    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.

    And Verizon has done you wrong how? that you want to move to Cingular?

    be careful. The evil you know may not be as bad as the evil you don't
    know.

    Re: Need help becoming a Cingular agent; but I can help you with any verizon questions

    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.

    Re: Need help becoming a Cingular agent; but I can help you with any verizon questions

    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.

    If you are still looking to become an agent contact this Master Dealer.

    I have not heard him say anything. I have read what he has written and
    while acknowledging that my own grammar skills are not stellar, find
    much understanding in his words.
