Mystery Phone

Okay . . . I just had something really weird happen. I had a customer come in with a Sidekick II who wanted to know when the Sidekick III would be coming out. I told him that I wasn't aware of a Sidekick III being released any time soon - then he proceeded to show me PICTURES of it!

The device was unbranded and he said that he got them from a friend. It was very thin, flipped out sideways, and had a full qwerty keyboard inside. It looked a little like I would think the so-called Razrberry would look. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Any recommendations on Prepaid service/coverage?

I may be the last person on the Eastern seaboard not to have a cell yet...finally looking at emergency-only prepaid plans. "betterthanjake" talked me out of Virgin in favor of T-Mobile to Go's plan...any other recommendations out there?

I'll only be using it while traveling in L.A., San Diego, suburbs of Chicago and Milwaukee; also Montreal, and occasionally in NYC where I live. How's T-Mobile's coverage? Many thanks, all...

Motorola & T-Mobile: Real Toys Please!!!

I have been with T-mobile for a few years and @ least 2 years with out a contract. When is T-mobile going to step there game up and release/get REAL Motorola toys? I want to leave but im very comfortable with “T”, but im also pissed because the company moves way too slow releasing/getting New Motorola phones. Every New Motorola product “T” releases, I get, only wanting to upgrade 3 months later. Not that there’s anything wrong with the products, but there’s a clear demand, no supply and no choice. So I’m stuck with my phone for like 6 months, only to have the option to buy a mediocre upgrade. (like the V600 & A630) Im TIRED of these tiny screens with less than 2.0 meg.pix cameras. (Ahem…V635) And no offence, that RAZR is not all what its ...

Upgrade Question

In previous posts it has been stated that when upgrading to a new phone after the 11th month of your contract the plan you are on coincides with the price break you get on the phone. My wife and I are on the $39.99 plans, but are #'s are on the same bill. Combined with our features we added, are bill together averages around $120 per month. Would we get a good upgrade price for a new phone, or would we be limited since our actual "plan" per # is $39.99? Thanks in advance for any insight! 😁

New Phones for TMO???

What's with TMobile having such plain phones? The only one worth anything was the V600 and now that's gone.

So many plain plastic phones and nothing of substance.

STEP UP TO THE PLATE TMO AND GET WITH THE GAME.....LOVE YA AND ALL BUT HATE YA RIGHT NOW!!

Just won...

A v600 from T-Mobile, or at least I think I did. The caller ID said "Call 1", and I'm pretty sure every other time Tmo has called me it has said that. They had me verify some account info and told me that I was one of 62 people who won a Motorola v600, which is actually kind of cool because I dropped my Samsung r225 and it stopped ringing a couple weeks ago (works fine otherwise, I just have to leave vibrate on), and I was waiting on the v635.

So do any Tmo reps know if this is legit? It seemed so, until I remembered that the v600 has been discontinued. So, is this just their way of getting rid of overstock? Just wanted to check and see if anyone else had heard of it.

Thanks!

A630 questions

1) Can u access the phonebook w/o opening the phone, from the external screen?

If so, can u press like 3, and it will bring u to the D's, and if u press 3 again, it will bring u to the E's?

2) Is the phone comfortable to talk on, w/o the speaker, when its closed?

3) Hows the RF?

4) If you make a call when its open, it activates the speaker right? so if u close it, will speaker still be on, or will it go back to the regular way you talk on a phone?

If it stays on speaker when its closed? is it possible to go back to the other way?

THANKS

free upgrades?

Hello,
does anybody know how you can receive an upgrade free phone if you're an existing customer?
I have a friend who got it from a sales rep in a store, but when I call t-mo customer service they tell me that i need to pay $50 for the upgrade.
By the way, I'm pretty frustrated with t-Mo's representatives, because every time I call they tell me different things. For example, one "knowledgeable" rep told me that the promo of 1000 anytime + unlimited nights and weekends for $46 would be permanent and if I wait 2 months I'd eligible for an upgrade. Well, I waited for 2 months and now neither the promo is there nor the free phone upgrade!
And I've been with them for almost 3 yrs! That's how they nurture their loyal customers!

New phones

I was at a T-Mobile store earlier in the week to see about upgrading my phone and the manager told me that the Moto v330 was not being sold due to some software issues. He also told me that there are several new BT phones on the way, notably from Samsung. I believe that one of these will be the SGH-D500 slider phone and the other might possibly be the SGH-e720 clamshell. I was also stunned to hear that T-Mo has plans to introduce the RAZR phone in the US this year. Apparently it will be a black model. I think that the RAZR can be seen if you look at T-Mobile's UK site.


I have no evidence to back any of this up, just reporting what I heard. Let's hope that most of this is true. It does make sense when you look at the T-Mo site right now ...

International roaming? Check ahead!

I am presently outside the US and have had international roaming provisioned for *years.* I specifically contacted T-Mobile CC reps prior to my leaving the states to make sure my international roaming was provisioned OK. I was told repeatedly that yes things were just fine. Well, I got off the plane in Amsterdam and I couldn't register on any of the five networks! My prepaid Vodafone account registered fine. I suspected something was awry so first tried to call T-Mobile's international roaming number +1 505 998 3792 first trying to call collect. They didn't go for that 🙂 So, my only other alternative was to use my prepaid Voda account to call the international roaming department. Spent 10 minutes waiting on hold and finally the guy s...

Tmobile phone question, need SMS with different alerts

Ok, here's what I want to do.

I am planning to swith to Tmob from ATT/Cing next month.

I need a phone that can beep once for general SMS messages (news, weather, friends) but play a REALLY LOUD alert for specified SMS (which I would designate via email addy).

Is this possible?
Otherwise I will have to get a pager and use that exclusively for txt alerts.

Basically, I'm trying to get out of getting a pager since I will already have a cell phone that can receive email txt messges.

Let me know if I explained that badly.

Thanks
