2 Different MTN on 1 Phone?

Can we still do this? I had a customer that needed a new phone but didn't want a new one because customer care told him he would have to change his NAMs back to normal. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Rumor about Verizon buying Embarq?

I was just curious to know if anyone else had been hearing this rumor flying around. Just little history, Embarq got a "legal Divorce" from sprint last June. Embarq is a stand alone company now except for their wireless using Sprint's network. To my knowledge the deal on sprints network is only good for one year and Embarq doesn't have the money or means to start their own. If this merger or buy out did happen Verizon would pick up the Midwest as far as home phone and DSL service, as well as a distribution center right out of Kansas City. The services that they both offer are very close. And Embarq desperately needs a step parent with some common since to step in and show them the way; they need to get rid of all the old sprint employees who...

Unlocking Phones...

So now that Verizon allows their phones to be unlocked, is there anyway I could buy one of their phones full price (w/o a contract) and bring it to another carrier? I want to use a Chocolate or RAZR Maxx Ve on U.S. Cellular.

All I want is a simple, thin bar phone...

So why does Verizon have to pick every other stupid phone out there?

I don't want a flip/slide/swivel phone, since more moving parts = more things to break.

I don't need a keyboard to text, since it's easier to just call.

I don't need a camera, since I already have one.

I don't need a music player, since I already have an MP3 player.

This is what I want:
* Bar phone
* Good talk time (4-5 hours)
* Good reception
* Thin (so I can keep it in my pocket)
* Bluetooth would be nice (for the car)

In the paraphrased words of Patrick Henry "Give Me My Phone or Give Me Death!"

The Moto SLVR L9 would be nice... if it worked on the VZ network.

On a side note, other things that would be nice would be a globally unified network...

5 GB of data

Has anyone ever seen a customer use this on a PDA/ Blackberry without teathering? I couldn't imagine that this is likely.

Has anyone seen one with teathering?

I remember a long time ago hearing about customers being turned off for exceeding the allotment with an aircard, but since VZW started 'limiting the throughput speeds' I haven't heard of any actual stories of customers being affected since the policy changed.

Any stories to share?

Whatever happened to the 5800

I am hoping this delay is to make sure Windows mobile 6.1 runs on it.

Blackberry Pearl Or Voyager

I'm ready for a new phone,I currently have the 9400, not a horrible phone. It just keeps you happy for about 3 minutes. But the point is I can't decide between the pearl or voyager. I like the voyager's large touch screen and html brower. I love the pearls style, UI, e-mail features, ect. I feel like if I get either phone I will regert it and want the other. Just wanted some input on what I should go with. Thanks.

why do the make it so hard to lock a phone

what happened to the days of holding down a key and lockin the phone

or heaven forbid actually being able to require a unlock code to get into certain areas of your phone at your choosing like my old Moto 500 for Cingular did

I think Verizon wants to make everything easy so that people who dont have any phone knowledge with phones can work any phone they have .. my issue is make both .. some phones basic for those that "just want a phone" and others that the ppl like all of us who are into phones can have these options

but then you wont have grandma paying 200 for a upgrade to the latest phone .. but think about it .. most of the current cell phone users are pretty savvy when it comes to phones .. the 60 year old who .. just wants...

BB Data

Hi everyone,
I know this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to confirm: When you have a BB device, you MUST purchase a monthly data plan, even if you decide not to use it for e-mail. Like if you get the Pearl just for the "dazzle" of owning a BB, you still need to get the data plan right?

A friend of mine is trying to convince me that he can get a BB device on T-Mobile w/o a data plan, but I think that's incorrect.

Thanks in advance!

Samsung U940!

Does anyone know when this phone will come out? I heard sometime around February/March. Does anyone have a better estimate of when it will come out? I had the voyager but it sucked so I am waiting for this phone!
