email to tx msg not working

Is anyone else having this problem? I did a brief search and could not find anything.

Suddenly, I cannot send an email to a friend's or even my Verizon phone. I am doing the same thing I have always done. phone [email protected] They always come back failed. Remote host said: 550 SMTP connection refused

I am sending short message with plain text from two different ISPs.

If I go to Verizon's website, I can send a txt msg.

anyone?

New firmware for XV6800 coming anytime soon?

Does anyone know when VZW is going to release firmware that enables Rev A, and more importantly, fixes the BT issues with it not working with Voice Command?

Thank you!

Gregg

Just Ordered my curve...

So I took everyone's advice on here and finally ordered the curve. Unfortunately I have an employee account and will be waiting for 2 weeks for the Employee Phone Team to process my order... 🙄 At least I am getting it though. I have been playing w/ it at work everyday in anticipation. Any cool application ideas when I get the phone?

Why?

When did this whole forum change so much? I used to be able to come in here and read interesting information. Now it's just people dogging Verizon, or calling each other trolls, or just plain complaining. What happened to the interesting information that I used to find? Is anyone else as sick of this as I am?

Pricing

How does VZW pricing compare with other carriers in your area? VZW has the reputation of being expensive. Does it cost all that much more than the most prevalent carrier in your area?

Adding an Individual Plan to Existing Plan

My father has an Individual Plan with VZW. I will be joining AT&T and he will be paying for it. It says you can add a new line by adding an Individual Plan. If we do this, will he be able to see the calls that I make, etc? Will I have access to see the calls that I make online with my own "My Verizon" account? Thanks.


Also, in the future, if I wanted to make it so it was just MY account, will I be able to do that?

Dear Customer: THIS JUST IN THE PHONES DO NOT WORK EVERYWHERE

You're not going to get reception everywhere. I know, they put out a map and it has coverage right where you live. Guess what, if you phone isn't getting coverage then that area probably doesn't get coverage.

Bitching will not make it work.

Calling up reps and threatening to cancel service will not make it work.

Yelling does not make it work.

Basically you should probably move. Or buy a repeater. Yeah, they're expensive, but at least you'll get good service - it's a one time expense too.

Lag on a Pearl?

So i finally broke down and purchased a Pearl several months ago. I absolutely love the phone. However, this past weekend I've had nothing but problems. The phone seems to be lagging extremely badly. I can go in and type a full 160 character text message, when i get to the end it's still typing the first word. then if i wait 30 seconds it'll fill in the rest of the message. when i receive a call I'll hit the answer button, it'll take 30 seconds for it to connect and the screen to switch to show me i'm connected. I've never had a problem with the memory leaking and i frequently run the memory cleaner. I'm at my breaking point with this. any ideas what's going on or what i can do to fix it. i may give up and go back to a standard pho...

Coverage in Portland Oregon . . . ? Better or Worse than VZW?

My wife and I are Realtors in Portland Oregon, top notch coverage for us is an absolute MUST.

I had Sprint YEARS ago when I was traveling the country a lot, at that time they were the best for traveling as you could always rely on getting good signal at airports and in large cities. But in semi-rural and even some residential areas, forget about it . . . no signal.

Now being firmly planted in Portland Oregon we've found in the last few years that VZW has the best coverage, but their pricing is starting to wear on our nerves. We're looking at the all you can eat voice, data & text plans. VZW = $150/month each. Sprint is $100/month each...Quick $100/month savings but the question is COVERAGE.

I have zero interest in the "VZW sucks!...

Considering a Treo, questions

Do I need a Smartphone data plan to activate a Treo on my plan? I have a family plan with no data/text add-ons currently.

I currently have a Moto Slvr.

Also, any thoughts on the Treo 700P as a phone and "disconnected" smartphone used as a PDA only.
