actually if you consult your terms and conditions of service they can make changes especially if they give notice if you receive 30 days notice and you stay then you can been seen as excepting the terms.
Re: FOOL PROOF
a99tandem said:
OR.. you could do as one of my customers did on Saturday (only she did it for REAL purposes) and say you're moving to London and studying abroad. She called up and they let her go with no prob.
They still do not have to let her out of the contract.
Re: sprint in europe?
Disciple247365 said:
Actually, you should check out Tmobile's UK site, where you'll see that things are quite different from what you describe. In Europe, practically every non-pda phone is free w/ svc contract (even the v3 Razr). The PDA phones may not be free, but they are much more affordable there too.
Look at what you get for for service though there is no such thing as unlimited n&w and things like that at least not with British telecome ...
Re: FOOL PROOF
Yeah but moving to a non service area does not get you out of contract. The only exception would be if you are in the military and you are stationed outside of the coverage area then by law there the etf has to waived.
Re: Can Cingular triangulate for a lost phone?
AdamDavid85 said:
CAN they do it? Yes. Will they do it? No. Why? Because the e911 system in place for emergencies only (and only because carriers are legally required to set it up). Plus, you have no idea how often people lose their phones, and what kind of resources it would take to try to locate all of those phones. It sounds like a good idea, before you find out what it would take to implement it.
Thats what I mean ...
