GOT I F'ING HATE SPRINT, BUT AT&T I F'ED UP WITH

WARNING=LONG STORY

I had at&t for 2 years....Then my friend needed a phone, got her one, and she paid it ontime for about 6 months, then lost her job....

Result = No Money + No Job = No Bill Payment.

I couldn't afford to pay the 200.00/mo bill....

So it built for about 2 months, they turned it off = 425.00 bill...tried to work something out, but they just kept charging me monthly... so now, that I couldn't/haven't paid it, they assessed the termination fee, so my bill is about...oh....1200.00??

Iv'e tried to talk to them, but I get the same answer from every rep ive talked to "You need to pay it in one payment.." Which obviously, if I couldnt pay the 400.00 in one lump...I cant pay the 1200.00 in one lump...

Is there anyw...

T-Mobile Got Jacked!

First, read this courtest of Boy Genius Report:

So here’s what we just heard: one of T-Mobile’s warehouses were broken into over the weekend and around 36,000 phones were stolen! The phones stolen are said to be worth around $8.2 million! Yeah peoples, not fun. What’s even crazier is that the majority of what was stolen were the Sidekick devices. T-Mobile’s actively tracking the IMEIs to see if any are activated on their network and is said to be working with law enforcement officials to trace the handsets to dealers that potentially activate them. Totally insane! Here’s the internal email to T-Mobile dealers, after the jump!

The Contract Game

I read that you could buy your phone outright and get no commitment with most cell companies in Consumer Reports, the Jan or Dec issue. At least, that's what I read.

Further studies conducted by me calling customer support for each carrier gave me THIS information:

Sprint: will make you sign a two year commit if you bring in your own sprint phone. (Jerks.) So if you plan on signing up, at least get a free phone with your two year contract, then switch out the phone and sell it on ebay.

Alltel: will let you on a current price plan with no commitment. (This company has some things going well for them.)

T-Mobile: They will make you sign a one year agreement if you bring in your own phone. OR you can do "Flexpay", where you just pay ...

ATT signal vs VZW?

I am currently a vzw customer of about 5 years, and live in southern New Jersey. Before that, I had AT&T on a startac phone, and my reception was the worst. People told me that vzw was more expensive but that the coverage was excellent. I made the move, and can honestly say that I have had no problems with reception since. I absolutely hate dealing with vzw's customer service, as well as the same old boring phones that are crippled. My cell is very important, and making and receiving calls is my top priority. I have been close to jumping over to AT&T several times, but the coverage isn't as good here. I get coverage in many places where a few of my best friends either get no signal, or they might get one bar that seems to cut in and out. Wil...

at&t is ran by monkeys...

...and all those monkeys know how to do is watch verizon and do what they do... 5 gig limit on internet and as of march 30th sms ppu will be .20 and mms ppu will be .30 cents.

why can't the at&t monkeys think for themselves? why do they limit themselves to the verizon wireless plans? when will they learn they aren't verizon? i guess none of the monkeys at at&t know how to think outside the verizon wireless box..............

Does the North America Package still exist? (or anything like it)

Hello all.

I am a old blue customer who is on the America National plan, which all my phones have the North America Package. I got this as we call Canada a LOT and we all roam in Canada (especially me).

The thing is my phones are getting old and I would like to replace them. But I ABSLOUTLY need something like the North America Package. I thought I heard somewhere that it is still offered, but it is a retention issue and it has to come from high up. I actually heard that it is a add on which costs $0 due to retention and it allows for free roaming and LD. However I am totally fine paying for a package (as I pay 10 dollars per phone for it now)

I have also heard that Verizon offers some sort of package, which I haven't che...

Tilt 229 @ WalMart Flat Out... No rebates no data plan >>

Walmart has a lot of phones for sale that they do not carry in their store. You have to go into the store to order it. (Anything ordered by 2pm will be there next day). But I was looking through their pricing and saw the Tilt for 229 with no rebates and no data plan required.

From what I remember they have other phones this way that they don't stock in their store. So go there and ask to see them on their computer....and this IS NOT THE SAME as ordering from Walmart's website... That is Let's Talk... they are horrible.

Now to all of you jerks who are going to say the same ole s^%& as you did last time I posted a Walmart price..... F^%& off.

People who come to this forum are smart enough to shop price and not shop customer service....

Unlocked BB 8310 For At&T

Hi everyone. I will be purchasing a new "unlocked" BB 8310 through COLORWARE this week. I'm new to this locked/unlocked thing and I need to know if I'll have any problems obtaining service with AT&T after purchase. On the colorware site, it says that the 8310 is to be used on the AT&T network after they customize it. Will I just be able to walk into a AT&T store and get a SIM card and ask for service ? Will they object to the fact that I didn't purchase from them ? Will the phone function correctly with AT&T (internet, email, etc) ? Any advice will be appreciated .....Oh, if you get a chance, go to the COLORWARE site and see the custom Blackberries !!!!

Any COR reps here? ERP ?'s

Do any of you know if PTT is still part of the ERP plan? If I remember it had 200 min incl. w/ each ERP line. Also what is the disc. on BB plans, again if I remember you could get BB added on for $22 or something like that. Also could I get the email addy for MyERP? My mom is the rep and she is on vacation and needs it to get these features added.

Contract issue

Here's the story I want some advice.

I got a phone for my mum for her B-day the good son I am. The phone was defective so i took it back to Best Buy where i purchased it. Best Buy rep said that when i returned the phone the contract would come off. I waited a week then two to make sure paperwork was not the hold up and check still it was on my line. I then decided to get the phone for her by renewing another line via online since that is less a pain in the behind. I got the phone it works great. I then promply forgot to call in and ask for the other contract to be removed. Any ideas how much run around i'm going to get to get the contract removed? Because if I did then i would have 2 outa my 4 lines of service out of contract and ...
