Verizon...Arrrrrggghhh!What's up with Verizon for the past three days? My DSL has been wonky, my cell phone's dropped like 5 calls, and my DH has gotten his emails really late on his blackberry...
It makes me want to go back to T-Mobile... :angryfire:

I don't know about Verizon, but I'm about to throw my Sprint PCS cell phone out the window. Ever since Sprint bought out Nextel, their service has sucked bhb! It keeps dropping calls and switches into roam on local calls on flat land. :evil: What gives?

Joanne

Okay... Sprint is out then...Hmm, what about Cingular? :?

I think I'm about to have a breakdown. I left my cell phone at home today, and I can't go back and get it.  So here I am checking my stupid voicemail via landline, and freakin' rifling through this dusty old Rolodex trying to call people back...and half these numbers aren't current anymore. Grrrr

Here here!
I signed up with them two weeks ago, but so far so good. It's my first ever cellular, too, this Samsung model...

I finally banished Sprint from my life and signed up with T-Mobile. I also got a terrific new phone, which will remain nameless, with all the bells and whistles and more. So far so good. Life is wonderful.

I think I may do the same. My contract with Verizon ends in about four months, and I've absolutely had it with them. They have the best coverage in this area, and their phones are nifty when/if they work, but their customer service absolutely smells compared to T-mobile's. Also, Verizon phones only work in the US, and I have to rent a GSM tri- or quad-band phone whenever I leave the country.  .

Because of a phone/contract?

Because now I have a fully functioning phone with the myFaves plan, so I have unlimited calls to my favorite five people. And for a gal like me who can talk and talk and talk, it's like manna from heaven.

Same here. Seems Elaine isn't using her unlimited calls to her favourite five people.

Hi
as you're talking about phones, i will pose you this question about my mobile phone :
when a sms arrives there will be a picture of an envelope. Since about 3 weeks there's a pciture of an envelope in the same place where the other envelopes appear, btu this one has also w and there's not a sms not read in my inbox.Also there aren't messages on the voicemail or mms.
So, what's this signify? i can't discover it. My phone's sony ericson.
(I'm absolutly stupid and useless with technology.)
Thanks 
|
Pauline

i've discovered it means that I've received a WAP push message!!!!
Usually I only use this phone for sms, never the internet. i suppose WAP is a message system, but I've not an idea at all where this message will be!!!  How annoying, and I wish it will go away because I can't find it.
|
Pauline

Okay, you can delete my question if you would like. i have deleted this weird envelope + w . I don't know how this ocurred, and I didn't find the message.

Keep it simple, that's what I say. I have an old Nokia and it works perfectly fine. As for contracts, I don't have one.

Do you have a pre-paid phone? I used to when I was a student, but it actually ended up being more expensive than regular phone plans.
Although I prefer Samsungs over Nokias, I agree about keeping the phones simple. One day they're going to have phones that perform triple bypass surgeries, I swear...

Eventually we'll end up with phones with which you could actually phone someone - now that would just be weird...

Surely you jest. How in the world would my phone have enough memory to fly to Mars and collect soil samples if it's doing such menial tasks as taking phone calls, as well?

Yes, I have one of those. If you use it a lot then it's certainly more expensive, but I don't so... Not only do they get more advanced but they also get smaller and smaller.
In an emergency you'd better not be out of toothpicks -- once you've found your phone, that is.

I went back to T-mobile a few months ago, so I got a new phone: the BlackBerry Pearl, which is an upgrade over the trusty ol' 7100 series, which I used to have with Verizon. Ooooh, ahhh! Pretty! Yes, get it out of your system. The Pearl is flimsy, and I just broke another one four days ago. (I know I have a piercing glare and a powerful grip, but this is ridiculous!  ) I'm going to try the BB Curve this time around.
I guess I'll have to get used to having a large phone again.
