Back on the grid
Got my phone yesterday and got it all charged up. Works like a charm, so I’m back in modern life.
It sucked not having a phone for a couple days, but from a customer-service perspective, it was a pretty good experience. Got the phone via FedEx when I was supposed to, and it worked beautifully. Verizon’s customer service has always been really helpful, and I strongly recommend the company.
I didn’t want to re-enter all the contacts manually, so I used a little app by Verizon called Backup Assistant. It backs up contacts to a remote server over the air. Then when you get a new phone, or your phone gets wiped out, just install the Backup Assistant app and restore all the contacts. It worked great. Costs $1.99 a month, though.
I used it and then deleted it, because I’ve got better uses for two bucks a month.
If the application also backed up ringtones, photos and text messages, I’d gladly pay $2/month. Are you listening, Verizon?
I heartily recommend you NOT get Verizon. I’m currently involved in a lawsuit because they filed a black mark on my credit report for cancelling a month-to-month contract.
They’d bill me. I’d call and send proof.
They’d bill me. I’d call and send proof.
They’d bill me. I’d call and send proof.
They’d bill me. I’d call, and send a certified letter, return receipt requested.
They’d bill me….. Finally AMEX told them to suck wind.
I now have their mark on my credit for “bad debt.” Because of this, my insurance rates went up, and I had a credit card (that I didn’t use) cancelled.
Yep… Stay away from Verizon. They are a bunch of robots.
Matt - I just within the past 3 weeks got my first cell phone. I admit, they’re handy, but call me old fashioned, I don’t see why so many people need them.
