VERY old Voicestream customer

Okay . . . I just had a gentleman come into my store with an ancient Nokia phone from Voicestream. He wanted to know if I could sell him a battery for his phone. I told him that unfortunately we no longer carried the batteries for that model, and asked him why he didn't upgrade. He said that that might be a good idea, thanked me, and then said he was going to go talk to the Voicestream people and walked out of my store.

I was kind of confused for a second, and then I realized - he didn't know that Voicestream was now T-Mobile!

If I didn't know better I swear I just upgraded him today lol...I had a customer with an account from 1998 still using his 5190, and that was his problem- his battery wouldn't hold a charge and he couldn't find a replacement...other than that he was perfectly content with the phone. He upgraded to a 3220 🙂

Very weird! The guy who came into my store had what looked to be a 5190! I guess it could just be coincidence . . .

Did he have a thick Texas accent? If he did, we may be talking about the same guy here.
