I currently have Sprint as my provider. She wants the Blackberry “Curve”, but I feel that we can get along fine with a Palm Centro, Motorola Q or the new Samsung Ace. The price of the actual phone is not an issue. I’ll be using my phone for email & internet browsing. She’s more into texting and e-mail (though she’ll be accessing the web also). With my current Sprint plan, full internet service would be included. The Blackberry network would cost me an additional $30/ month per phone. Any suggestions from actual experience with both email networks?
I’m not looking to switch from Sprint

i knew all along so there was no lying . the problem is that the other guy wants the test and custody. we are married and live in tn . the law says we can deny a DNA test.. i am a great father and wether she is mine or not i love her to death . the whole time she was pregnant this guy didnt give a ****. but now 6 months after she was born he wants to know.. i think he is obsessed with my wife and he just wants to try and split us up. even tho he knows she wants nothing to do with him. he can try all he wants but he has no right unless i say so. i hear he will never give up. what should i do?

Iphone pros and cons?
i am still trying to find out if the iphone is right for me. i like the way it feels and works. i like all the option with all the different applications.

here is what i use my phone for: a phone(obviously), texting, camera, some internet(email and searching stuff, sports scores etc…), games.

i have at&t as my provider.

i currently don’t have an internet plan on my black jackII which is an amazing phone. it is really simple to text and email due to the qwerty keyboard.

does anyone have an i phone? any pros and cons you can give me?

how is the plan? is it true that you have to have the internet service plan in order for the phone to operate?

how in the touch screen response? how is reception?

any info in helping determine if it would be worth getting the phone and adding the unlimited internet.

The woman found out she was pregnant 3 weeks after they split. When she told him, he said he’d help but when the baby arrived he wanted a DNA test to make sure the kid was his & he’d pay for it. She got mad & stopped returning calls & didn’t let him help her throughout the pregnancy cause she was mad at him. She also exaggerated to some co-workers that he wasn’t helping her & didn’t want anything to do with her or the baby. She also told him he wasn’t allowed to come see the baby in the hospital when she delivered. After the baby was born he did pay for a DNA test she wouldn’t show up for & he ended up taking her to court to make her get it done. He also had to take her to court to get visitation cause she wouldn’t show up at agreed meetings. I know that he was thrown around foster homes in his childhood & wanted to be a good dad since he never had one. Now he wants to sue for emotional distress. Can he, would he likely win, can she sue too since he wasn’t there for her?
Would the courts see that she just did those things out of anger & throw it out??
The DNA test he paid for would’ve been completely legal… if that might help

Is there any governing body I can write to in order to file an official complaint with Verizon DSL. I ask because it seems that Verizon DSL has terrible internet and customer service. It took one month before they could actually give me functional internet. I have my business and my first month of internet service consisted of dropped internet connection while in online web meetings with potential clients. The internet was shutting down many times per day stopping me from working because I depend heavily on the internet. Please let me know if there is anyone beyond Verizon I can send my following complaint below to. If you have any other advice, please feel free to let me know.Thanks.

My complaint (you don’t have to read it all but it’s horrible):
I recently moved in January from Costa Mesa, CA to West Covina, CA. I had to change my DSL provider from AT&T to Verizon. I was told by an automated voicemail message that my DSL would be activated on Tuesday January 12, 2010.

So I was looking forward to have internet as I have my own business (Drakenology Inc.) that does web page development work and heavily depends on using the internet to send customers email and to talk to my customers over the web cam in meetings. So on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, I hooked up my DSL. And I have done this plenty of times as I was an AT&T DSL customer for 4 and half years. So the internet did not work even though Verizon said my DSL was not activated. So I just decided to wait until the next day.

So I waited until the next day Wednesday, January 13, 2010 until 2pm. I restarted my modem and my computer and made sure the modem was on and it was directly connected to the phone line. It still did not work. So I called tech support. They did everything in their power to fix it as I was on the phone getting direction from them for more than three hours. After three hours they decided to actually bring a tech service man to come to my house to fix my DSL internet. They scheduled the appointment for the tech service man to come to my house on Monday, January 18, 2010. First of all I was unhappy that my internet did not work as I had to do work for my home business. And secondly I was unhappy that I had to wait 6 days for someone to come fix my DSL internet. I was losing 6 days of productivity in my business. This was ridiculous.

So after six days of no internet the tech service man finally shows up on Monday morning around 9am on January 18, 2010. He turned on my computer and saw that the internet was not working. He then told me the action tek modem I had was not compatible with Verizon DSL. I told him I used the same modem for AT&T DSL and it worked fine. I then later told him the modem was a year old and I bought this modem myself and it was not an approved AT&T modem. He just kept on telling me I needed a new modem. He recommended two modems to me which was the westtell and another type of action tek. So I went to best buy and bought the action tek. After a couple hours of troubleshooting it did not work. And then I was getting even more upset since this Verizon DSL Tech told me to buy this modem. He told me it would work and it did not. So I was wasting my time and my money on a non functional modem he had told me to get. So I went out on my own and bought another modem. I bought a modem that the tech service man did not recommend. So I set up my internet and the generic modem (model name zoom ADSL X6) started to work properly and now my internet was working.

I then called Verizon to voice my unhappiness and told them that I did not want to get billed for internet starting on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 because I did not have functional DSL internet until Tuesday, January 19, 2010. This was one week late! This cost me time and money for my business. So the supervisor was nice and said a few things to me: She said that the tech service man did not follow standard procedure in diagnosing my problem. The tech service man should have brought a modem with him to check the internet problem. Then she gave me a 25 dollar credit to my account. But I was really angered when she told me that your own Verizon tech person did not follow standard Verizon procedure and bring a modem with him to check my internet properly. He just looked at my modem and told me to buy an approved modem which ended up not working. He could have saved me time and money if he brought his approved modem to really check out my internet the right way. I had to go out of my way and get a modem he approved that didn’t even work.

So I started using my DSL internet with the generic modem of my choice (model name zoom ADSL X6) and it worked, but I came to realize that the internet speed was so very slow. I went online to run a speed test. I remember that my previous service provider of AT&T was many times faster. So after a couple weeks I finally decided to call Verizon. It took me so long time because I was wishing that the problem would resolve itse

I have a girlfriend and her daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. She dated the same man for about a year,split with him briefly, and slept with a random guy once (unprotected sex). Now, 5 weeks later, she’s back with the boyfriend and pregnant. Boyfriend doesn’t know about the one nighter which happened around the estimated contriception date the doctor gave her. Should I advise the boyfriend that he may want to get a paternity test prior to allowing his name to be put on the birth certificate (he’ll be paying child support for 18 years if his name is on the document, regardless of DNA tests later). Or, would you just let that happen and figure it’s none of your business? The Boyfriend and my girlfriends daughter aren’t together again: My friend (pregnant woman’s daughter) thinks she’ll get child support out of the ex boyfriend where the one night stand won’t pay anything. Very selfish thinking. What would you do?

I have had my internet service for maybe 3 months and recently opened a bank account (month maybe). There were some unauthorized charges on my account and I got a call from the bank and I filed a claim to dispute the charges. The next day I get a police officer at my door saying someone with an email address linked to mine emailed for help or something. I told them no they have the wrong information or address. I finished all of the paperwork with the bank today and now 2 detectives come to my door saying this person is still sending emails and it is somehow connected to my isp.

The times these emails were sent I was not home and other bank transactions show that. So how is this possible?

I did some research on Evil twins which trick wireless users into connecting a laptop or PDA to a tainted hotspot by posing as a legitimate wi-fi provider. Once you connect to their wireless network, the evil twins can watch your online activities and steal your confidential information.

Is this a possible answer to what is going on?

The detective is telling me I will go to jail for filing the claim but I feel like I have no choice since they aren’t listening to me and I know I am not the one doing these things. Any advice on what could be going on?

This person or people has all together opened a pay pal account with an email, my bank account number and routing number, and address. All which are found on a voided check.

They have used this service with my name and address information to talk with this Doctor asking for help who is in turn calling the police to MY house. I am so confused!!!!

vonage is a scam?
icon1 admin | icon2 Land Phones | icon4 07 30th, 2010| icon3No Comments »


Everything Started when I decided to switch my phone provider to Vonage in june 25. I will disclosed all the charges:
1 connection fee 9.95 – when I asked if Vonage was compatible with my internet provider clearwire they said yes. And is not true.
2. When attempted to call and cancell before it was too late they promised send a wi-fi phone no charge to give a try and promise it will work. Not true it was a lie.
3. After spending over more than two hours new device worked for one hour only.
4. call to cancell only had to call in business hours their dept. that handles cancellation was closed.
5. Got an authorized charge for aprox. $66.00. Called to disputed, no help at all. Only rudness and my call was disconnected eventually by one of vonage representatives. After spending over one hour on the phone.
6. Sent an email to their corporate offices they said they do not have any records of all they promises and said I had to pay the shipping and handling to return their device and if I wanted to close account with them had to pay $95.00 for a service I was never able to use. Plus 19.30 in shipping and handling.
7. total charges 190.25 for a service I never received and bad customer service.
This company is a scam and I think all american consumers should be aware of this.
