Man sets texting record

Not that the guy has too much time on his hands or anything, but Deepak Sharma of Ludhiana, India, has gotten his name registered in the Guinness Book of World Records for sending 182,689 text messages a month, notes gizmo hub Engadget.

That would be, oh, something in the neighborhood of 6,000 messages a day, 253 an hour, 4.2 a minute or a new one every 14 seconds. Which leaves Sharma just enough time get in a quick wrist exercise every 12 hours or so.

Sharma aims to increase his messages to 300,000 in the coming month, according to Web News India, which notes that Sharma sends his rapid-fire messages to his relatives ...

Deutsche Telekom profits up 5.2pc

Thursday, May 12, 2005 Posted: 0817 GMT (1617 HKT)

Deutsche Telekom posted a 5.2 percent rise in first-quarter core profit Thursday, in line with forecasts, but a weak performance at its German and British units meant mobile earnings missed expectations.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at Telekom's mobile business rose by 15.6 percent, more than offsetting a drop at its fixed-line arm, but missing expectations on regulatory orders and cut-throat competition.

Europe's largest telecoms operator once again relied almost exclusively on its U.S. mobile o...

I need to purchase a bluetooth phone to use with my ipaq hx4700. It is very convenient to connect to the net through bluetooth without having to plug in a cable or a compact flash card. I did this once via a Cingular Blue v551 and it worked flawlessly.

What is the most inexpensive way to use T-Mobile (or maybe Cingular?) to get unlimited network access via bluetooth in this way? T-mobile seems to charge $29.99 for this and Cingular Blue charges $79.99.

Can I get the internet plan alone, or must I purchase a voice plan as well? Is there a cheap, unlocked, bluetooth phone that I can purchase online and just put a t-mobile sim into it?

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help,

I currently have service with NEXTEL down in Naples, FL, which has been horrendous. I am seriously close to switching to T-Mobile. I would like any feedback on T-Mobile in the Southwest Florida area if possible.

Whats the diff. between the Moto V300 and the V330 😕 ?

hmm.. i dunno but to me it looks like tmobs coverage is getting better and better REALLY QUICK ... reps or coaches check out the ICM.... its somewhat impressive now, do you guys agree?

If I get a Cingular branded Nokia 6230, will T-Zones work on it? Also does anyone know if T-Mobile is going to release a bluetooth Nokia any time soon?

Just wondering if you've had good/bad customer service experience with tmobile? Here's my situation... I ordered 2 to go phones for my husband and myself. They came in yesterday. I charged the phones and activated both services. Just after activation, I realized the screen on my phone (both Nokia 6800) had a black horizontal line and a blue vertical line going all the way across the screen. The other phone is fine. I called them back, and they had a replacement shipped, but I had to pay for it (said I'd be refunded when they receive the defective phone). They told me just to send back the original phone, but keep my SIM card which was just activated. I was impressed - they sent me right to a Sales Admin person, and I got the replacement pack...

My work causes me to be away from the office with some regularity. I'd like to remain connected to our IM client (Yahoo!) and our Exchange server. From what I gather from the (limited) literature on T-Mobile's website this is supported.

My questions are, has anyone else used Yahoo! and/or accessed an Exchange server via their T-Mobile phone and if so what was the experience like?

Also, is there any way to get T-Mobile to let me try this out for a month - can I just explicity turn the feature on for a month and if I don't like it, turn it off? Thanks.

I'm using a Nokia 6600 if it matters.

I use T-Mo prepaid and i'm quite happy with it but my Samsung R225M (don't laugh) is a piece of crap and I need to get another device...what phones does T-Mo offer for prepaid service right now?

Quick question Tmob reps. I am currently ATT/Cing and am off contract. If I come over to Tmob with LNP to keep my same phone number, will I be able to get the cheap phone deals I see on amazon.com and other such websites?

Also, I will want to bring two other cellphones from Cingular (not former ATT straight Cing customers) and keep the same phone numbers and sign up for a family plan.

But I don't want to pay full price for new phones.

Comments please.

i saw someone posted about maybe loosing text features with the get more 1,000 promo

i just went to mytmobile and changed my rate plan lol i was waiting for that to come around again because i have a sidekick with unlimited data so its not going to effect any of my features

i just got tmobile service in march and i had the 600 anytime w/ unlimited nights and weekends for 39.99 and now i get an extra 400 minutes for 5 bucks extra i love it lol.

i am currently on the $39.99 600 unlimited n/w plan, i have the 9.99 unlimited text plan....i am wondering if i switch to the $45.99 1000 plan will i lose my unlimited text with no way to get it back? (my other thread about unlimited text said it can fall off on some plan changes and you cant get it back)

hy everybody ,someone please tell me where i can get the unlocking code for sony ericsson t-637

should be released this fall for tmobile

OK so now we know the V635 is not going to be released anytime soon...so where is the best place to purchase one @ a good price?...this is what i have so far...

MyWorldPhone= $349+$35shipping
TigerDirect= $350+$13shipping
Ebay=anywhere from $340-$400 w/ shipping

I use ebay often, but im not sure i want to purchase the phone this way...i know mwp always reduces their prices daily so maybe the price will drop soon b/c its new to the site...
any opinions or other sites? thanks

It's a report on AOL's "Welcome" page. I found it very interesting so here it is:

Cell Phones Now Targets for Viruses, Spam, Scams



By Jon Swartz, USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO - As next-generation cell phones grow in popularity and function more like PCs, digital intruders are targeting them with viruses, spam and phishing schemes.

The security climate is similar to several years ago, when thrill-seeking computer hackers realized they could profit through their exploits, says Travis Witteveen, vice president for the Americas at computer-security firm F-Secure. "History is repeating," he says.

The shift in tactics reflects the mounting danger of feature-rich cell phones, says Victor Kouznetsov, senior vice president of mobile...

I just switched over from Cingular to T-Mobile and got a Sidekick 2 with the unlimited data and 600 anytime minutes. I am currently in a area where i am roaming which is in Central Pennsylvania. I get roaming service through Immix wireless but i see Att Wireless when i search for local towers on my sidekick 2. The immix wireless doesnt have GPRS so i cant use my data which really sucks cause im paying for it. I was wondering why i cant connect to the ATT/Cingular tower in my area, i thought they had a roaming agreement? Also why would T-Mobile have a roaming contract with a company that is 1900mhz but doesnt support GPRS they are basically useless. thanks

I have a question. I attend Jersey Village High School and every day in athletics i see one of the coaches "coach Skip" texting on his sidekick 2 (all irrelevant). Since there are more than 13 deaf kids in my athletic period they need a coach to translate what the regular coaches are saying (Sign Language). Coach Skip is also deaf, but he can hear a little bit but mostly reads lips. So one day i told him that i was interested in buying one and i asked him if i could see his sidekick 2. He gave me the phone and i was looking at all the cool features it had. I asked him how much he paid for the phone and he said that since he was deaf, he got it for FREE!!! 😲 😳 . So i was like haha... bull****. He said no I'm not kidding all you have to do ...
