I GOT MY ALPHA TAG TO SAY AT&T.........TRUE STORY

I keep hearing that on new activations the new alpha tag shows............so I mocked a new activation..........I called customer care and told them that I needed to updated my IMEI number.....so they delted my old IMEI and I simply read it dirctly from the back of my phone (the exact same #.....) and it took about 25 minutes....but I left my phone off for a bit and now it displays "AT&T". 😁


Just fyi for those (im not alone LOL) that wanna see at&t dispalyed on there phones because for some reason it's 'cool'......guess im strange LOL.

30 exchange and the 8525

Anyone want to talk me out of the Titan? I feel like it's going to be a hassle and I realyl don't want to pay $40 for data. I have 5 days to make a decision or else I am locked in. I don't know what to do. I am ridiculous.

Media/data package question.

I currently have the Media Works 1500 messages and 5 mb MediaNet Bundle for 14.99 a month on my Cingular Nokia 6230, I am considering buying a unlocked quad-band Nokia smartphone with HTML browser (N80i or N95 most likely).
The Cingular site shows a SmartPhone Connect Unlimited w/Xpress Mail plan for 19.99 a month, my question is does that include text and MM messages or do I still have to have some kind of media plan for that? Thanks for any info you can give.

Icyhot!

Hey what's up buddy? I'm seriously considering the K790a, but I have a question. I understand it's not a walkman phone; so how does it work? what kind of mp3 player does it come with? and is it as seamless as the one in the w810i? I'm kinda torn between the K790a or the pre launched 'Nicole' what do you think?

This is it?

Had to crack up after reading this article. Apparently, according to most of the people who have been lucky enough to get their hands on an Iphone to test it, the biggest complaint is..... that its slippery? Wow, thats some in depth testing thats going on .... and then I love the part about the apple exec just tossing it on the carpet, priceless!

Rate your Cingular Service!!

I am new to this whole...searching for new cellular service, but I was forced into this. I have been with Nextel for almost 9 years and since the merger (although people say it has nothing to do with it) my reception is horrible at best! I frequently drop calls (on interstate highways) and hear myself talking back at me when on a call.

I am thinking of going to Cingular or the Sprint side...Can anyone tell me their thoughts on this, as I don't know anyone who has Cingular in the Southwest area of Michigan... It shows that Cingular has good coverage in this area, but it appears on paper to look the same as Sprint...Any suggestions or advice? Any help will certainly be appreciated! 🙂

Affordable Plans - Rant

I work for a Cingular dealer in Connecticut and I can't get over the fact that they got rid of the $29.99 250 anytime, 1000 night and weekend minute plan! Not everyone is using their phone like crazy, and pre-paid plans are just rip-offs. Cingular would really gain a lot more business by bringing that plan back. Does anyone agree?

mini-USB charger

Hi guys! My mom is looking for a phone that has a mini USB charger like her bluetooth so it will charge her phone as well as her accessories (she is currently using a Sync). She is not interested in a RAZR. (The only reason she's going to give me her Sync is because my 4th RAZR in 14 months has broken.) Anybody have any phone suggestions for her? Mid-range is preferable, but I'm sure she will consider some low-end or high-end phones. Thanks for your help!!!

Blackberry Pearl or Palm Treo 750????????

I am considering getting the blackberry pearl or the palm treo 750. I currently have the razr v3 and it is a piece of crap!!!!! Terrible battery life (maybe get 1 hour of talking before it drops a bar) and it always cuts off and then back on!!!!! My problem with deciding between the two is that I want a phone that can replace my laptop whenever I need it to. I was considering the pearl for email and then getting a palm tx handheld which i really like. They told me that i could print anything out using a wireless printer. but then there is the palm treo 750, which i am not sure that it can do all the tx handheld can. I really need a phone with a good battery life which is why i am leaning towards the pearl and getting the handheld instead of ...

I encourage all of you to read this...

This is an old article, but extremely informative. I knew the basics of what had happened with AT&T Wireless but I never knew specifics. If you've got some time to kill give this a read and check out the cool diagrams they have.

Some really good history.

Verizon is the anti Christ, and they do stuff!!!

Actually that thread was to get your attention...

I have question, can you get away with using Media Max on your PDA instead of having to get the PDA data plan?

Your input is appreciated.

Phone Subsidies & irate customers

How do you deal with a customer who tells you that are phones aren't subsidized? I just has a customer tell me that it is ridiculous that he has to sign a 2 year contract. I explained the details of the subsidized phone... he said is was ***** and that we are still making money of the equipment (even though his phone was $10.00)

And then I told him about the upgrade fee......

Up to 62.2 million customers. Of those net adds 80% were postpaid customers. ARPU is up to 49.21, up 1.4% versus 1 year earlier and Data ARPU is up to $7.88 up 51% versus 1 year earlier.

Just some of the news for the quarter, more to come!

Strange!

Today I decided to check my account online. I have a family plan with 3 lines on it. I have never really had any complaints unitll now. I noticed on one of my lines that there was a texting package added.

I know I never added that package, so I called customer care to find out about it. This line was only added in march. They traced there notes back from when it was added and could find nothing. How can something like this happen?? Mind you the plan was only 2.99, but its a point I was trying to make! 😕

Any one think we will get this phone?

If its listed at $319.99 pre subsidy then it could turn out to be a pretty reasonably priced smartphone especially considering it has Wifi as well!

Text Messaging Not Working???

I'm not a heavy text user, but once in a while I have a need to send one out.

I noticed about a month ago that I got a big red X and a "message not sent" notice. I tried to send again and it never went through.

I shrugged it off and just called the person.

I went to send an SMS again today and got the big red X and the "message not sent" notice. There's nothing to explain why it's not working. I had just received a text and was replying to it, so I'm able to receive them.

I tried to sent "text" to 151, but got the same error message.

If it matters, I'm an old blue-SIM user from AT&T, using an NEC 525 phone. My last successful text was on 3/13/07. I have received them since then, but like I said - not a regular texter.
