CSR's stymied by SprintPCS computer security.

So my Sanyo RL5400 is wierding out and I'm told to call an 877 number
for Tech Support.

I call the number and the CSR goes to a webpage @ pinpoint.com for
"Known Sanyo Issues",
and tells me:

"I can't get to the web page now, must be our new Firewall".

Dropped Calls.

Party at other end saying "You're breaking up"

Network Busy Messages.


I would swear its a bad local tower, except, I get 4 bars signal, and my
wife's Identical phone has no such issues.

Yeah it does sound like on the surface it should be a tower problem.
Have you tried dialing *18? I don't even know if that works anymore.
Did you and your wife get the phones at the same time? The network busy
messages is very puzzling.

Good luck trying to call CS. Let us know how they helped, if they do at
all.

*18 DOES NOT WORK ON SPRINT PCS'S SYSTEM. IT IS MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE
PROBLEMS THAN NOT. (You obviously haven't been reading the recent threads)

Wow, no need for the shouting. I didn't know if it still worked or not,
that's is why I stated that in my post. And no, I don't read all the
threads in this newsgroup... just the ones that interest me.

OK... well, it was made very clear that *18 may *cause* problems if you
use it.

Sorry about the shouting.
