Re: wisconsin coverage question
Do you live north of the coverage area or do you just travel there quite a bit? fortunately if it is the latter all new usc plans include 45 minutes a month of roaming. if it is something like you go deer hunting or something like that you can also add bucketed roaming minutes @ 100min/$10 for a month. Also you can change you r plan whenever you want however it may not be recommended to do frequently to ...
Re: Nokia?
unfortunately the nokia we were testing failed out and we have no more nokia handsets on the lineup as of yet, what is it you like about the nokia handsets so much? curious as I have one and am probably going to the delve soon. maybe the hint when it comes out who knows. If it is interface you like look at an lg they are almost identical.
Re: Delve or Glimmer
This is the same issue I have been pondering. I also have the Nokia 6265 and have been very reluctant to give it up. Both handsets are great in their own rights. I really believe I am going to purchase the Delve though it seems the more functional handset.
All your goods and bads are true. The biggest downfall of the lg 830 (glimmer) is the ascending ringtone. otherwise its a great handset, ( my brother and sister each ...
Re: Checking a battery.....
This actually primarily is only useful for LG 6100/4750/5000 batteries there have been a lot of them swelling in the middle and they are bad if this happens. Even in retail stores with Battery analyzers they can test out good but they do not hold a charge very well. There have been very few batteries otherwise that this is evident. I would say that there are probably 20-30 of these batteries swapped out a week in most stores. 8)
Re: Anyone have a v710?
You need motorola mobile phone tools. With that you should be able to make mp3's into ringtones. I dont know if it will work witha bluetooth connection though. 8)
Re: Locked Phones? Wi Fi
Yeah most of them you go to you will have to pay for. i know almost every applebees I ahve been too you can request to use their WiFi and they give you an access code good for 1 hour. 8)
Re: any phones out there that can...
I think you can get something similar to that on most of them it may be carrier dependant too. I would check a few local companies and make sure what all apps are available. 8)
Re: Anyone remember?
I do not believe we offer them anymore. I think that got taken over by lifeline. But i could be wrong. I would contact cust relations and ask. 8)
Re: v3c external issue
You are corect about no rs techs having the update yet, unfortunately the person who get sthat out seems to be teking their time with it. The software update shoudl also remedy any bluetooth issues. 8)
Re: R.I.P. Roadside Assistance
Good riddance, most worthless vertical ever. i think like a 5% take ratio and costs more to uscc than we charge... 8)
Re: Phone Question?
How true is that! We have the best testing supposedly so I guess thats going for us? It would be nice to see a phone that is up to date when it is still popular though.
Re: any phones out there that can...
You want a blackberry, samsung sch-i830, or Palm Treo 700w but only the palm comes with a camera that I am aware of. As far as good resolution goes for a camera on a phone a lot of them are starting to have 2mp, I would not use anything smaller than 1.2 mp myself. you can get a decent 8x10 out of that before it gets to pixelated. hope this helps. 8)
Re: Phone Question?
We have 9 phones in testing right now but as everyone knows that could mean they maybe ready for launch by christmas.....
Re: v3c external issue
you need a software update for your phone, it just got approved last weeka nd should be available shortly, it will also supposedly fix some bluetooth issues. 8)
Re: No more religious arguments here from me....
Unfortunately everyone has had it wrong from the start. To keep it short and simple as long as you believe in something thats all thats important. Worship in your mind or in your church is all the same. If any christians in this world would understand this they may show that they have a half a brain cell. Evolution did happen, how we all got here is a mystery and will remain that way until I get the damned ...
Nokia 6255 finally
Should be in your local stores next week. It is already shipping. :D
Re: USCC Practicing what you Preach
Although I feel this situation was probably handled poorly. I think before anyone brings out the torches and pitchforks you should look into it a little more and ask yourself why the company would do this. There is more to this story than what is printed. A lot of you sound to eager to find a reason to bash this company. I dont agree with most practices by major companies, this happened for a reason and if you feel ...
Re: GOODBYE USCC!
Actually on the moto 710 you can use the usb cable and various software found online to load mp3s to your phone and use them as ringtones ands such. It works to d/l your pics to your pc also. I know it is possible since myself and a few others have done it. Now its up to you to use the thing on your shoulders to figure out like the rest of us how.
Re: Nokia in 3 weeks
I wish I had your info, as far as I know its approved but no launch date set yet.....its in friendly user trials right now. Hope it comes soon though then this dead horse can be put to rest.
Re: 5 Kyocera's in Testing
Here (wisconsin/illinois) my friend uses it and loves it he actually gets reception in places that most people dont.
Re: IM Forwarding
I dont know if we still have it available I used to have mine set up for yahoo where it would send me a text when i got an email but that was all we ever had available. I understand what you mean now, I thought you wanted aim on your phone.
Re: 6100 Help - PLEASE
Yup, cell is right the first few batches of phones needed an update. they had problems with easyedge freezing up all the time. this is a relatively fast update about 2 min. however if you need teh software update also thats another 20-30 minutes so be prepared to leave your phone or sit around your local uscc store for a little while.
Re: IM Forwarding
No other ideas really. I think pretty much any other carrier charges about the same for the application though its only free on your pc.
Re: Nokia in 3 weeks
I still wouldnt hold your breath on this. We will see when it finally passes testing completly. 8)
Re: new kyocera!!!!
:lol: lmao :lol:
Re: IM Forwarding
Actually what you need to do is download aol im from easyedge. Its going to be $9.95/ month plus whatever teh application fees are to use though....
Re: any new news?
I will second that motion....Give it time until there is only 2 maybe 3 providers in teh country though.... :?
Re: USCC EMPLOYEES
That is amazing here the 6100 is terrible and teh 710 outpreforms any other phone we carry for signal strength and overall preformance. The battery life I will give you the 710 lasts a day if your lucky. I recommend the extended life battery to a lot of people. But I havent seen any of the other issues. So far all 2 of the PTT phones we carry seem a little sketchy. I am not convinced on those yet.
Re: any new news?
I agree but he is right about the market changes I think he hit it on the nose with who got what I would ahve to dig up the email....
Re: USCC EMPLOYEES
lmao :lol:
Re: USCC EMPLOYEES
I explain it at this, they dont test enough and they dont test in real world conditions. Alls they test for are software and functionality.
the 8500 - bad trace that went bad usually after 6 months
3100 - no explantaion other than its lg
T731 - Software issues came up when uscc upgraded their network.
v810 - system connector. no real explanation as its the same on all motorolas this is the only one to have real issues.
LX5550 - again the ...
Re: USCC EMPLOYEES
lol, Piece rate, its a sound concept. However I still have to stand behind the testing. Although extremey anal it has the lowest failure rate of any company I have seen. Also the fact that we fix phones in most retail stores is a huge plus. (except the fact I have to fix them all) I would say my biggest beef are the customers who insist they never drop their phone, or worse yet ahnd me their phone and ...
Re: USCC EMPLOYEES
I like the company, however I do agree at times we move slowly, and i mean turtles screw faster than we can launch a phone. But I also understand the whys. Once your around a while you will see what I mean. Yes USCC is probably one of the best companies to work for. But sometimes you have to question what is taking so long...... 8)
Re: any new news?
I will repeat what has already been said, the Owners of Uscc would not sell to merge with anyone. I know that if the right markets were to open up spectrum they would look very hard into buying them though ....
Re: QUESTION ABOUT NEW PHONES!!!
I am a bad person on whiskey so i stick with Brand'y mostly. But when our new phones come out I will buy a nice bottle of wine and not remember teh rest of the night... :P
Re: QUESTION ABOUT NEW PHONES!!!
I agree our phone selection is terrible right now but I hear it way to often....and believe me I have enough drinks for most of us.... 8)
Re: QUESTION ABOUT NEW PHONES!!!
Actually I can, it is having mms problems with motorolas once the software is fixed for that its good to go. 8)
Re: QUESTION ABOUT NEW PHONES!!!
Well is the ICE really being delivered by providing our customers with phones that works half-a$$. I dont think so. From your point ( i assume a sales person) I can see the frustration hard to sell phones when people are waiting for the "cool" phone. I see it day in day out. How about this sell the service not the phone. A cool phone is only good when it works. The motorola 710 is a great phone, ...
Re: Return policy and free upgrade
Well bebo unlike everyone else here I am happy you got what you wanted. I would like to stress this is not the case most of the time though. You approached it correctly and politely and were in return taken care of. Enjoy your new phone.
