Moved to Non-VZW Market. Problems??

I recently moved to a non-VZW market (Far Eastern North Carolina). The entire area is served by US Cellular, and nobody else. Our VZW phones work just fine at home on the USC network, but I don't want to lose them because of the benefits (I travel lower 48 3-4 days a week, enjoy VCast on the road, IN-minutes, EV-D, etc.)

My question is, if I change my billing address to my new home, which VZW does not sell into, would I get flack from them, or have any issues with my contract? We were so scared of this we still have not changed the mailing address for the account just in case.

Question?

Is Verizon Wireless really open 365 days a year. Do they close for any holidays? If you work for Verizon Wireless, what are the details of the cellphone plans you can get and how much is it? Any discounts on phones?Thanks!

Sprint Nextel Announces Yet Another New MVNO

Sprint Nextel Corp. plans to launch a new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) which would offer wireless services on Sprint Nextel's network under the new brand name Squint. Squint products and services will be marketed through national vision care and eyewear specialists Lenscrafters, who operate more than 850 retail locations nationwide. In an intro promotion, new customers will receive free magnifying lenses as a gift-with-purchase, in order to better make out Squint's national voice and data coverage maps. Their new ad campaign uses the creative slogan β€œCan You See Us Now?”

On a related note, a Wireless Week article quoted an industry source who said, "It's rumored that yet another Sprint Nextel MVNO is in the works, which will sp...

New Signal Strength Indicator

Beginning today, we will use a new graphic on phones and in advertising that more accurately represents the strength of our network, in contrast to that of competing carriers. The graphic consists of five ascending bars instead of the four bars commonly used in advertising of one of our competitors.

β€œOur new signal strength indicator more accurately illustrates the performance of our network compared to lesser four bar competitors,” said Dick Lynch, chief technology officer. β€œMy goal is to raise it to a six bar display in 2007.”

When customers are in EV-DO coverage, electronic pyrotechnics will shoot out from the top of the highest bar in the display like oil from a geyser, except for customers in Las Vegas and...

V710/bluetooth pairing problem

I have had my bluetooth for about a week and had no problem pairing the device. I drop the pairing today, and now I'm trying to pair them again and It wont work. I have the hs820 and I hold the button till it stays on, then I tell the phone to look for devices, but it never finds them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

LETS Talk 3G

All this 3G stuff is great faster better streaming whatnot. cool! But what does this really mean for the average consumer (me). I'm not talking pc cards I personally have know use for that I'm just talking Vcast. In my opinion Vcast is a joke and offers me nothing. ( not to offend anyone who likes it) but I used it and found nothing worthwhile for me. Everything I found on Vcast I can get online for free and better. So my question is I'm I missing something to be excited about? And my other question is will I care more so in the future then I do now? What's really going to knock my socks off with 3G? I just want to be sure I'm not missing something. Thank you πŸ™‚

I dont post much for reasons of a firewall. I've been with Verizon for few years and in the Wireless and Wireline for over 6 years. Not that it matters that I'm a second tier tech for data and voice troubleshooting, but I'm sorry to say that the above "talk" is just that ....talk. I have heard of nothing on imcomming changes to Obex b/t and UI's.

Simply stating that I troubleshoot the features. Vzw would have informed us of the following updates.

Peanut butter? !

🀣

this girl made me breakfast once.. she made waffles...well she served them to me with peanut butter on them..at first i thought it was going to be nasty. but after she poured the syrup on it and I took a bite.. I was like wow! The waffles were hot so it kind of melted the peanut butter and it was delicous! Is that just an Ohio thing?

Have y'all ever had waffles or pancakes with peanut butter on it and syrup?

Bad news on the new phone situation (A930 and Others)

Spoke with friends at Corporate today.

Looks like we have a while to wait.

The Samsung A930 is most likely going to be released in May/June time frame.

There will be very little new phone activity until the June/July time frame they are saying.

The big release is the Q and that will be end of April for BtoB and May 15th or so for Consumer.

Landline Connect Fee

I want to upgrade my phone, but the new plan I have to sign up for has a 97 cent landline connect fee. Does anyone know what that is? In the terms of the contract, it states that you can be charged for calling a landline even if you are in the network. Is this a monthly fee? Do I pay every time I reach a landline?

Also, my mom and fiancee have the LG 3200 which is terrible-I have so many dropped calls and have to repeat myself so much that I hate calling them. Is there anything I can do besides buying them new phones at retail prices? They both signed new contracts about a year ago.

Thanks

VZW_blt...dont question my status

If you never heard of Tier 2 troubleshooting or the DSC then you don't work for Verizon. Don't question my status ever. You claim a lot of things, but as far as I see all you do is copy and paste other peoples posts. Meaning you never back your posts with proof. thanks for playing.
