    Re: Dear Verizon

    That sucks. If I want an hd cable box, all I have to do is go to the Optonline store with the old box and they hand me a shiny new hd box.
    Oh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.

    Re: Dear Verizon

    I bid on one (same phone I have now) on Ebay. Current bid is $6 (way better than the $62 the used cell phone store out here wanted to charge me) and shipping is only about $7.

    Re: Dear Verizon

    i used to be able to do that with cable....

    after speaking with a manager, apparently there is some glitch in their system that precludes an order from going thru on my account....so they have to clear that, which means they have to send a request to another department which will take 3-5 business days......then they can call me back with an order and a day to come out......

    Re: Dear Verizon

    My wifes phone died, so I replaced it with an ebay phone until we were up for renewal at Cingular. It was a GAIT system phone so that limited the options.

    I have Directv and have ever since I was stuck with Multimedia Cablevision in The Village. We have Time Warner Cable here, there is no way I would get something that has Bevo On-Demand and a dedicated Longhorn sports channel. I have heard the Georgetown burb is supposed to be getting FIOS.

    Verizon is supposed to be pretty good on customer service as a company. It sounds like your account got caught in neverland. I would push them to see if you can get something for your trouble. Maybe six months of HD box rental at the non-HD rental price. It isn't as much value as a day off, but it's something.

    Re: Dear Verizon

    Jk, I was going to order FIOS last summer. However, I am not authorized to make changes on our account. The one I set up in 1989. That I pay the bills on. That they won't let me be added as a person authorized to make changes.

    I will stick with the crappy TW (who changed their line-up without warning last week) until Verizon will take the order from me. Or until we move, which may come first.

So, in order to get a new phone right now I would have to pay at least $120 (full retail on the cheapest phone they had in the store). I'm not very happy with them right now either. I can't access anything on my phone (phonebook, text messaging, etc...) because I can't see anything on the screen...Apparently there is no way for them to fix this in the store either...bastages.

    Find out if you can connect it to your PC and transfer everything over that way.

    Then buy a cheap phone on eBay, swap SIM cards and you're set.

    The guy I was talking to said everything is stored on the battery and if you put the old battery on the new phone everything will be transferred with the battery (don't know if that is true or not, as this is the guy from the used cell phone place that told me this...)

    oh, and the one I am bidding on ends in 23 hours...Looks like I may actually get the phone for $5 plus $6.50 s&h...

    I think it stores on the SIM card, not the battery.

    But saying it's stored in the battery sounds so much cooler. Plus, he was probably afraid that someone might ask him what SIM stands for.

    Well half the problem is that the guy you're talking to doesn't know jack ****, so you might try talking to someone else

    ding ding ding, even Baja knows this and she a member of the Old Clique

    sims cards are very handy since they store everything (well, normally depends on certain settings in the phone)
