Things a Customer could do to cut their complaints in half.

1. PAY YOUR BILL ON TIME!!!!
Guess what? We don't shut off people's service when they pay on time. You also won't get late fees. 😁

2. Take responsibility for the services you use.
If you talk for 3000 minutes on a 1400 minute plan you're going to get charged. Don't say you didn't know. If you subscribe to 10 premium msgs be prepared to pay for it. If you give a 10 year old a phone you better be ready to make out a check for all the games and ringtones he's going to download.

3. Use your phone in reasonable places.
If you're 60 miles in the middle of nowhere or in your basement but you can't figure out why your phone or a certain service isn't working then you probably shouldn't have a cell phone in the fir...

Hands free volume

Is there a way to turn up the volume in the hands free mode. The manual that comes with this phone is not very informative!

Call waiting doesn't wait!

When I have my bluetooth headset activated and am on a call, if another call comes in, it doesn't wai, it cuts off the call that I am on and puts the newer one in its place. Not a good thing. I have auto answer on, but it should know not to cut off my existent call.
Any way to disable this?

How much money do sales reps make on average?

How much do the sales reps at the corporate stores make on average? I am sure a lot of it depends on location and selling ability. How much for a regular suburban location with above average sales skills and product knowledge? How do promotions work within the company? Is there a time frame, or is it based on need in that area?

The Contract Game

I read that you could buy your phone outright and get no commitment in Consumer Reports, the Jan or Dec issue. At least, that's what I read.

Further studies conducted by me calling customer support for each carrier gave me THIS information:

Sprint: will make you sign a two year commit if you bring in your own sprint phone. (Jerks.) So if you plan on signing up, at least get a free phone with your two year contract, then switch out the phone and sell it on ebay.

Alltel: will let you on a current price plan with no commitment. (This company has some things going well for them.)

T-Mobile: They will make you sign a one year agreement if you bring in your own phone. OR you can do "Flexpay", where you just pay the first month outright....

Why everyone should just ignore Avgjoe

https://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/forum.php?fm=m&f ... »

Someone asks a simple question because they made a mistake.. they say they made a mistake.. they want to know how to go about fixing their mistake..

Avgjoe goes off on the guy and accuses him of things he never said nor implied..

The guy is just being a stupid jerk and seems to be an attentionwhore... maybe if we just ignore him he will go away.

Lets hear your "Idiot Customer service Rep" Of the day

Ok non reps here is your chance to sound off since it seems this post is ment to poke fun at there customers since I assume the OP is perfect in there job.

Let me tell you how stupid some of the Customer Service reps are. I called in one day to get my plan for my BB switched over to the Unlimted email and Data plan for $29.99 the rep told me there was no such thing. I told her there was and she wanted to argue with me that was a surprise. So goes on and says there is only 10meg at 24.99 and unlimted at 44.99 then she tells me that she will prove it calls tech support and a guy comes on and tells me the same what a bunch of dumb A**es. I told her I would call her back when I had black an white prrof. So I searched your own web site for god...

Please explain VZW REPS

Please tell me why Verizon expects people to pay there bill on time but when it comes to verizon giving you the customer money back for a return it takes for ever. 😡 Exampl.

I returned a phone to Verizon by fedex and on Jan9th it was signed for at there return place.

they told me they would credit my credit card since that is how I paid for it once I got it. (They looked it up to verify) and now today it is the 17th at 4:00 in the afternoon and I still have no credit to my credit card account. I can see this live since I work at the place my card is issued. What gives.

I can go to walmart and return something and have a credit the next day.

Thanks for your info

LG Voyager still in short supply??

Just curious if any headway is being made to catch up with the demand on this phone. The VZW website still says "Limited Availibility", and the local corporate store didn't expect to see any until the end of January.

Web Chatters...

... are powerless to give you discounts. We literally, physically don't have access to change prices.

We really, truly can't.
