Re: so when I cant cal 911..
Agree here with everyone - public transportation (buses, trains) are all motor vehicles under the code. What if you're a passenger? Now you can't use the phone? Ridiculous approach here. Great point here about emergency calls too, both the 911 and calls to daycare.
Distracted driving can occur from drinking the morning coffee, singing (or yelling) at the radio for songs playing or dropping something on the floor of the car. While yes it's sad ...
Re: Interesting Move for Samsung
If the U340 is the Snap, will the upgrad of this be the U350 BROKE??? :? :lol: :?
Re: 11 Confessions of a T-Mobile Sales Rep
That's not true. Maybe for prepaid phones.
I had bought my phone on an upgrade with a discount for being a good customer and had 90 days continuous service and was able to have my phone unlocked.
Re: Customer service rep...
Believe it or not this happens often from cust serv. There have been times when I've gone over my minutes and called Cust serv and they say they'll give me courtesy minutes to cover it for 'being a dedicated customer' only to find that when it went to the next level of support to activate these free minutes they can't help me with my overage. I was all set to accept the overage just looking into options ...
Re: phone signal with tmobile
I don't know what you ended up doing but mourer is right. Based on when the phone was made, they had soldering problems which the internal antenna ends up crapping out. It took me 2 weeks of insistent calls and finally getting to a tech who handled this. Mine crapped out in August.
If it's that they WILL replace it at no charge to you less shipping and handling since you have a 1 year warranty on ...
Re: Dash for Cingular?
Here's a novel concept - T-Mobile LICENSING Cingular to use there phone - in essence - selling them the phone. It will generate revenue for them albeit a small amount.
Hmmmm.....
Re: Three Points: Audio Cable; USB; Thx to DrKnute
I haven't seen one either as I'm looking for one too. If I find one, will let you know.
Good Luck

So would they let me buy that phone at that low retai price.?
Are you kidding me? Here's a novel concept - ASK THEM!
It sounded to me it was perfectly clear - buy the phone retail or sign a 2 year agreement. Sounds very transparent to me...
Re: Three Points: Audio Cable; USB; Thx to DrKnute
Regarding Question 2 - it has to be your PC. I've been able to toggle between file manager with no problem (Menu-9-USB Settings). Ensure you hook the cable to your phone before you hook it up to your PC. Other than that, it's your PC not being able to recognize the USB drive,
Regarding changing slide and message tones, I've yet to see anyway you can change it. I'm not sure but I think the T629 ...
Re: in-store phone exchange question
Glad I can help. I'm not a phone expert but it's something I stumbled on. Actually I had a motorolla. I found to change the profile that's what I needed to do or increase/decrease the volume of the ring tone. I tried with this one and voila, got the white screen with the time/date 8)
I turn on the voice notes all the time. :roll:
Re: Coming to a Cingular Store near you!
Doubtful. The article stated it's a Europe Tri-Band (900/1800/1900) meaning it won't work for Cingular, which uses the 850 Band.
Re: in-store phone exchange question
Actually I found with the predecessor, the T809, if you hold the up or down on the volume with the slide closed after ~2-4 seconds a white screen with the time and date will pop as well as the signal strength. I'm guessing the T629 will be able to do that as well.
Also, uncerstand the issue with opening up the slider, I hit my thumb on the multi-function pad all the time.
Re: GSM Paying
I've received many international calls on my phone while stationed in the US. You pay for AIRTIME (you get charged minutes). As for payment of the call, I've received calls from Ireland on a regular basis. The caller pays for the call, you get charged airtime. If you call using a T-Mobile SIM card, you get charged airtime plus the cost of the call. If you roam, then you add in roaming charges whether ...
Re: Overseas User
I live in Singapore and am currently in the US. I've used this phone and the t809 in Singapore with no problem.
BUT
T-Mobile has a SIM lock on the phone. To use it with a local SIM card in Singapore (Singtel, Starhub, etc) you'll have get it unlocked.
Re: T809 Display Icon
I had that issue too. You have to cancel the alarm. Also if you set the alarm to go off a couple of days ahead of the birthday, it will be on until the event passes.
Re: 1gig memory card
Finally! Thank you.
t809 discontinued?
I recently went online to see the new phones T-mobile had and realised the T809 is no longer listed.
Has T-Mobile dropped/discontinued this phone?
Re: Anyone's T809 have issues with sticky slider and tinny audio
I periodically have this problem too. It's the track that the slider runs on. you have to ensure it's free of any dirt/dust. It' will stick if not used in a while but after that, no problem. This is my second one. I had the problem on both phones.
Re: Samsung T809 Bluetooth
I've used
Samsung WEP200 - no static
Motorola HS850 - static
Sony Ericsson HBH-660 - no static
With the motorola I found if you keep it away from the radio in the car and if you have direct line of site between the headset and the phone, the static decreases.
Where are you keeping your phone when you have your headset active??

I do hope I win
Re: Coverage?
Given that buildings are created differently (frame work, support columns, concrete, rebar, foundations the list goes on) there is NO way any carrier can predict the service you will receive in a building. Also if you are in a multi floor building, where do they calculate the signal strength? It's extremely difficult to do this and then when their assessment is better than the reception you are receiving, what's the next question that will come up...that the ...
Re: Frequencies
I lived in Thailand and was able to connect with DTAC with my v600, which was a quad band. If you are using DTAC, it depends what area of Thailand you are in. I was working in Bangkok and was able to connect to DTAC in Phuket. I was NOT able to in koh Samui and was transferred to AIS (900 band). If you are in the North near Chang Mai, I heard DTAC works ...
Re: Phone Upgrade
It's funny that one exclaims the T809 is similar to talking into a credit card yet the t509 was a recommendation. They are basically same size and shape.
Given that I have a T809 and don't recommend it for bluetooth connection. If you are looking for a clamshell, I'd agree go with the Nokia 6103.
Re: Unlocked SLVR with T-Mobile?
I have an unlocked phone that I use when with T-Mobile when I'm not traveling overseas. I've not had problems with them locking it. Have done so for 2 years now.
Re: Looking to leave T-Mobile...Need Input about the Competitor Carriers
sunilsonia said:
Some honorable feedback in answer t oyour question......
Like me, there might be a few people on here who maybe disappointed with T-Mobile to some extent or other. Trust me, had T-Mobile acted honorably in helping me out with my dilemma as posted in the "Issues with T-Mobile PDA Support Group! Especially with the BB 7105T!!" posting, then I would be thinking differently today. Perhaps before demonstrating haste on the matter of whether I am posting ...
Re: August Giveaway #2: Samsung T509
I hope I win. My screen was recently cracked while I was traveling. :x
Re: Looking to leave T-Mobile...Need Input about the Competitor Carriers
Let me understand this...you post on a T-Mobile forum looking for competitor feedback for your looking to leave T-Mobile.
Did you consider posting on a competitor's forum? Do you really think you are going to receive honest information from people who are a) interested in T-Mobile or b) looking for answers about T-mobile issues.
Sorry I'm not providing you feedback but I question if you have the correct forum page to correctly answer what you are looking for.
Re: T mobile?
While both Cingular and T-Mobile both have the RAZR, Cingular has the SLVR and T-Mobile has the PEBL.
Right now it's pure speculation who, if any, will sell this.
Re: FULL-LENGTH MP3 AS RINGTONES - A SURE-THING!
Worked. For me, knowing I had to have a .mp3 as my ringtone before I changed to one was a key.
Thanks
Re: T809 Keypad Question
Mine does too. The LED is just under the 5 & 7 key. I've not seen this as a big deal. But if you do return it, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw it on the replacement.
Re: Buying a Phone Overseas
Good Luck and enjoy Korea. I sincerely hope some of my input had helped.
Re: Buying a Phone Overseas
And this is why all my statements start with I BELIEVE.
Try helping the poor chap out rather than trying to pick apart what I said. Or everyone else for that matter.
Re: Buying a Phone Overseas
I believe they are on a CDMA network band similar to GSM in the region - 900MHz. And if I'm not mistaken, similar to GSM phones you need a world phone which has the capability between 850 MHz and 900 MHz. I believe this is why Sprint and Verizon force you to buy through them...you need to know how to program your phone to meet their requirements. I'm sure there are sites which you can find ...
Re: T-Mobile phone won't auto update time for DST...
It changed. My Samsung T809 has it.
Re: T-Mobile phone won't auto update time for DST...
Out2L8 said:
That's what he said! The dates will change to make the DST period longer.
Right now it's the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October
Starting in 2007, it will be observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. This will add about a month to daylight saving time.
Exactly that is precisely what was said.
Technically though DST is still observed 1x a year whether or not the time period is extended. ...
SUNK
For the summer months and water enthusiasts, Motorolla comes out with SUNK.
Completely waterproof, to be used only in the water. So for those who enjoy frollicing in the water, you can make calls 2 feet under water. Sure! just let the air out and talk. The phone is completely encased (similar to car batteries) so when the battery dies, so does the phone.
A phone name which matches the price you pay for it - SUNK!
Re: Buying a Phone Overseas
From my recollection, Korea uses a CDMA network. I did do some ventures to Hong Kong and you can get GSM unlocked phones there that are as you correctly state, released earlier than here in the US, and find that when the product is first released here (if it does) it goes for the same price inially than what I paid overseas (given currency exchange). Thus, I would seriously consider buying a phone in those markets. ...
Re: T-Mobile phone won't auto update time for DST...
My T809 when set on the auto update did update for DST. I'm not sure exactly if it's T-Mo's problem, your tower or your phone.
Good Luck
