Cancelled assoc account!

So a while back i forgot about my $4 cell bill. Phone went off. paid and it went back on. $50 reconnect for both phones. fine. few months later, other user was supposed to pay bill, forgot, phones went off, $50 reconnect fee. fine. At this point i had to pay $200 deposits for both phones, total $400. Also had to setup my account online for autopayment. The my account does not work properly and i had 2 backed out payments. The company worked on this issue for over a week and could not determine the cause. Just have to make payments over the phone. Since two of my payments were backed out because of my account not working the way it should. my assoc account was cancelled, i recieved a written warning. To keep my job I HAVE to setup a consumer ...

Welcome Back Nokia!!

The Nokia 1606 has finally entered user testing and should (hopefully) be available for purchase in December.

While its only a base model phone, I think A LOT of people will be very happy to see the return of Nokia to our lineup.

For once, I'm happy.

So I went to AT&T with my sister to upgrade her phone this weekend.........

SO I went to AT&T with my sister to upgrade her phone this weekend, ok before any of you say anything, my parent's have had AT&T for like 5 yrs and refuse to switch service until they get booted off.
ok, so they have an $18 upgrade fee! HAHA...are you kidding me? Our customer's would FREAK out!! I can't believe that they charge you to upgrade your phone and sign another 2 yr commitment! That's a crock! How many times have I heard well aren't you going to offer me a better deal since I'm a returning customer and I'm resigning another 2 yr commitment?
Also, we went to the location inside best buy, they sell some kind of PSP insurance that is $6.99 a month and it covers water damage, but NOT water submersion. SO basically if you fall ...

Lets get this saturday started!

Thought I would start he day with some funny stuff!

So, on Monday I was standing behind the cash wrap of my store when a lady walks in and starts looking around. I quickly ask what I can help her find and she asks if I carry scissors... 😳 I repeated her request purly because I was dumb founded.

We have two locations in the mall where I work an inline and a kiosk. Saturdays I work at the kiosk. Our kiosk is right in front of customer service so everyone mistakes us for them. Last week I was mid sentence in a sale with a customer when a man blurted out as he walked up can you page someone for me. I told him I would be happy to answer any questions he has as soon as I done. Silly me I figured that he would hear the convo I was havi...

Question... Blackberry Pearl and Plan

I am considering going from a Moto Krzr to a Blackberry Pearl. I am 1 year into my current contract which is the Nat'l 650 plan and unlimited txt. In order to keep the monthly cost down with adding the Blackberry service I would like change to a Wide Area 700 and 750 text messages. What if any impact will that have on my current two-year agreement? Will I need to sign a new two-year agreement or can I?

I also have a question regarding the Blackberry and its EV-DO capability. I live in Central Iowa where we do not have EV-DO. Fast forwarding to the day it does become available in this area... is the Pearl capable to use EV-DO? I have a minimal understanding of the EV-DO anyway, so if my Blackberry or any phone for that did or did ...

Question about getting out of Contract?

First of all I am Beyondmygrestness's brother, I'm just using his account to ask this question.

I just resigned my USCC contract(I had no choice I needed a new phone, and I was available for an upgrade) Well, I got the LG UX-300, well in my contract it says we offer a 30 day gaurantee where we can return the product, and get out of the contract without the ETF. Does the apply to me? I'm not pleased with this phone/service. So since I re-signed can I take my phone back and get out of the contract?

What is U.S Cellular planning?

The Verizon Wireless acquisition of Alltel should be an opportunity for U.S. Cellular considering Verizon reportedly plans to divest 85% of Alltel's pops to gain approval for the 'merger'. If U.S. Cellular has serious plans to grow, then surely they have to be a player.

Texting Increase -- September 1

In an effort to show customers just how much they are appreciated, USCC has already successfully taken away the best phone promo we've ever run (BAGA) and reinstated the awesome $30 activation fee in most markets, but they are now taking it one step further to really show the customers what they think of them.

Effective Sept 1, pay as you go texting will increase from $0.20 per outgoing message to $0.25

Also, unlimited family texting will go from its current price of $19.95 to $24.95/month. Thankfully they've decided that anyone on the $19.95 plan will be able to keep it, so if you are hesitating right now, get in and signed up before Sept 1 or pay the price with everyone else.

This company sucks more every single day. Mythos is a...

U.S. Cellular problem?

I have the White LG UX 260, I've only had it for 4 months, I just signed with USCC in May. Well I had to send the phone back 5 weeks after I got it, well they had my phone, for over 7 weeks, then I get it back and its still messed up with the same sound problem, so I called the lady and they said they replaced the screen and thats not even what I sent it in for, so they sent it in again had to get another loaner, and now its back and its still not fixed!!! The sound still isn't working, and the U.S. Cellular people just keep telling me to send it back, well I'm sick of sending the phone back, is there anything I can do, they won't give me a new phone, unless I use my insurance, I never had this problem with Verizon, I'm almost ready to switc...
