2) same as above, but if i just speed dial 1, does this waste minutes?

1) not sure. It's supposed to, but you'd have to look at the bill and see what it says.
2) yes, it does use minutes. In some markets, it wasn't always this way, but now it is.

2) unless you have a free mtm b/c the # stored under 1 is considered a cingluar number (or it is at least for the carolinas/dcs market)

1) yes
2) yes
Whether you do speed dial 1, or call your own phone number, your call gets redirected to a landline based voicemail service number, which is not considered a mobile to mobile call.
All your voicemails are stored on massive servers which are accessed via this number.

Good information. I've told customers something along this line-but now I have better "verbage" 😉
...
Maybe my billing is messed up in my favor (not complaining about that 🙂 ), but I just checked last month's statement and all my calls to voicemail are listed as my moble # and are billed as mobile to mobile (even though I call into the voicemail server to check it). Same thing on the month before it.
...
If you don't mind (I wont tell on you, don't worry) e-mail me and I'd like the check into that. I'm always in to finding loopholes 😎

My service is out of mkt 35 (Carolinas/DCS). The vm number I use is 704-778-9989 (it's a Charlotte, NC area code). I looked @ some older bills, and through last summer my call detail showed calls to check vm as that number, but were billed w/ the M (for mobile) feature code. Then last fall calls into voicemail began showing up as my number, but were still billed w/ the M code.
As of the time I quit working for Cingy 2 years ago, all customers' calls into that number (and the server number for the previous vm platform) were always billed as mtm. I don't recall how other markets/their vm server numbers were billed, though. I do know that mkt 35 was always a little different (it uses the crappy 1900 band, up until about 2 years ago, acc...

I never had verizon. I would never go to CDMA, having a sim card makes it all worthwile.
and verizon's crippled phones suck

The fact that they cripple their phones suck..yes..
And the fact that they are disabling/shutting down networks according to PRL Intrepretations also sucks. (Maybe thats why T-Mobile can claim more coverage than VZW)
The sim cards are awesome...no need to pay to backup your contact lists..or have them backed up on some seperate server. The backup is still useful..just in case you loose the sim..but with bluetooth file transfers..you could possibly do that yourself..for free.

just somethingto keep in mind, the backup assistant download is free is your signed up on my account on verizonwireless.com, i know this is something that should be posted in the verizon forum, but i still like to check out to competitors forum, and i came accross this and thought you should know that its free now
