Well, today I was doing some overtime, and within a 4 hour time frame, I upgraded 6 phones, and had requests for 5 new activations (mostly add-ons). Not that this has never happened before, but 2 of the add-ons were customers of which one was currently employed by verizon wireless and the other with nextel (and they made a point of telling me that). I think all but one person I spoke with said something to the effect of being surprised by T-Mobile; that they were expecting less when they signed up, but are now telling everyone about us etc...not just today have I heard that, it's becoming increasingly more common of a statement, even when I get calls from non T-Mobile customers just asking general questions....Especially now, I speculate eve...

Once again Ming, you have opened your mouth to release a bunch of slop.

I'm glad you feel that way Biz.

I too have been doing some OT on the phones and it has indeed surprised the hell out of me how much people enjoy T-Mobile service. I mean, I talk the talk and walk the walk myself, but still have my reservations about the company. But these people are so nice and can't stop saying how much they love our service, our custoemr care, and just about everything else about the company. With all of the competetion out there, I truly believe T-Mobile is at the heart of it all.

Yep I've noticed it too. Especially in the last couple weeks. Dont know if its holiday madness, or the word is finally reaching the ears! 🤣 Way to go, btw, on your awesome sales day yesterday!! Our comission for renewal/upgrades is hardly worth the trouble, so I hope yours is better! (Dont get me wrong, I'll take 10 bucks over NO bucks any day, but Id rather do the new acts. 😉 )

Heh, didn't mean to be rude.

I brought back a 6230 as it isn't available on Tmobile. Only available on Cingular I believe?

Home is Germany/Turkey.

Would that be Nokia 6230? Have not seen it available on Cingular's service. Is it a multi-band GSM phone? How many bands and which ones does it entertain?

Thanks!

Oops! My bad. Just went to Cingular's website and saw it. One drawback why I wouldn't get it is that it doesn't accomodate the 900 MHz frequency, which is what is used in Asia. If I should ever travel back and want to use my phone their then this would be a big disadvantage.

Kein problem 🙂 Es tut mir leid, meinem deutsch schlect ist, aber habe ich viele vergesst. Im jahre 96' war ich ein auschtauch schueler im deutschland, und auch osterreich. Dann, habe ich ins der Vereinigte Staaten nach gekommt, und wenig leute wissen deutsch sprechen. So, verstehe ich wenig, aber nicht genug. Ich mege der 6230, sehr schon! Ja, wirklich, Cingular hatte kosten im telephonen gute. Jedoch, wo ist ipaq, sidekick, BB7100? Plannen auch sind kostspeilig. Unser planen sich leisten konnen. Unser ausrustung (auswahl) ist nicht schlect, wirhlich.

Hmmm... Where do you work? Just recently I switched myself and fiance over to T-Mobile. I was on Verizon Wireless, plus I work there (Indirect channel, store manager) and my fiance is on Cingular, but was on the TDMA network.

We at first went to Cingular, she lost her phone... They said even though she is like 3 and a half months away from upgrade and is on the old TDMA network they could not switch her over without signing up for another 2 years yatta yatta, I know the drill I do it all day, but for that we'd have to see the manager and he wasn't there so I just said screw it, I'm never going 2 yr again... Not to mention the fact I wanted to add a line for myself once she got onto their GSM... Didn't happen though and we left.

We we...

Though this is the first I've heard about this, I would also like to point out the very last sentence in that statement, which says "T-Mobile USA will begin rolling out EDGE in selected markets next year." Possibly not have it completed for 2 years, I don't know. You'd think employees would find out first, but I'll be darned if it was a first for me.

The point I was trying to make about our Hotspot service and Edge, not that I was comparing the two, you can't, is that this is just one example of solutions T-Mobile does indeed provide, and nobody else does.

The difference, my friend, between Wi-Fi and Edge, is that Wi-Fi is a high speed local area LAN interoperable with devices that support an 802.11mb data card. http://www.webopedi...

Dude, I knew about EDGE since July and I work for T-Mobile too.

I'll say it one more time, 2005 will be lovely for T-Mobile, even with the competition having to merge and be bought-out!

I'm sorry, that wasnt directed at anyone specifically, so please don't take anything I say personally.
