New Activation Questions

I just received my phone that I ordered on the VZW website. I got a free Samsung 410 with a two year contract. The phone is cheap and the screen is too small. I am going to activate my Mom's old LG 8600 on the new line instead. Can I return the phone to the store or do I need to send it by FedEx. I want to have the contract changed to a one year and my upgrade date changed so I can get a phone when I want one since I won't be getting a new phone now. Does anyone know the policy? I am in SC.

Motorola Q

My sister has the Motorola Q and she is due for an upgrade. Now she has already tried the BB Curve and didnt seem to like it. She was looking to get a Windows Mobile Phone but isnt sure whats good. Can someone suggest something for her. She is a lawyer so obviously something with calendar to keep appointments is good too?

Thanks

When will Verizon Update their Smartphones?

I have been waiting and waiting for Verizon to update their PDA/Smartphone lines for some time now. Well, actually since my account became eligible for new every 2.

I currently have a Treo 700w with WinMobile 5, which has been good but not good enough for me to stay with Palm products. Freeze ups and resets, unable to sync with my laptop, are just 2 issues I believe are basic and should not be a problem for any phone.

Software and such aside, when will Verizon update their offering?

(note: i am not a blackberry fan)

New Blackberry Storm News!

Ok,

So its just images of the box. But some new detais have emerged. Mainly, the phone will be known as the storm and not the thunder. Although the thunder name might still be used out of the United States.

Also, the phone will include an 8GB Sd card, which I thought was pretty cool.

Projected release date is still early to mid October, but that is not official and prolly subject to change.

Enjoy the new pics/info

Premium SMS

I hate premium SMS!!! It seems like everyday I get atleast 2 calls from irate customers because they notice these pesky charges on their bills. Although in the early days I rarely issued credits for these things lately I've adopted a 100% credit practice if the customer just has one or two.

To me VZW approaches premium sms in a very unethical way, atleast with regards to what we as reps are supposed to do when a customer calls about them. The "official" policy is that you just tell the customer how to unsubscribe and that's that. Of course most reps will gladly (and immediately) offer the premium sms blocks although the policy states otherwise. I can see VZW getting slammed in a courtroom (just like AT&T) by a crafty class action law...

A Question about City ID

Is the new service feature on LG Voyager City ID just an enhanced caller ID feature as described by cust svr. Or is it data driven in where I would occur data charages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BB Storm vs Curve

Besides the whole touch screen aspect, what functionality will the Storm have that the Curve will lack? I'm not big on touch screens, but I might be willing to ditch my Curve if it performs that much better. If this is a stupid question, please don't light my ass up. I'm obvoiusly a noob.

Screw the Blackberry Storm

Give up people. Just give up. In a year, the blackberry storm will be what the pearl is now. old. and nothing cool anymore. forget about looking for news about the storm. woo hoo. hooray, you'll know stupid things about it before it even comes out. great. you're stuck with news you can't use. it'll just make the phone not as cool when you actually get it. what a pointless waste of time. hundreds of pages and replies about it. you know what? screw the iphone and whatever other stupid phone you think is cool. keep dreaming. stop wasting readers' times.

anyway, i can't wait until my cuzin gets it so i can play with it! 🤣

Helpful CS, THANKS

I contacted VZW CS through my handset late in the evening on Sat. I recently activated a Treo I bought from eBay and the new VM indicator was stuck ON. I tried everything I could think of, including toggling the notification in the VM system and a hard re-set of the device.

What I didn't try was toggling the VM indicator off, soft reset, toggling on and then soft reset. When I called CS they re-provisioned my VM account with no success. A call back got me to the data support people (they have helpful people there after 6 on a Saturday?!), they suggested the toggle/reset/toggle/reset which had not been previously suggested. It worked.

Thanks again...
