    How well your carrier respects you online

    Out of a maximum of 10:

    Nextel 9.1
    Verizon 8.8
    Sprint 8.6
    AT&T Wireless8.0
    T-Mobile 8.0
    Cingular 5.3

    http://www.ivapp.com/offer/cust_resp...TelcoS03PR.pdf

    Cingular did amazingly bad, but I think one big reason is that
    they have discontinued their e-mail customer support so they
    must have gotten a 0 in the responsiveness category. All of the
    other carriers still offer on-line support.

    "Rubbish. Not True. See my previous post."

    Just kidding. But I thought I'd beat Navas to the punch.

    After all, if CingularGSM doesn't answer your email, then it wasn't meant to
    be online anyways, right?

    As of July 2002, I could check my AT&T voicemail from a landline by calling
    my number and hitting #, just like Verizon.

    Or, like every carrier AFAIK, dial your own mobile number and hit either *
    or # when the greeting comes on.

    Sprint claims to try for 24 hour email response, but responses (that
    come in the middle of the night) are closer to 72 hours than 24.

    Sometimes I think about adding the "Rubbish" and "Not True"
    myself, just to save him the trouble!

    I left out the VM checking on Sprint and T-Mobile because it does
    not work in all areas. I am going to add it in with the caveat that it
    it doesn't work in all areas.

    There are advantages in having a separate number for voice
    mail checking (which is why this capability was started in the
    first place). In some areas, Sprint and T-Mobile still have this
    capability with local numbers, T-Mobile at least has one number
    that works everywhere, but it is not toll-free.

    Not a bad idea, but would the modern market looking for cute small phones

    True, the -9999 option won't work in all areas, since some areas use
    -MAIL (6245) instead. It was posted in another reply in this thread
    that you can just dial your own number, and hit * to get into your VM
    from your mobile. AFAIK, that will work anywhere. TM standardized all
    of their regions/former companies on one voicemail system in 2002. It
    only costs you if you are on a regional plan, and out of your region.

    If all things were equal, that would be true. But, alas, they are
    not. Verizon sucks when the cell breathes. T-Mobile sucks in the
    country. Sprint PCS sucks.

    All of my e-mails were answered about four days later. Read my horror
    story on the Sprint PCS board. Sprint disappointed me severely.
