dr.wireMORE@VZW-MidWESTma - 18 Apr 2005 19:24 GMT Hello, I have tried all the 800 numbers to no joy. Like VZW, there is an art to finding the right person/place. If you can help me with a number to a live person about Cingular Indirect Sales, that would be great. We would like to move our retail locations from VZW to Cingular... neat, huh!
I can return some useless information: if you have a question about verizon and how it cross-applies to cingular; perhaps I can help. In respect for this group, an email is in the below signature.
I hope to become an active part of your group, quietly listening, and offering a valid comment or two when I think I can contribute.

be careful. The evil you know may not be as bad as the evil you don't know.
dr.wireMORE@formerVZW-MidWESTma - 20 Apr 2005 06:54 GMT Had no trouble finding the alliance paperwork, just needed to follow-the-links, thank you.
And what wrong did VZW do... it was more of a business issue and ethics. Without getting into details, they decided after three years on Friday at 3:30pm, to send me a fax that they decided (without reason or explanation) to not renew my agency status. Effective next day.
That said: - free "in", is just a tad misleading, someone might think it was free INbound calling. - free for life, or program for life comes with the caveat (unless they decide to change it) - we won't publish your phone number (but later disclaimer that they have already given your information to a 3rd party marketing company) - latest change to no roaming; begs the possibility of your phone implying there is no service, when there is service AND 911 connectibility. So what does no-service means on a VZW phone - we represented them fairly, they paid us fairly. Even up I'd guess.
That said: I'm happy for my good 3 yrs; and interested in monitoring what is good about Cingular.
Thanks for asking: dr.

Effective next day. Were you possibly not meeting a quota, or missing a quota (i.e. too much churn)?

Gosh, imagine a cellular company advertising something that requires you to read the fine print...

dr.wireMORE@formerVZW-MidWESTma - 24 Apr 2005 01:53 GMT Gee, questions about me and vzw; maybe I have to pay dues to be in this group (hah) 1) avg per door volume in our area was 30, we were higher than that 2) No warnings, no complaints, nothing 3) If we were Under quota, our contract provides for a 90 day action plan 4) The contract itself provides for 30 day notice if they are going to terminate/not-renew
The fine print of the contract says that they don't have to provide me a reason. I've said the same things twice, that's it. What else? Well, we do share our experiences on the internet; we have coined the word wireMORE, because anybody can give you wireLESS.
Other factors? Well, we were one of the smallest agents in the area; VZW had give up three corporate locations and "given" them to the largest area agent (given might not be fair, we will call it negotiated); and when people have "trouble" with their service, or have been to every other place with no resolution, they make their way to us, and we help em.
Who do we help: the little old lady who has USCellular, but didn't understand what she was doing; the parent with a child on medication who abused their Sprint service and got a big bill; the person who didn't realize that when they changed their minutes (worry free) that it triggered a new 2 yr contract.
We are under the impression that the American public has gotten used to mediocrity. What makes us different? Easy enough: we don't think your necessarily entitled to MORE, but you certaintly shouldn't get LESS. Therefore, we try and give a full measure of service to people.
Thought about leaving our official web site, but we are not peddling to this group, just trying to move on from a less than thrilling departure from VZW.
If you send me mail; I'll try and answer any VZW questions; but for this post, I think most if not all will be tired of any vzw discussion. Me too.
