Then everyone will just bitch about how expensive the phones are at full retail. There will always be something to bitch about.

If you want a "deal" then why the hell shouldn't you be the one that has to hunt for it???? If it didn't require a little work, then it wouldn't be a deal and everyone would have 'em. Are you really so self-absorbed that you think the rest of the world should bend to your laziness??? Do you also expect a free reach around with every purchase? I would blown you off too. Get real.

If their plans were as cheap as Tmobile or Sprint, then you could expect the same network coverage you get from both...which is virtually none. When comparing plans to AT&T, they are virtually the same and both have data requirements. I love it when people get their facts straight before posting.

You are an idiot. These posts are from 2007. You shouldn't even own a computer let alone an iphone. Wait. I take that back. Most people who own iphones are idiots who want to feel cool. Your threats are as empty as your head. Oh...and Verizon couldn't possibly have an iphone before 2010 when the exclusive deal with AT&T is set to expire. Go. Get your precious iphone. And ...

You know...If I was looking for a fight, I would go to the lounge. That's where everybody likes to be a dick and get away with it. I've been around this forum for a while and people complain about things that are much more simple than this and yet they don't get the ridicule. Screw this forum. It's done nothing but suck for the past year anyhow.

If the balloons had our info printed on them, it would be different. They are plain balloons to get attention. If someone comes in with kids, we have no problem giving them balloons or old dummy phones. It's the ones who just take it that tick me off.

So I know people are worried about the economy and whatnot, but stealing the balloons from in front of the store to give your kids is just pathetic. We put them on our sign on weekends and parents have been stealing them lately for their kids as they walk by. Right in broad daylight. We don't put them out as gifts. They are there for attention and advertising. Why would people think its OK ...

I have one who is a doctor and he has been coming to the store for several years. He has NEVER purchased a phone. He comes in when something is near end-of-life and wants it free without a rebate. Most of the phones still have rebates long after we stop carrying them here. He always wants high end phones free for his secondary lines. Not gonna happen pal. Free Blackberry Pearl? Sure...if ...

or if you need more data to hit the next metric, tell them that incoming messages are included with the special $9.99 "Navigator" pack or the $15 unlimited data pack. They may just be dumb enough to believe it and you get paid if someone smarter doesn't figure out what you did within the first 6 months...

Even if it had wifi, the phone would not support downloading an app like Skype. It will only support GIN apps, so you'd be SOL anyhow... And I also don't know why nobody is every willing to pay for any of the services they want to use. The world can't be free.

The thing that shoots down your theory is that every carrier offers the add-a-line option and every rep looking for activations will suggest it to a customer in similar situations. The carriers encourage adding lines any way that is even remotely legit. As long as the customer realizes what they are signing and paying for, its their decision and choice. I sell VZW indirect and since I started in 2004 Sprint has been the carrier that ...

While I was selling a phone and had a bunch of accessories on the counter ready to go, my coworker just told her customer to go her her memory card, card reader, and car charger at RadioShack because its cheaper. My customer looked at me and asked if that was true then decided not to get ANY accessories because she wanted to check the RS price. I even offered a discount but no go. I know ...

It really seems to me like it might be a hardware issue, but they would have to update you to V06 before they would consider a swap. Tell them what's wrong when you take it in. Get the update. If it doesn't fix it, take it back. The FRUs still have warranty and if they keep crapping out, get a Multi-FRU. The Versa seems cool so far...

Yeah. I have suggested many times that when a customer comes in for ANYTHING check the account to see if you can sell them a phone. Look for upgrades, add-a-line, etc, even if they come in asking for a charger, bill pay, etc. Some people don't know what they can get. If they come in for a bill pay, sell them a charger, etc. Look for any way to make money and still help ...

So I at least got some contracts on this morning, but my coworkers are botching EVERYTHING in the door. Customer was eligible for an annual on an aircard. Lost his card. Had insurance. Could have gotten a new card for less than the deductible (after rebate) and the coworker walked them saying insurance was a better deal. Being 3rd party, we would have made a good amount on the deal. A few other ...

I have a coworker who is totally clueless. I mean...literally...clueless. Stares at trainings but never finishes and obviously doesn't retain. Have tried time and time again to help educate the individual. Many people have tried. The manager has simply given up. Nobody will fire this person and nobody knows why. They don't know anything about the phones or plans we sell. They constantly screw things up for customers. They leave ...

I greatly prefer being busy. Day does go by faster. Even if most of the people coming in are there for problems, you might be able to sell them phones, accessories, or features. If nobody comes in, I don't have a chance to try.

The threw a fit and started screaming about customer service. Next guy comes in claiming that corporate is going to give him 2 free storms and extra accessories free as well (not just the ones ...

I've been told by several reps that they can take the number in to the agent line system, but if you leave, you lose the number once they find out you don't work for the agent anymore. So, port in, but no port out. That's what I've been told anyhow. You never really know until you actually see it done.

Unless they drop it on the counter when they come in to return it and crack the screen. Had that happen once. The guy pulled it out of his pocket, dropped in, cracked the screen. He picked it up, looked at it, and said "Well, guess I'm stuck with this, huh?". If I could have taken it back, I would have. Fortunately, he had insurance. Just had to spend several hours a week ...

I obviously see how bitter you are and as a result you are looking for anything you can find to turn into something to complain about. As far as Verizon asking you to call their existing customers to offer data...that doesn't mean they are selling customer info. If a customer gets a call on their cell phone where they are being asked to buy auto insurance because the auto insurance customer bought a customer list from VZW, ...

No offense taken here. It was more about the fact that its a lounge topic and then, let's be honest with ourselves for a moment, the sex comment might offend some of the more moral and upstanding citizens of Shop Talk.

They're spineless because they don't have to deal with them fact to face. They can say whatever they want because they'll probably not be the ones cleaning up the mess. It will be the store reps. The call center reps should have to spend a fair amount of time relying on phone sales for their paycheck before they are allowed to work in call centers. It will harden them up and they will learn the ...

There is or at least was a Motorola training site (mymotorola.com maybe?) that you could order dummy phones from. They were much cheaper than what VZW wanted us to pay. Some were only $5 compared to $35. Recently, my IDR has been able to get me phones. Did you ask your rep? I agree that management sounds harsh, however, they should be going after the morons on the clock when that many dummy phones ...
