TEXT MESSAGES - RED DOT?

hey guys,

i have a samsung sch-a930 and sometimes i get text messages with a "red dot" (looks like a record sign) tagged with it. the words "TEXT MESSAGE" and "INBOX" are highlighted red too.

does anyone know what that means? does it have to do with ems messaging?

thanks for taking the time to read this, appreciate the help!

USB 720 on verizon's web page

$129, looks like a possible solution for those with desktops that want to use Verizon's network. Although it may be difficult to keep a desktop's usage below 5GB per month

The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.

The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

Lost Internation SMS

I have friends and family in europe. I only get 1/3 of the SMS they claim to send. I started to doubt them. When I traveled overseas, I sent my friends here in the US large number of SMS. Guess what, the rate of failure was very high. Other friends with GSM service don't have this problem...
Vzw tech support said that there is nothing Vzw can do.
I like verizon, but this is not good. Is this a good reason to leave? I am paying 25/cent per SMS (10 cent incoming).

South Korea

Since Verizon can be used in South Korea, can someone please tell me which phones would work there.

Is it possible to buy a pre-paid sim card over there to use with the phone?

I would appreciated if someone could help me out with this!

Thanks,

Text Message Packages

Just heard that new Text bundles will be announced and available beginning March 1st. Don't know what they will be but guessing they will up the number of texts to non-verizon customers. No word on if they are restructuring calling plans in any way.

Getting Cingular Up to Speed
CEO Stanley Sigman talks about the challenges of the AT&T Wireless merger and how he plans to catch up with Verizon Wireless

Cingular Wireless CEO Stanley Sigman has little appetite for taking the megaphone and blasting the good word about his company right now. There's simply too much work to do. Since taking the reins at the joint venture owned by SBC Communications (SBC ) and BellSouth (BLS ) in 2002, he has been, well, singularly devoted to turning a good wireless company into a top-notch one. But Cingular isn't there yet. In metrics like customer service, it's still lagging behind Verizon Wireless, a fact that gnaws at the Cingular chief.


Sigman knows Cingular's parent companies are in serious ne...
