I am currently in western massachusetts and suddenly when I check my
minutes they have been good to the hour. I usually check it at night
after 11pm it usually tells me minutes as of 8:45pm or 10:58pm . I
have unlimted NW so of course anytime after 8:30 is good. Suddenly

I have been a Verizon customer since the early 90s when it was Bell
Atlantic Mobile, but switched yesterday to Alltel. I live in the
Carolinas and Alltel offers a "local freedom" plan now with 1,300
anytime minutes in North or South Carolina, plus unlimited night and

I currently have Sprint coverage and have had it for many years.  I travel
about 21 days a month throughout the entire USA and use my phone
extensively.  My plan is also great, $85.00/month for 2000 anytime minutes,
shared between my wife's phone and mine, unlimited night and ...

Apparently, the conversion isn't done yet.
Despite notices earlier to "come back on April 18th", VZW has shut
down the "My Account" access for those of us in the Ohio market all
weekend long.  It's supposed to be back up tomorrow.

IIRC, there is an organization that will take old phones...anyone know what
it is?

The LG manual purports the phone to be able to prepend area codes
to memorized numbers, but I haven't figured out how. The
instructions have been less than helpful:
Prepending a Stored Number

I was told by the salesman this would just appear on my bill (I produced
NYS id on purchase).  Of course, it didn't.  Customer Service is now
telling me I have to fax in a particular document to get this.  Can anybody
confirm if this is how it works?

I have Googled this group and banged my head on the desk a lot so it's time
to ask for help.  Last fall I used my laptop and vx4400 for Express Network
without a hitch.  I have the FutureDial straight USB cable and the FD
drivers.

Anyone with knowledge as to when Verizon will be carrying the Motorola V710.
Features guarantee it will be a huge seller for Verizon.

Still trying to learn enough to be able to ask an intelligent
question, and to be able to intelligently select a plan...
Does Verizon permit a subscriber to make "off-plan" calls?
(I don't even know if that is the proper terminology), but what I am

I am looking to port to Verizon from Cingular. I read a post on this board
where someone ported and now has to dial the area code & number with every call
they make. Is that normal with porting or did this person have a problem of
their own. Thanks

Can I get a Sprint phone and have the same coverage as a Verizon
customer (according to many folks, Verizon has the best coverage where
I live, DC area)?  I read somewhere that Verizon and Sprint allow
their customers to roam on each others network.  If this is true, why

I was hoping that someone might know if Verizon has a military clause to
release you from your contracts. I recently moved to an area where
verizon is not offered. Although I have a Nation wide the reception is
terrible and I would like to try and get out without losing my deposits

Just a warning to AVOID Pay-Less Cellular in Los Angeles.
Payless is a re-seller of Verizon and Cingular and AT&T. They may lure
you in with slightly better pricing but, in my opinion, thePay-less
billing practices are unscrupulous and best avoided.

The VX 4400B seems to be easy to unintentionally put into Manners Mode via
the Voice Memo Key when the phone is closed.  I've looked in the manual, but
haven't seen a way to disable that key to prevent this from happening.  Is
there a way to do this, other than gluing the key so ...
