A2DP capable phones.
It's been a while since I've been in the industry so I don't really know what's out there anymore.
What phones does Verizon offer that support A2DP (stereo) bluetooth profile?
I have the Juke now and I am really starting to hate this phone.
Re: Apparently I'm rude?
I hate people like that. I had a phone call like that.
M- (halfway through the opening schpiel)
C- (interupting) HELLO?
M- Yes?
C- Do you have PCS?
M- I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean (PCS is a generic term for cell phones if you don't know)
C- Do you have PCS?
heard ya the first time, still don't know wtf you want)
M- I'm sorry, what do you mean by PCS?
C- PCS! MetroPCS!
M- Sir, we are a Verizon dealer.
C- So do you ...
New idea.
I know you've got a laundry list of improvements to make to the sight but I'd like to offer a suggestion that (as far as I've seen) hasn't been done yet.
On the list of recent posts from a specific user (or just when viewing your own posts) add a little box (right justified) under that post with the following reply (assuming there is one) or maybe even a counter that tells you how many replies to that message there ...
Re: Is that light I see at the end of this tunnel?
Monday!
My current company has made every effort to screw me over as often as possible, so I have little remorse for only giving a 4 day notice.
Re: Time to pay up!
VZW and AT&T are steadily gaining customers every quarter... they gotta be coming from somewhere.
Re: To evilhomer
This deserved a new thread?
Besides that, what he said is essentially true. Any wireless provider cannot preform well without the assistance and roaming agreements of other providers.
Re: Time to pay up!
He said the day "Sprint" goes under, I think you misunderstood.
Re: I have a question for the class...
Look at it like this, worst case scenario: You lose 1 customer.
It's worth a shot.
Re: Is that light I see at the end of this tunnel?
You might be right, I've "left" the wireless industry 3 times now and kept getting sucked back in.
It's like a bad rash, as soon as you thinks it gone... BAM, herpes.
:paranoid:
Is that light I see at the end of this tunnel?
Yes! It is!
I'm outta the wireless industry!!!
7 longs years... and I'm finally done (I'm getting a weird deja vu feeling on this one) with the wireless industry!
I got hired at a loan institution as assistant manager so BYE BYE cell phones.
And, of course, thank you all for your entertaining stories to help pass the time away (especially Nikoletta).
:D :D :D
and... :P
Re: Time to pay up!
Did you read the story?
It's money Sprint OWES to Verizon.
Verizon's just filing suit on them before they slip past the statute of limitations and not have to pay.
Re: so...
There was a vote some time ago to bring on 3 new smilies. A puking smilie was on the list (which was actually what prompted the additions) but ultimately :-)... :paranoid: and /;| won in the end.
Rich has said they don't really have plans to worry about adding smilies any time soon.
Phone finder suggestion
It would be helpful (maybe not for all but some) so offer bluetooth profiles in the weighted section of the phone finder.
For example, I'm trying to find all VZW phones that offer A2DP, but I can't filter it that way so I have to go through each bluetooth capable phones (which is ALOT) and check them individually.
Re: LG Dare - Vx-9700
90% of the time that means they don't know.
I work for Verizon and I haven't the foggiest idea. Half the time we don't know something's coming until it's here.
Re: I wanna' talk to the CEO!
When I get somebody who says they just talked to HQ I ask who they spoke with.
C- "I just spoke with your headquarters and they said... (insert rediculous claim here)"
M- "Oh yeah? WHo did you speak with, was is James Bronson? (or whatever random name pops up in my head)"
C- "Yeah, that was the guy"
M- "Oh, because nobody by that name works here"
Re: Co-Workers
Yeah, if she's a consistant poor worker than a report is definately in order.
Re: Co-Workers
If it's a constant thing, yes, definately.
I've taken a nap on company time before and permitted my co-worker the same amenity. However, that's a once every 6 months kind of thing and neither of us are the stay out late and complain all day type.
Re: Account remarks...
They do have the right to cancel his contract and charge him an ETF for that.
It's nice to see somebody put their foot down and punished him rather than shut up and take it like usual.
Re: Online with VW Episode 6: Unlimitedly
That's exactly what I was thinking, I don't think QA would be too pleased with the lols. :lol:
Re: Hacking Phonescoop??
If your company could be easily hacked by just discovering the IP address you need a new IT guy. :lol:
Theoretically, it's possible for a sight to get hacked and your IP obtained, but there are easier ways to get IPs than that. And many hackers use IP sniffers which randomly choose IPs.
I'd say it's smoke, or he really needs to go back to school.
Re: Self-admitted Grammar Nazi's - UNITE!
I'll admit I am the same way. I've, more or less, gotten used to it because that's the way it is. I sure as hell don't like it though. It makes me wonder how they talk in real life.
Re: I needed to rant
I have a personal policy when it comes to that. If you're on the phone in my store I can't see you.
I will not even acknowledge the person has entered my store until they get off the phone and I will happily skim past them to help the person behind them not talking on their phone.
It's rude and disrespectful, if I ever have a need to be on the phone while in the store I won't approach the register ...
Re: Do you...
Could be worse. My company have no problem making it known that if you don't have a certain last name you'll never advance.
Which is evident by the saleman who's been here 11 years and doesn't have anything more than the employee that started last week (other than vacation days).

Prissy Kuntz

Re: Loosing your kool with customers
I've lost my cool a few times. Generally I'll only do it in a situation where I know it won't blow back in my face.
The most recent one was a customer wanted a 1 GB micro-sd card. I was out of stock. His response was "Well what the **** good are you then?!" as he got in my face.
I said to him "Everything except what the **** you want, now get out of my store."
Probably not the brightest thing ...
Re: Indirect Dealers, Be Real For 1 Second Please........
My particular indirect dealer has been in business selling phones since 1984, installing car phones. So, I don't think they'll be tanking after 24 years of being successful.
Only the poorly run ones will tank.
Re: Online with VW Episode 3: Down On The Farm
Hilarious! Keep 'em coming.
I had a water bottle in my purse and... (long and rantish)
So, we all know how that sentence ends. Anyway, this brat teenager comes in and that's the first thing she says.
I pull up the account and see she's not eligible to upgrade but has insurance so I say "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, you're not eligible to upgrade."
At this point it becomes "check the other lines" which the soonest line is 2 weeks away. Then the girl launches into this tirade about how ...
Re: People Don't Listen
Apparently, people don't read either. :lol:
As a DirecTV subscriber, I'd just like to say...
Sweet.
There have been many times I've been out and I'll hear a commercial on the radio and want to record it. I always forget by the time I'm home.
Re: Another Stupid Question....
"Ok, there's a $50 deductible with that"
Problem solved. :D
Re: Worst thing you've said to a customer
Having dealt with many rude customers over the years I generally just bite my tongue and don't say anything. This particular lady was a smartass from the get go so I remained completely silent during the transaction breaking the silence only to inform her of her total.
At the end of the transaction I handed her the bag without saying a word and she, loudly, says "What, you can't even tell me to have a nice day? You're F'in ...
Re: Nasty Phone Glitch
I had to look a few times before I caught it. It's pretty subtle. I probably would've never caught it had I not been looking for it.

Re: Most wastefull, senceless product of the week
This country's over protectiveness when it comes to germs will be the death of it. It's sad how everything has to be sanitized and germ free. It's not natural, your body has to encounter germ to learn how to fight them.
Arg, that crap annoys me!
Re: Has no one heard of
That's actually what I went and bought when I got the grease on me.
Re: ah #%$#
One day I went to Wendy's for lunch and got a triple. I was eating the burger and a steady stream of grease dripped out the side of the wrapper and by the time I noticed I had a good series of grease blotches all around the crotch of the pants and they were light color khakis. :roll:
I extended my lunch and ran to the nearest department store.

Am I the only person who's ever seen this movie?
Re: canadian bacon
Ok, what about Strange Brew?
Re: Peace out, my Nizzies
After 4 months of not being heard from you post to say you're leaving. lol I though you were already gone.
Congrats on the new job though.
Re: POS Systems
I completely.... disagree.
I hate cellular manager. There's too many damn screens to go through. At my last store we had a POS the IT guy actually made himself. It's was a little buggy (random error messages that didn't mean anything or even affect anything) but it was by far better than this pile.
