Around 11am this morning, I noticed that I wasn’t getting anymore Twitter updates. I tried to make phone calls and nothing would go through. I took the battery out, let it sit there, and tried again. Nothing. My cell phone won’t get a signal anymore. To make matters worse, I don’t have insurance on it.
So, don’t call or send text messages. I’ll only check for voicemail messages a few times throughout the day. Email is your only bet. If you need to, leave me your number and I’ll call back from a landline.
[Idea] Hey, Verizon Wireless! Can you send me a phone to review until November 17, 2008? That’s when I can upgrade my mom’s phone and I could use her old phone. Or, if you can help out a faithful customer by sending me a refurb, that would be great, too.
This hurts.
Update 6:55am 9/5/08 – Weird. My phone is back to normal? Yay for now, but I’m going to assume it’s gonna do this again.

just buy a crappy one on ebay – like $30 or so. That’s what I did until I could upgrade. and go to verizon and see what the problem is. even if you don’t have insurance, they may be willing to check it out for ya.

I’m looking, but I’m hoping one of my friends has their old one. I actually lent my old one out last year because of the same thing.
I actually did call VZW tech support and after some troubleshooting, there’s nothing they could do.

Son, it is time to join the Dark Side….
Quit Verizon, get a Sim Chip through AT&T or T-Mobile, email our friends at WOM World and stop messing around with a shitty carrier like V.
Get a real Phone.
:oD

The majority of my friends use Verizon Wireless, so it wouldn’t be effective to switch. Aside from this, I get a better signal with them at home than AT&T.
Even if I did want to switch, I’m still under contract. No way I’ll pay the ETF.

I’m praying for your current phone, Bryan. I hope it lasts until November 17. 🙂
