Analog will be gone the minute the FCC says. |
Do you know when Verizon is getting rid of analog? The store manager I talked to today said Verizon was disconnecting their entire analog network in February. She also claimed my Treo 600's would stop working then in an attempt to sell me 24 new Treos. I know that's BS so she might also be wrong about the analog shutdown.
BlackDog714, I was there to ask if we could get a single contact/salesperson to deal with at Verizon as you recommended. Thanks for that. I had to fill-out a bunch of paperwork and sign a two year contract on the 24 phones to be considered for it. I hope we're approved because I'm tired of dealing with the people at the store that are a step below McDonalds help.
If you need more Tx strength, buy a good booster like these |
Very interesting. I just ordered one from Amazon.com. I might be ordering a dozen more for our work trucks if that works. They also sell a Yagi antenna to go with it that they claim has a 50 mile range. If that works, that would be great for traveling through WV. I've been stuck there (once in snow and another with a broken belt) w/o cellphone service twice recently.z |
Good God I hate the stores... I know you have had problems with VZW and more than half has been that store. For that I personally apologize.
No, I have heard nothing about Feb being the date for the shutdown... Even if that were the case, it wouldnt effect your Treo 600's. I hate (almost) all salespeople. I wish I had more control over the sales people, as lying to make a sale only infuriates your customer and drives them away, even if you have the BEST product.
Good luck with your account rep. Remember this word of advise, when you meet your rep for the first time, you ask him for the name and card of his/her supervisor/manager. If at any time you dont feel you are getting the best possible service from your rep, give that other number a try. I deal with the business reps ALL the time and have found that they offer a MUCH better service to their customers.
If the boosters work, talk to your acct rep about getting partially reimbursed. You never know, he/she just might do it
