OMG! Cingular's DEAD! A SMOKING CRATER, I say!!!

Sorry about the subject header... I'm just trying to emulate the style of a particular Verizon forum-goer who repeatedly insists that Verizon is 'in trouble' because their ARPU (Avg Revenue Per User) went down last quarter, while ignoring the fact that Cingular's ARPU declined by more than twice as much (which, following his reasoning, must surely be a sign of the apocalypse):

[Verizon's] Average monthly revenue per user (ARPU), a closely watched measure of financial health in wireless, was $50.32, down from $51.58 in the third quarter up from $49 a year earlier.

Cingular, a venture of SBC Communications and BellSouth, surpassed Verizon in size by buying AT&T Wireless in October but Cingular's ARPU fell 5.8 percent in the fourth qua

Phoenix,
We know that Kingfrog is not a Cingular employee. I doubt you guys would hire him. It has been kind of nice on the Verizon forum since both sides have decided to wage peace as much as is possible. I have been reading posts on the Cingular and T-Mobile forum and they have been more or less quiet as well
And for the idiotic Verizon people who go to the other forums and creating havoc we apologize.

Oh, even I'd hire him for that. I'd also broaden the parameters of the job...such as what happens when you hold your handset over your head while on the roof in the middle of a raging lightening storm.

Oh Plueeeze......Anyone with a HS education can get a job selling wireless..the turnover is huge and it's painfully evidant just anyone has, judging by the reps here and those in the Verizon Stores in particular....LOL...Dont kid yourselves boys. The industry is publicly perceived just above Used car sales and below timeshare sales LOL.

All you guys seem to be able to do is entertain yourselves making painfully weak attempts at humiliation of me and others who call you out.

Really?

Then why the tired personal insult and responses.

Why not ignore this ignorant person entirely?

Why not refute my statement with fact....Wireless sales jobs are easy to get and have no appreciable tenure. Why? Becasue its a job, not a career.

Anyone can do it and the training is weak as my experience in talking with them and many of you reveals. Anyone with an internet connection can run circles around your average wireless sales rep .

Verizon happpens in my experience to be the LEAST educated bunch regarding the technology..thus their constant bashing of the competition and spouting off Consumer Reports as if the very name should sell the product..Well those glory days are over and you are going to have to answer some...

to be hired by VZW, you need much more experience than a high school diploma. thats probably why our retail reps earn between $50k and $80k a year.

Nah... your rampant unpopularity has nothing to do with having valid or invalid arguments. Unpopular folks always tell themselves things like "Everyone hates me because I'm so cool" or "so right" or "so special" etc. etc. 🙄

But everyone else knows its just a form of denial. As in, an inability to admit when one is unpopular simply because they're a jerk.
