11/28   Cell phone experts:  I have an old phone with verizon.  Somebody
        recently gave me a newer CDMA phone that was also with verizon.
        Can I switch my number from my old phone to the new phone by myself?
        Or do I need to go to verizon (and get charged a fee possibly?)  I've
        been playing around with this new phone to see if there's a change
        number option.  I'm not good at these gadgets.  Thanks.
        \_ Go to Verizon.  - cell phone expert
        \_ remove old sim card, insert in new phone?
                \_ That's only for european phones.
                   \_ only works for GSM phone which is not being locked by
                      the carrier.  AT&T and T-Mobile is known for locking its
                      phones. Cingular is starting to do the same thing
        \_ You can either go to Verizon or just call up customer support
           and they'll guide you through it. It only takes a few minutes,
           and no, it doesn't cost. Look online for their 1-800 number.
        \_ Go to Verizon.

10/2    I'm with Verizon and debating between the LG ENV2 and Blackberry
        Curve. Any recommendations from anyone? Thanks.
        \_ ditch verizon, go for GOOG G1 end of Oct 2008
        \_ Apple has been hiring ENV2 people like crazy...Verizon will
           soon offer an iPhone plan too.

3/4     I'm thinking of moving to a shack in Montana.  Can I turn
        my tmobile cell phone number somehow to Skype ?
        \_ Yup
           \_ Has anyone done this?  Will they forward this to another
              number?
        \_ I recommend insulting your shack well.

2/16    My Verizon contract is expiring soon (2 months) and I'm
        debating whether to switch to AT&T or not, mostly because of
        the nicer phones. Is there any big reason for me to remain
        with Verizon, or a big reason not to make the switch? I know
        Verizon claims they'll allow "outside" phones onto their network
        this year, but I'm not sure that'll be as great as they make

6/30    JOBS IS YOUR NEW GOD
        \_ Maybe he will actually allow his OS to run in a VM some day.
           I don't get all of the iPhone hype. It's a phone. It's a nice
           phone, but it's a phone. It doesn't do anything existing
           devices didn't do, do them cheaper, or possibly even better (I
           haven't used one yet, so I can't say). Why is there so much

4/19    I've been on verizon for a few years now, and haven't had many problems,
        but I don't like their selection of phones. I'm considering Cingular.
        Does anyone have any significant pros/cons for a Verizon to Cingular
        switch? Thanks.
        \_ You can't ask anything about phone companies and expect a consistent
           answer. It's like a game of the musical chair. Company A gives you

11/7    I don't know why this was deleted so reposting:
        Thinking of switching from Verizon to Cingular.  Mostly use in Mountain
        View and sometimes Berkeley.  Thoughts?
        \_ Cingular is pretty good in the South Bay. I haven't had any problems
           in the 4+ years I've been w/ AT&T and Cingular. One downside,
           Cingular's unlimited data plan is (was?) pretty expensive. --ranga
