Here is the scoop on Wal mart purchases

Well, I work in COR in the Chicago market, and I must say I am definitely enjoying the flame wars here about Wal-Mart/Best Buy vs. Cingular company stores. But I was in a Wal-Mart yesterday and stopped to read the fine print. Basically, the ONLY way wal mart will return a phone no questions is if it less than 15 days old AND has less than 30 minutes of airtime on it. Just thought I would pass it along. Cingular company stores give you 30 days no questions, and doesn't matter how many minutes you put on the phone.

Question about Nokia 6102

I posted this question in the 6102 forum but no one has answered it yet. Does anyone know if there is a way to erase names from the list of 'recently used' numbers that comes up when you send a text message on the 6102? It is driving me crazy...thanks in advance!

Help - SIM cards and transferring contact lists?

I've done a search for this but haven't found an exact answer. Basically I had a Motorola T721 (originally AT&T) and have upgraded to a LGC2000.

I have stored all my contacts on the Motorola on the phone itself and old SIM card too. But when I put the old SIM into the new LG phone, it says "phone restricted" and if I choose cancel it asks for a "restriction code" which I don't have.

I then tried the opposite - putting the new SIM into my old Motorola and attempting to store everything from the old phone to the new SIM. But now I get "Enter subsidy password" and again I don't have that.

Is there anything I can try (outside of manually storing every contact, 1 by 1) or do I need to go to a Cingular store? (And would a Cingular stor...

Razr V3 $68 Wal Mart $69 at Best Buy. NO REBATE!!!!

$99 and wait for a rebate? You can't be serious.

Why not save a bunch get the hardware from Wal Mart or Best Buy Then deal directly with Cingular for any issues?

They will tell you you won't get suppost from Best Buy and wal Mart but you don't NEED it from them. You won't get support from a Cingular corporate store either because they did not make a commission off ya. So there you go.

Thats the TWO Cingulars. The real Cingular is on the other end of 611 anyway, Who do you think the sales dweebs are calling when you trot into their overpriced stores?

Repair Question

Hey,
Quick question. I purchased a Black Razr in July from Cingular. Everything has been great with the phone except my outer display stopped working, due to getting pressed hard whilst in my pocket, but no superficial damage. How should I go about getting my phone fixed? Do I take into my local Cingular store or do I send it to Motorola directly? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Giving Cingular a Try, Have a Couple ?s

Hi,
We are considering porting to Cingular from VZW, I am planning on starting the 30 day trial this week, but I have a couple of questions for Cingular vets, or hopefully a Cingular employee:

1. I don't want to port my number over until I know Cingular will work for me, so is it possible to go through the 30 day trial with a new number, then switch my number over if we like it?

2. I am planning on getting one of the refurb Treo 650s for myself, and I believe I understand how MediaNet works, vs. PDA Connect, so correct me if I have this wrong: If I order my treo without a data plan, then call up after the fact and ask to have the $20 unlimited MediaNet added to my account, I will be allowed to do this, as long as I don't tell them it ...

TenMidgits...You can't shut up, so neither can I, Please read!!!

Ok,
First of all, I have no problem with your loud voice. But when you say that agent stores and core stores are ripping people off, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Your statement was born in hell. Here is an important statistic. In my agent store, in November of 2004 we activated 50 new lines, In November of 2005 we activated only 15 new lines. Management and employees have not changed. What has changed is the pricing by Cingular that the core stores are required to follow and the agent stores are suggested to follow. If you want to be "the great savior" for the consumer, you might also want to tell people you are advertising to that Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Sams do not handle their own customer service and they will onl...
