Just wondering why i haven't seen some of you guys in the lounge lately.?.?

Caught this on the Cingy forum. Absolutely hilarious, to me anyway:

I don't think that treating former attw customers to a tiger balm sensual massage type experience is going to foster long term loyalty towards Cingular, and we the reps will be hearing about it for some time to come.

I just got off the phone for a second time with the tech people at Audiovox and they don't have a clue as to how to fix the problem. Since the phone was introduced, many people have been complaining about the volume of the ringer
(so low that you can't even hear it) and the volume of the built-in earpiece (so low that you can barely carry on a conversation.) I made many called to Verizon but they were at a loss as what to do about the problem.
Audiovox initially posted on their web site a "fix" to the volume problem. I went ahead and
backed up my PDA, downloaded the software, installing the new software, and then restored the backed up data, (more than an hour). After all that, there was no noticable change in either ringer volume...

I just went into my local Verizon store and bought the new XV6600. They activated the phone and then tried to call me but we could not hear the ring tone (it was there but so low that you could bearly hear it.) We tried everything (moved the slider bars for both ringtone and telephone ear piece to their highest position. Nothing helped.
We then tried the one other XV6600 in the store and had the same problem.
The salesman and the manager really tried. They called Technical Support but they were not able to offer any help. I finally had to return the phone and all accessories and get a credit.
Anyone have the same problem and any solutions.

This is a new PRL version number (50261) that showed up on Verzon A/C phones if you did not contact VZW about the no roaming plan. Is there a different PRL number for those who did contact VZW, and if so what is that PRL number?

On the plus side, the new AC No Roaming plans seem to be an improvement for many (though not all) people. A good marketing point for them too. I may switch to one soon, though its somewhat of a mixed bag (appears that some former roaming areas are now regular network, but some are now 'no service').

On the downside, the new INPulse prepay plans don't seem to be good, if you give a crap about that sort of thing (VZW should, prepay is going to be an increasing share of the market). It basically breaks down to $30 a month for free IN-calling and free Nights, with peak calls and weekend daytime calls costing 10 cents a minute. Meh.

It would've been good if only VZW had thrown in free Weekends as well- 30 bucks for free IN, Nights, and Week...

😳

Cingular
"$9.99 Add-A-Line on National Plans $69.99+"

Thanks Cingular! Waiting to see a Cingular rep defend this one...

Verizon:
$59.99(2 lines)
$9.99(3rd line) Add-A-Line on National Plans

- We still have the largest MTM footprint: Cingular’s new Allover Network includes 268 million POPs versus America Choice’s 283 million POPs-

😈

yep its true supposedly when u change ur plan in the next couple of months with vzw, instead of having prorated charges and minutes, only ur charges will be prorated not your minutes. so if u r over ur minute allowance late in your bill cycle, u can upgrade your plan and not have to pay huge overages. yayyyyyyyyyyy....lol 😁

soon ;)

now stop whining.

Does the new Verizon PRL just update my coverage areas and still include the 69 cent per minute roaming or does it update the coverage and remove my phone from being able to roam?

I have not contacted Verizon to make any contract changes.

I am interested in a vx 7000 . Which mode is it and will it work on analog if digital signal is not available?

I see Verizon has updated their webpage to reflect the new A/C No Roaming plans, but it doesn't appear that they have updated their maps to reflect this change.

When you go to "Coverage Locator" there is a new radio button for A/C plans before 2/21 and after 2/21 but it doesn't appear to change the map any when you use this feature either.

😲 thanks for reading my post,,,
my question is that i only have one bar at my house and i am wondering if i can still makes calls and receive calls without dropping... i did not get to test it with my friends phone so i am just asking ...
it does not seem to lose the signal that often..even though it looses the signal it gets it back right away..

Hope this is true.No more roaming charges after
the 21'st. Of course we will have to sign a
new contract and be on the A.C. plan. But
I'd be happy as I go to the U.P. a lot.

i got a new 6100 recently and i want to give my motorola t730 that i had to my cousin b/c his phone is beat up and stuff. does it cost anything for him to put his service onto the moto? can i just do it online by changings the esn's? thanks.

Monday:
1. Verizon wireless expands there network by 20%
2. No roaming on their Network with Americas Choice
3. PPT Returns for 10 dollars a month. with a 2 second delay!

Whats to prevent somebody from flashing the 710 with the software image that Alltel uses? Yeah, you won't get GIN... but for the same handful of people that kickup about this stupid issue, could this be a theoretical workaround and would give them the OBEX profile they SOOOO desperately need to live.

If I were to add a line to an existing Family share plan, whay kind of price would I have to pay for the new cell phone?

Hello, I have been reading thru these forums and have seen that there is a lot said between verizon reps and cingular reps. I am a customer, and I am going to take time out to tell people what I think about verizon's service.

I drive truck for a living, I am in Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin all the time, and I can not think of one company that lets you use your phone in all those states plus others without limits, you can use your mobile to mobile there, unlimited night and weekend minutes there, you are not restricted to your HOME area only for those minutes. I know of 2 companies, and I am sure there are more, Midwest wireless, and Us Cellular that have a 50% rule, where if you use over half your minutes 3 months...

How is the class action in California going? I have been out of the loop lately.
