We don't. But we're working on changing that. A *little*=20

Why would he eat crow ... Phillipe? He has no control on when SPCS will
initiate the newly designed service.

Well, FYI I've had experience with plenty of phones on SPCS, and GTE
digital and analog before that; including Motorola and Nokia.

The LG5250 really did work great for me..

Anyway, I got the Sanyo 5500/VM4500 on Sunday night and it is a really
sweet phone. Unfortunately, I think the CSR at the Encinitas, CA
store was lazy or something because he said my Vision couldn't kick in
until my billing cycle switched on the 15th. So I'm stuck waiting to
do anything cool with it until next week

He also said that I'd misread the plans on the web where you could get
Add-A-Phone for free if you signed a two-year contract - he said it's
only on the 2000 minute plan. Anyway, whatever.. we tried to get our
monthly bill down some without any success.

And Yes, this Sanyo is WAY nicer than my LG5250 (also several
generations newer); but my LG was still great in my experience!

December, Steve. We've been authorized to say that much now. A LOT of
customers were calling in to complain about the error message they get
when they try it.

Hmm... that's funny, I guess you're illiterate, Phillipe. Nowhere in
that post Do the words "I PROMISE" appear.

Interesting that I asked "Chris McFarland", and "David" answered.

But then, Accuracy and honesty never really have been his strong suit.

Why do you care? You don't use Sprint anymore. You went to ATT, which
currently (according to user posts) has the WORST customer service in the
industry.

A message showed up in our updates just yesterday. SMS is scheduled for
rollout "in December." But that's all we've been told. And yes,
apparentl
y,
we *have* received quite a few calls, which is why, I suspect, we were
authorized to give the December information.

Ya know Phillipe, if Rob wants to pursue this, he can go after you for
providing misquotes ... as you did above.

If he had any credibility left, maybe there'd be something to it. As it=20
stands now, though, the only ones still buying what he's spewing is his=20
other 45 ID's.

In October O/sirus swore to use he had inside information it was
December. Now he gets upset if we remind of of that fact, and lies to
cover up.
