Should I dump Sprint?

** Posting Under All Carries for Full Input **

My Sprint PCS Plan is:

$95.00 (after all taxes...etc)
2000 anytime minutes
2 Lines share the minutes w/ all options below
Unlimited PCS to PCS Calling
PCS Vision Premium Pack
Picture Pack
100 Text Messages
Nationwide Long Distance Although Roaming if Added is $5.00 Extra

So here is my dilemma and what I want:

1) I want two new phones and am not impressed with the phones that Sprint offers and they will at this point in time only give me a $75.00 credit for each line.

2) Am moving to Colorado and have read that Sprint does not rate as high as other carriers.

3)HATE SPRINT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I ALWAYS WAIT ON HOLD FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES

4) Have not been able to use my p...

Best low end phone for grandparents?

I'm looking for a good low-end phone from Verizon for my wife's parents (I said grandparents because Dad is in his 80s :-)

Basically, I want something very simple with excellent reception...or, at least, the best of the simple, low-end phhones.

They don't need anything other than voice. Which one of the low-end phones would you recommend?

Thanks

Brian

Have to pay for 2 data plans?

I just realized something. If I have a Treo 650 or 700w and have the unlimited $40-$50/month data plan ($40 w/ voice $50 w/out voice correct?) and then I want to connect my laptop as well, since the DUN bluetooth profile is disabled on VZW Treo's that means I have to in addition to the $300+ for a Treo buy a $200 card for my notebook AND pay ANOTHER $40-$50/month for an additional unlimited data plan?

If this is currently accurate then it's something VZW (and anyone else setup this way) needs to look into and work out, cause that's a rip off.

Can someone verify if that's accurate or not?

any new info on samsung a930

was just wondering if anyone had any info on an exact date for the release of the samsung a930, besides first quarter of 06. or also any specs on the phone, i am suprised that phonescoop has not released anything for it yet either, which doesn't bode well for the release date of the phone. so far from what i know of the phone sounds really good, it has almost any function anybody would want, from mp3 player to bluetooth. im glad i returned the razr and got my money back and my credit for new every two so now i can get the a930 when it comes out. anybody with more info? thanks

Visit, http://mobile.google.com/personalized/promo.h tml and see if you can get it to work on your mobile web. It was just announced today, so I am sure it might take some time to get it going, but anyone else see if it works and respond here.

Ringtones and External memory

1-Can you use your mp3s or wma files that you stored on your external memory (flash cards, mini flash and etc..) as your ringtones with the lg8100, sch950, moto e815, v710?

2-If someone has done it, how did you do it?

3- will the new ota update affect the ability to do this if it was possible?

4- I like monterey jack cheese best...have you ever had that on a grilled cheese (or toasted cheese- thats how they say it in lima, ohio..

Ev-DO and the Nashville Market

does anybody know a proposed timeline to deploy Ev-DO in the Nashville area? We're a relatively large city, compared to alot of the areas that do have it. We also have a very busy airport. It just seems strange that Knoxville in East Tennessee and ghetto-ass Memphis in West Tennessee both have Ev-DO, but the state capitol, Nashville, does not.

Microsoft Jan 6th 2006 - Press Release:

Quoted from a 2004 Interview with Mike Wehrs (M$ Director of Standards and Technology)

"Wehrs: You will see a continued blurring of distinctions between mobile and fixed devices. For instance, we will work to improve the standards that allow content to be passed between mobile devices and desktop PCs. Currently, you can't send a photo stored on your PC to a mobile phone, and you can't download a Windows Media or MP3 music file to your desktop PC and then upload it to your cell phone. The current standards for mobile and fixed devices don't allow for this kind of cross-device transfer, and this wil...

T-Mobile in Germany Launches the most aggressive move!

Sorry Guys as much as I like Verizon Wireless if this happens in the USA I will port over my 10 lines in a blink. 😉


Fierce Wireless--1-5-06--T-Mobile in Germany launched perhaps the most aggressive move we've seen yet when it comes to promoting high-speed data services. The operator plans to start selling laptops integrated with HSDPA beginning in March when it introduces the high-speed data services. If T-Mobile decides to subsidize the laptops by about *500 ($605), which it probably should to spur adoption, German customers could purchase the Fujitsu Siemens computers for around *100 ($121) when they sign a two-year contract.

How long for warehouse to notify that you're returned a phone?

So I had the Motorola V325 under my NE2 and I returned it. It was received on December 30th according to the FEDEX tracking number. I called last week to make sure it was received and that my NE2 was reset and my contract expiration date was reset. The woman who answered said that she did show via the tracking number that it was received, but that it takes the warehouse up to two weeks! to notify them that the phone has been returned. My v60s has seen better days and I don't know if I can wait two more weeks to get a new phone, does it really take that long? Should I just call back every few days and ask for a status? Anything I can do to speed up the process? Thanks.

Am I going to run into any obstacles with them when I do this.. I was planning on going in there and telling them what I want to do, so it can be purchased / transferred right then.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Verizon won't sell to me

I'm currently a USCC user and have been looking to switch carriers. I know alot of people in my area (small town in North Iowa) that have great luck with their Verizon service so I decided to give them a call. I called their 1-800 customer service number and when the guy asked me where I was calling from and I told him, he said that "he can not sell to me bacause I am not in their licensed area", and then he hung up. Whats up wtih that? I know many people who use Verizon in my area but yet he won't sell to me. The closest authorized dealer is 75 miles away, but I'd gladly drive their if that means i could get a decent cell phone provider. Can I not sign up for Verizon now? Is it legal to just sign up using a relatives address whose in the v...

EV-DO deployment Question

hi everyone (im new to this so forgive me if i sound a little dumb 😛)

Why is EV-DO taking so long to deploy over teh entire Verizon network?

If I remeber correctly it only took Cingular about a year or two to completely overtap TDMA with GSM. I really want an EV-DO phone but EV-DO coverage is only available in select areas around me.

Thanks in advance!

Repeated Problem with vx8000

hi, my friend has the lg vx8000 and recently its quit letting her download ringtones. she had about 20 and the memory said that it was full yet 3% was used. she deleted over 5 songs and alot of pictures and it still said full. so she took it too the store and they replaced it since i was under the 1 year warranty. low and behold, the 2nd time the phone only let her download about 14 songs, even after she deleted the preset ringtones and had no pictures. she took it back and they did a "firmware" repair and gave it back to her "fixed". not even out of the parking lot and nothing on the phone is different, still error messages but this time 7% is full. she takes it back and gets another one and we fear that shes going to have the same p...
