COR, NO CONTRACT, NO UPGRADE

I just took my friend's out-of-contract account by using change of responsibility (COR). I've confirmed twice that there is no long-term contract whatsoever. But T-Mo doesn't allow me to upgrade the phone even if my account is out of contract and said I could port my number away if I really want good price on a new handset.

Is it all T-Mo can do? Or I should really port the number away. The reason why I took the account is that I really like the "number".

If you have the PEBL...Be Careful!

I just read that if you have the PEBL in your pocket with your debit or credit card, your info might be erased by the PEBL's magnetic force.

hey I hope you all can help me

Hey everyone, I am currently taking an economics class that has assigned me a project of my choice. I chose to find out what the best carrier in Los Angeles is (my home city) and whether or not sales correspond to the quality of service provided by all the major companies. I just wanted to know what everyone in Los Angeles thinks of both T-mobile's service and phone selection. Thanks for everyone's help!

New to tmobile!

Hey, i just got tmobile a couple days ago, i switched from verizon... I love it! Its way better than verizon, and not to mention cheaper.

Yea so, i received 5 messages, and sent 5, and on the tmobile website, it says 0 sent 0 recieved, when i dialed #msg# it said 0, and when i called tmobile, they said 0. I have a blackberry 7105t without the data plan, i was wondering by mistake did i get free text messaging, or theyll charge me later, has one else experienced this? Let me know. Thank you

NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN AT WAL-MART!!!!!!!!

speaking to a REALLY, REALLY, reliable person. TRUST ME RELIABLE. an account rep okay.

she stated VZW will be moving to wal-mart YES WAL-MART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FEBURARY 1, 2006 OR THE 18TH i'll ask again later. there will be a soft launch in 3 markets. one being PA, NY, and i can't remember but i think somewhere down south maybe georgia. BUT!!!!!! she did state for sure june 1, 2006 will be the national launch date of WAL-MART.

the launch phones in our area i think she said will be, LG 8100, MOTO V276, SAMSUNG 630, AND A FEW OTHER MID AND LOW ENDERS. when asked about the 9800 she laughed. so that means no. she said hold-out on that because the may get it a little later.

pricing she couldn't say. she did say that she was 90% ...

Treo 700W.............not so hot?

I've read several reviews now on the new Treo 700, and so far, it seems as if the Palm/MS folks have rushed out a slightly inferior product.

Software bugs, multi step functions for simple tasks, resolution less than a 650, memory mgmt issues. Im hoping that if/when Palm makes a 700P, the Palm OS wont have these problems. It seems more of a MS Mobile topic than the phone itself. PLUS, Verizon's service plans stink and their data prices are gasoline-like!I'll stick with my TM plan and probably get an unlocked 650...............

Coverage in South Florida?

Hi everyone:

I wanted to know if you can help me out. I'm moving to South Florida (FT Lauderdale, Miami area) and I would like to know how is the service coverage for T-Mobile there? I looked at T-Mobile's Website but I learned from experienced not to trust that type of information. So I want to get feeback from people using Cingular in South Florida. Would Verizon or Cingular be a better option?

Thanks!

Help Here?!?

😳 😳 😳

All of you in GSM phone land...

Have you ever heard of the Motorola m900 fixed car phone?

I have heard our local Alltel/Western Wireless/CellularOne stores bragging about this phone being the answer to a bag phone (supposed to have 3 watts of power w/o needing a booster to get there). Apparently Motorola is now making an m800 which handles CDMA/Analog? ANY HELP ON THIS ONE WOULD GREAT?!? 😳

Rollover Minutes?

I am planning on purchasing a Sidekick next month. I don't talk on my cell phone that much, I just mainly use it for text messaging,etc., so I was wondering if unused minutes are carried over to the next month with T-Mobile, like Cingular's Rollover?

HOLD ON KIDS...............

Here comes the spanking new TREO 700..........for Verizon..........with Windows Mobile 5 OS...............and where is TM? Nowhere to be found. In fact, I have heard from more than a few folks in the 'know' that say TM will NOT carry anymore Palm products at all. SO.............if there is going to be a 700 GSM phone with the Palm OS, it aint gonna be with TM...........which of course means paying 500-600 for an unlocked Cingular if/when the time comes. Its so godamned frustraing as a TM customer all these years (since Omnipoint) that they are clueless when it comes to customer wants/needs and updated product selection. They seem to cater to kids with their 50 versions of the dreaded Sidekick (no offense to the kiddies reading this!); t...
