should i stay or should i go?

Ive had a v710 for over 2 years now. The charger port repeatedly breaks. Yesterday I was swapping my phone for the fourth time, and I was about to get a vx8300 free of charge. The customer service rep transferred my numbers over the vx8300 was minutes away from activating it for me. My account is registered on the east coast, but i go to school on the west coast so there is a difference of 3 hours. She couldnt activate my phone because it was past 11pm where the phone was registered. Nearly 2 hours in that bloody store for nothing. I decided, eh **** happens, and she tells me just to come pick it up tomorrow or whenever I get the chance. Ok, I go to the store this morning only to be met by a rep who really didnt seem to care that V71...

Phone Exchange 15day

I just got the Q and looking at maybe the xv6700 instead, I know I have a 15 day grace period to 'try' the phone. If I get the 6700 and I prefer the Q can I go back? Do I have to go to the same store I got it from?

thanks

T-Mobile USA Inc. continued its run as the carrier with the best customer-service ratings by consumers, edging out other operators for the fifth year in a row in J.D. Power and Associates’ semi-annual survey.

Verizon Wireless scored second place with a ranking of 101 to T-Mobile USA’s 107, followed by Alltel Corp. with 99. Alltel came in just above the industry average of 98. Cingular Wireless L.L.C. generated an index score of 94, and Sprint Nextel Corp. limped in last with 92.

J.D. Power also found that customers who speak to actual service representatives are much more satisfied th...

Samsung A930

I'm looking for a music phone. I'm looking at the Samsung a930, Nokia 6315i, and LG 8300. What is the retail price of the a930? Also, how is the music features and reception? I'd prefer the 6315i or 930 because they are more attractive than the 8300. Thanks!

Are all verizon reps stupid?

Working at verizon must be one of the easiest jobs on the planet and yet they can't even manage to learn the one simple UI that they offer. I have witnessed time and time again retarded reps giving out incorrect information or fumbling around trying to find a simple function on the most basic of phones, which lets face it is all of them. Its hard to stomach watching some pimple face retard answer no to a question that clearly deserves a yes answer, then watching that potential customer walk because of it. I think verizon should do a poll of how many customer they loose each quarter do to incompetence! I suggest in the future they implement some basic quizzes before they allow these slobs to hit the sales floor.

How do you power up a cell...

Will 'unlocked' cellphones free consumers?

Will 'unlocked' cellphones free consumers?
Posted 1/24/2007 8:43 AM ET
Marguerite Reardon for News.com
The major cellphone operators' hold on which devices U.S. consumers can use on their networks may be slipping as large manufacturers like Motorola and Nokia dabble in selling "unlocked" phones.

Up until recently, unlocked phones — handsets that can be used on multiple carrier networks — have been available only in "gray" markets where Americans have bought phones from overseas. Now manufacturers are selling them on their websites and through certain retail channels.

"Cellphones rank just behind keys when it comes to items that Americans don't leave home without," said Albert Lin, an analyst with American Technology Research. "And a...

Problem with text messages!

I have a problem with my texting or picture messages. When I send out a text or picture message to a person, it seems that someone else gets it. As for example, I was text messaging a friend with a number (555-555-5555) and it went to another phone number (555-555-0000) and when I tried again; I end up getting a reply back telling me that it was a land-line number. I know for a fact that this is a cell phone number and not a land-line number and I call verizon tech support and they said they will look into it and get back to me in 24 to 48 hours and they never did. Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong and why are my messages are going to someone or some number I dont even know? Thankyou very much everyone for your support and have a...
