Unwanted Windows Live Weather Alerts
In: GSM| RANTING| Software| Technology
31 Oct 2007We got Samantha a new T-Mobile cell a few weeks back. But it came with an unwanted and expensive feature: every morning at 11:00, she receives a weather update from Windows Live Alerts.
Apparently the previous owner of the number had these alerts programmed. And of course, there is no way to shut them off because [...]
Dear Sprint (PCS): You suck!
In: GSM
16 Oct 2007Samantha’s second Samsung A560 died last week, so I got mad and called Sprint to try and get out of the contract. No way — a kidney and my eldest child is the only way to get out of this deal with the devil.
So, until March 2008, the phone will be powered down and stuck [...]
T-Mobile: Redemption is yours
In: Technology
22 May 2007Last night, I spent over an hour on the phone with three very friendly and helpful T-Mobile tech support representatives, and guess what? The troublesome Samsung T619 I slammed a couple of weeks ago is now able to send and receive text messages.
I was impressed with the efficiency of the T-Mobile team, and the Tier [...]
T-Mobile: Drop the Cheap Samsung T619
In: RANTING
12 May 2007I actually upgraded my phone through T-Mobile about a month ago, and it was a mistake. I went with the Free upgrade (mistake number one) and chose the Samsung SGH-T619.
It’s a piece of crap. I guess I should have known that when I chose the free upgrade.
My biggest complaint: it won’t send text messages. That’s [...]
Razr: MIDPSSH works just fine
In: Technology
30 May 2006Just got MIDPSSH to work on my Razr. Had to perform a few hacks to get around the T-Mobile Firewall (SSHD now listens on port 110), but there is some perverse pleasure in seeing a linux command prompt on my Razr.
Maybe I need to do some real work now.

blunderphone delayed
In: smp
16 Aug 2005Seems there was a “glitch” with the blunderphone order with TMobile.
Because I asked for, and got, a discount for being a customer for one year, the order had to be approved by a supervisor. Guess the request was stuck between the order desk and the supervisor, where it languished for 3 days.
Glad I called to [...]
The New Blunder Phone
In: smp
12 Aug 2005So, I took advantage of the T-Mobile Upgrade a year program yesterday and went for the Motorola V188.[here and here]
Should be here next week. And no, I have no clue how Julia Roberts got my cell number.
