DId verizon turn off the call waiting beep?
I'm talking about the beep callers would here if they called you while you were already on the phone. Did they remove that? It always annoyed me that people could tell if I purposely ignore their call while I am talking to someone else.
Just wondering, thanks!
Honoring Agreements?
Correct me if I am wrong but paying the termination fee is honoring an agreement.
When I sign a contract, the agreement states that if I cancel my service, I have to pay a termination fee.
As long as I pay the fee, I followed the agreement, right?
:paranoid:
Re: In-contract trick to get new blackberry for cheap, possible?
Menno said:
Most commission pay outs are either Three or Six months after the set up date. If you cancel before that time, the rep will get the chargeback.
Noted.... So to be as fair as possible to the rep I would be in and out and waste as little time as possible.

epik said:
Yeah, people do that all the time.
1) If a salesperson even gets a whiff of it, they might refuse to do it. That's because they'll get hit with a chargeback on their commission when you cancel, and some employees could also see their commission reduced overall because their money is tied into their returns, too (but that is a corporate employee, not Best Buy, to my knowledge). I've refused to do it before. My manager ...
In-contract trick to get new blackberry for cheap, possible?
Ok, so here is the deal. This all may sound like a lot but work with me here…
My gf has a storm and can’t take it anymore, its just not for her. We just got it swapped out for a refurb so it is in new condition. What she wants in the blackberry tour, however given the price they are going for ebay minus the price her storm would go for still makes her spend around $200 after everything. ...
Re: I Hate My iPhone
Haha, funny article. Truth is, the iPhone is not for everybody. Just how a Windows Mobile phone is not for everybody. Just how a new Macbook Pro is not for your grandma that just wants to read something on the internet.
Here is an idea - - lets have the author of this article try out the Storm.. let me know how that goes, k?
Re: New phones--How about a new color for the LG Chocolate?
dont think there will be any new colors for the chocolate very soon. something different from the voyager? well if you don't want a blackberry/smartphone then that limits your options.
why not try the boulder for a cool waterproof phone?
Or go with something ultra portable like the Juke? that thing is tiny.
iPhone 3G using old iPhone data plan
So after having my 3G iPhone for while, my sister gave me her 1st generation iPhone as a back up.
Setting it up on iTunes made me go back to a $20 data plan. I have been switching back and forth between for iPhones, but on my 3G iPhone I got the message saying "My data plan is not elligible with iPhone 3G and to call and have it switched.
When I called ATT I got some idiot who did ...
Re: I LOVE VZW!! (kinda long story)
unless i am reading something wrong here...the rep you spoke to doesn't seem to know that they are talking about.
why should someone who doesn't have insurance be given the "new contract" price of the phone, when you were already in contract since April.
good job though.
Re: Blackberry Storm Caught on Video
ya chris, I was thinking the same thing. who knows what version this guy got. for all we know it is probably a preproduction model with lots of kinks still to be knocked out.
what i want to know his...how does someone like this guy get his hands on this phone?
Blackberry Storm Caught on Video
It is 2:55 into the video clip. What do you guys think?

iPhone
chris, there actually is a notepad on the iPhone right now and you can also send texts to multiple people (since like january)
Adding 3G is def the biggest thing with the new iPhone. the new software and the "App Store" are also a huge plus.
Now when they throw a CDMA chip in, then we are talking, right? 8)
thanks!
haha thats what i though. I will give it a try, thanks.
ANYONE ELSE?
haha well thanks for your advice.
Help: Curve or BlackJack2 to hold me over?
Just sold my iPhone and I need something to hold me over til July 11th when I get the iPhone 3G.
My spare Samsung Sync is too boring so I need a smartphone for the next month.
I'm going either Curve or the Blackjack 2, any advice? I'l just be using the internet/browsing. I know the blkjack has 3G, but I always wanted to try the Curve as well.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Is there a Verizon phone that ATT users want and can't get?

When was the last time you have used a Verizon phone?

SystemShock said:
Meh, I was just pointing out a fact... CDMA is more popular than GSM in the US. No need to cry about it.
You may have your own pet theories as to why it's true, but it does not change the fact. :wink:
damn right! :lol:
Re: Vzw to Att: Switching between phones not so bad with Vzw afterall
AshDizzle said:
I have never had a phone get "wear and tear" from switching the SIM card out repeatedly. Be more careful then.
Well when you switch phones even once a day, thats 365 times per year, I don't care how "careful" you are, it will cause it to wear poorly.
Re: Just picked me up an N95
New, Used? And did you get it on Ebay?
Re: someone answer my i-phone questions
The iPhone is great for checking email and using the calendar, which can sync with your computer so everything is always backed up. Its a great multimedia phone. Music, videos, internet, email, etc.
It is not covered by insurance, so be careful if you get one. The new iPhone is expected to be released as soon as June, but will definitely be released in 2008. The new iPhone will be 3G (faster internet connection while browsing the web) and will ...
Go with LG
Go with the LG 8350 hands down.
Re: Weird GSM problem
It is GSM phones in general. Nothing is wrong with the phone. If it is too much of a problem then you would have to switch to VZW or Sprint, which use a different frequency (CDMA).
Re: Yes, understood. But what you fail to realise is
No, I didn't fail to realize that. I just stated that there are a few misconceptions with the ease of use of switching phones with a sim card. Both have positives and negatives, no one can deny that. And I agree with the whole unlocked thing. That is one of a GSM carrier's strongest attributes.
Re: Vzw to Att: Switching between phones not so bad with Vzw afterall
I do agree, evdo to 1x and vice versa is a pain in the but. Im not sure if this has been fixed yet but ya it needs to be fixed. From the couple of times I had to call in and do this though, they did waive the fee since it can't be done online.
Re: Is the Simply Everything plan for a limited time?
Great! Thanks for the info. :D
Re: Vzw to Att: Switching between phones not so bad with Vzw afterall
Ya it is a total misconception that truly isn't such the big deal that people make it out to be. Having a Sim card is not and should not be any kind of deal breaker between GSM vs. CDMA.
Is the Simply Everything plan for a limited time?
I switched my mom who has sprint over to this plan. She heard from one Sprint Rep that this plan only lasted a month or so? I'm think that is BS. Any info?
Vzw to Att: Switching between phones not so bad with Vzw afterall
One of the biggest complaints people with verizon always say is that switching between phones is such a hassle having to either call customer service or log into My Account to do the ESN swap. Everyone wishes that verizon had sim cards like Att and Tmobile, but are sim cards really so great if you switch between phones daily?
I always thought the same thing while I was with Verizon. When the iphone came out and I switched to Att, ...
So who is signing up for the Simply Everything plan today?
I just called to get my mom switched on to it. Of course, this is the response I get (after 10 minutes of being on hold) "I'm sorry sir, we are actually having problems with that plan right now as far as adding it on to your account. Can I call you later and let you know what is going on?"
Get your crap together sprint!
Re: Sprint going national with the $120 Unlimited Plan?
lol well I have heard that, but until I see something I assume it is just a rumor. Sprint needs to hurry up and announce something because I know several people who will be switching if they don't.
Sprint going national with the $120 Unlimited Plan?
It will be one week tomorrow that Verizon announced theirs. I was almost sure we would have heard something by now.
Anyone have any speculation on when/if it is going to happen?
Re: Iphone killer...
true..but i always feel more comfortable when ATT has it in their line up, dont ask me why.
basically you have to make sure the phone comes in the same 'bands' as ATT offers for 3G and all?
GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900
WCDMA 850 / WCDMA 1900 / WCDMA 2100 ???
Re: m510 my opinion
Cool, thanks for the info man.
Re: Iphone killer...
looks great..too bad the chances of ATT releasing it anytime soon is slim to none. By then the 3G iPhone will already be released.
Re: Sprint not getting on the bus?
That article was corrected by Engadget saying that the report was wrong...it is still only offered in select markets.
Re: Phone Advice
The DLX seems to be the popular vote. Thanks for your input.
Re: Phone Advice
sounds good, thanks man!
Phone Advice
Hey guys. Once Sprint figures out what it is going to do with their unlimited plans, my mom will be moving over from Nextel to Sprint.
What is the best phone out there with Sprint currently? She talks a lot, needs speaker, 1 megapixel or greater camera, and it needs to be somewhat thin.
I was looking at the Samsung M520, Katana DLX, and the Samsung M510.
Am I missing any good ones?
I appreciate your help.
