Nov 10, 2008, 12:57 PM
in the Verizon forum

you can look up coverage here http://www.bell.ca/support/PrsCSrvWls_Cvg_Tra vel.page she will not need a world phone. The prices for current basic family plans that include coverage in canada are $20 a month above what a consumer would pay for a plan covering the USA. Best of luck as you decide which service would be the cheapest.

I'm with ya :). totally worth it for me; as a consumer, yea, it still kinda sucks, but when they streamlined the process in feb/march, that helped alot.

eh, you're prolly right....I don't plan on being in cell phones too much longer, so it won't affect me much :)

in the Shop Talk forum

same plans, retail cost of phones, deposits still applicable, I believe.... basically another feather in the hat of the "most open" network. Not something that alot of people will take advantage of; reps still have 180 day chargeback on the minimal commissions from the plans.

sooooo, you enabled stupidity. I'm not a call center rep, so I can't speak to what horrors y'all go through on a daily basis, so don't spike me on that. All I can relte to is the stupidity enabling; I make it a point to go over fees, and if the cust is too stupid to understand, they're too stupid. Either way, IMO, you made it 100 times harder on the next rep he calls when he gets ...

Re: Any news on Samsung i770 and Treo 800w for Verizon?
Sep 24, 2008, 1:28 PM
in the Rumor Mill forum

doubt that, the treo pro (800w) is at Sprint, and Sprint has a 6 month exclusive contract with Palm. No dice for a little while on that, and the predecessor to the i760, the i730, was out for long time prior to the 760 coming around. Windows smartphones for Verizon aren't a hot commodity right now; I'm seeing mostly BB's go out the door.

I would go with answer #2.

wondered that myself, actually
Sep 11, 2008, 12:20 PM
in the Shop Talk forum

and no, I've not sought out the correct answer, b/c, as my friend up there has said, all sources are certain about their version. which may or may not be true; they don't care, b/c you couldn't get the same person on the phone again calling either company unless your luck is AMAZING. or unless your # has been flagged, and they route you back.

Re: Anyone know of a calcualtor for taxes and shuch?
Aug 8, 2008, 1:25 PM
in the Verizon forum

usually 12-17%, depends on the state you're in. there are lotsa ways to do it, I usually enter the calling plan total, then multiply by 1.12 or whatever you feel like for the taxes. hope that helps!

the same thing, beat him at his own game? if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em. not the most ethical thing to do, but when/if he whines about it, turn it back to him and tell him that's what he's been doing to the rest of ya.

Re: Need info on FRU devices!!!
Jul 23, 2008, 4:25 PM
in the Shop Talk forum

you were surprised? most reps know ONLY enough to ring up the devices, no more. those that answer the phones sometimes just do that... I've had numerous time calling as a "custie" asking for information, and most of the time have had to spell out slowly what it was I was after, even tho I'm indirect, and sell the same stuff.

so, no return? after he messed up the phone, no possibility for a return. what is the chargeback period for RS, like 30 days? too bad for that, you still got paid.

Jul 16, 2008, 12:45 PM
in the Shop Talk forum

hey, as we were told, the $200 plan is a retention only plan. I WISH we could aggressively market this, this fiasco would get us lynched in a new york minute. the absurdity of it all is classic, and exactly what VZW has gotten away with in the past. Least they lowered their overages from .50 to .25 across the board. still sucks for people who are abusing it tho. and all those stinkin' ...

Re: phone book transfers
Jul 15, 2008, 5:51 PM
in the Shop Talk forum

if they didn't buy from us, it's $10. we can do pics as well, and my managers say and EXTRA $10 for that, so.... $20 for pics and contacts. that raises a few eyebrows/voices. I recently switched markets, tho, and my new market has alot more CS, and since there's a stiff competition between the stores, I don't charge nearly as often as I would in my other market, just to differentiate my stores from others.

Re: Question for VZW Indirect reps...
Jul 15, 2008, 5:05 PM
in the Shop Talk forum

I've definitely had this problem. They say there needs to be a trouble ticket written up for it, but with the "success" of other trouble tickets, and the limited nature of our communication with those that can actually help, it's not really worth it

depending on the region, my account manager sent out a notice this morn that GIN was down, and some wireless sync issues were being reported. prolly not the exact answer, but similar, hopefully.

Re: Alltel and VZW Agents, What is in it for us Alltel Agents Merging In?
Jul 12, 2008, 4:01 PM
in the Verizon forum

not to rock the boat being built, but one thing is alltell will TRULY have nation-wide coverage and service. that's a huge plus. my two cents? My Circle is going away; as well as any extended nights alltell had. I do think that those currently on those plans will be grandfathered in, but when their phones break, they will be forced, just as AT&T custies were back in the day, over to Big Red's side ...

I meant to say that when I booted it up initially to look at it, it set the language to spanish, and I can't find the language option in preferences.
