Another Newbie question here...

All over eBay you can find people selling "Signal Boosters" those little flat stickers that you stick usually behind the battery of your phone and they supposedly allow you to be able to hold a signal better on your phone.

Perhaps a stupid question, but do these devices work? If so, can you suggest a reputable company from which to purchase a signal booster?

I know this sounds crazy, but I cannot hold a signal in my house. I just live in a dead zone. I usually have one bar of service on my StarTac and will drop a call after a few minutes if I don't go outside. But my father comes over and can chat away on his phone and hardly ever drops a call and he has one of those boosters. Do they have any effect?...

My T720 finally died yesterday. I had been using my Timeport over the weekend, just for laughs, and when I switched it back to the 720, it powered on, the screen started acting really wierd, then it shut off, never to reawaken. New battery didn't help, but it's not a big deal. I'll ship it off to Motorola this afternoon. It's not like I don't have a pile of abandoned phones sitting on my desk anyway. There's a relatively new VX6000 in there, maybe I'll give that a whirl.

I know many of you hated that T720, but mine worked flawlessly from Day 1 until yesterday. I updated the firmware twice, and changed the front LCD cover once because I accidently smashed it on the corner of a desk. It was a good phone. I sent countless text message...

Hey All!
A co-worker at work has an Audiovox CDM-8900 currently connected to Metro-PCS and is thinking about porting over to Verizon. Since Verizon sells this phone as well, would he be able to activate it onto the Verizon network? Or is something different in the software where it would not work. Your advise and opinions please!
Chris 🙂

verizon has 10 new phones coming out by the end of the year...also our ptt system will be upgraded and blow nextel away...also we will have new plans like att's GO Phone plans...watch out cingular/att...verizon is finally playing hardball

I'm a new customus and I'm wondering which phone is nice and cheap. I'm not interested in those fancy features such as camera, just a phone with good signals.

Any advice will be so appreciated.

Hey if you guys aren't checking in on that forum every day you are all missing out on a good laugh. I have never seen anything so pathetic in my whole life. Maybe I'm just evil, or maybe its because another dealer I know started taking pre-orders for it in APRIL! He was all convinced that it would be out within a month. I also get a smug sense of self-satisfaction because two months ago I posted a couple of times saying that it wouldn't be out until at least August or maybe never. I'd say either one of those scenarios is proving to be a possibility. Does anybody else get as much perverse enjoyment out of this as I do?

Hello!
Long time lurker, first time poster...

My awful Cellular One contract is FINALLY up this August. Will there be any VZN plan revisions coming soon? Need to share 1400-1600 minutes, would like 2 flip phones, no cameras. ONE year contract (after being burned by C1 that's all I am comfortable with). Any professional opinions? Thanks.

I was just on Verizon's website and used the zipcode 99999 to look at their current and upcoming plans. They have a dummy already made for something called "North America's Choice" in addition to "America' Choice". Does anyone in here know if this means that Verizon is planning to offer a continent wide service through either roaming agreements or an addition to their already existing national network?

Is there a time limit to when you can use this plan? Because i was eligible since June 8th but the phone i want isn't available yet. So i was wondering if i can wait a number of months before i can use this. Thanks

treo 600 for 449.99 for two year,499.99 for 1 year.

I think a test wouldnt be so bad, i mean we could really weed out the people who dont have a clue about wireless service. on the other end of that spectrum, i hope it isnt too hard, LOL, yall might not see me again. 😁

muchas gracias

can anyone tell me about verizons future cellphones??

Hi everyone!

I recently purchased the Samsung a670 & love it! I'm trying to find out if there's any websites that support the VZW phone...everytime I go to a website for ringtones, they say that either they don't support VZW or the a670...

Does anyone know of any other option other than GIN?

Thanks in advance!

Sometime last night(thursday) a person z1 made a comment, and even he said, the "moderator" would most likely "kill" his thread. And I see today what he said is no longer on here.
So it seems like if you disagree with what everyone thinks, censorship kicks in?
Since when is phonescoop and Verizon part of the cold war theology?
I am disappointed with this website and Mr. Rich A. Brome.

WOoohoo!!

Verizon is releasing the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade tomorrow.

Does VZW lock their phones?

We are the 7 not of the 11 who are ok in the mind the great almighty z1.

Well I made one last stop at Verizon before selecting Cingular. I wanted a BT phone and both Verizon stores said "IT was coming and due to Verizon's 'Vigorous testing" has been delayed. In fact BT is been around a long time in phones while VErizon 'vigorously" tests!!!

The other snag was the limp 'extended services network"

Bottom line The massive Verizon coverage does not matter if your are not where only the buffalo roam. Shop for the phone then the carrier. In my case the T637 fit the bill after a try with the V600. someday Verizon will realize their "flea market" phones are indeed an issue. That day will be when GSM has equal coverage....where the buffalo roam.
