From what i heard from my co-workers it's fine but just annoying as fuck.......but besides that just more money in our pockets!


anyone do it yet? good bad feedback....ect...

 

pain in the ass.

 

Yea i have something similar to that also......i just cant wait till i hear customers bitch and complain!!

 

porting is easy as cake... we have a 1,000+ employee dedicated call center just for porting trouble ticket resolution....

no worries at the communications stores all day long....

i got various text messages this morning saying that people were on line waiting for the stores to open.... apparantly word is we received most of our port-in requests today from... well.... you know.... the other CDMA provider....

 

I really didn't think there would be much action today. Ken and I were in agreement about that.

God were we wrong! If this keeps pace, things are gonna be F'ed up in the industry.

I heard the reports about the lines at the stores, how bad was your store with people coming into Verizon, yuppie? People were happy to wait in some markets for like an hour!

 

my store had normal action....

 

at 8.30am my location had apparantly 10 people already standing opposite the glass doors.... a full 1.5 hrs before we opened. i didnt get the report of the end of day numbers, i know they were busy... by noon they were up to 42 new activations. december is going to be a killer. no word on if any systems crashed.... i'm off until wednesday, so hopefully most technical issues are desolved by then...

 

i need to quit my fucking cingular 42 new? holy shit by noon? wow cingular fucking sucks..

 

There are reports on the cellular newsgroups with actual store numbers. It's "interesting."

 

correction... my apologies to ken....

highest port-in from a service provider was AT&T Wireless...

to VZW that is...

 

you know better than to trust those people

 

ATT has many more customers to give up. I haven't seen a report with the ratios in it yet ... that will tell for sure.

 

a 24 hour local news channel yesterday had reporters at the areas largest Verizon/Sprint/Cingular stores...

The all seemed equally busy. I've heard people switching to Cingular for carry over minutes... I've heard people switching to Verizon and Sprint cuz their Verizon and Sprint.

I've heard alot of people LEAVING Nextel... NOBODY going to them.

And I dont know anyone going to ATT... but their fairly new in this market.

I know a few people going to T-Mobile... who has good coverage and good phones around here.

 

Yes, I know. BUT....

For whatever reason, there are some store people that have printed out the stats from their computer and have posted some kind of tally "unofficial" tally sheet, I don't know what they got going on in the store these days.

Can't make that stuff up.....

 

okay, some official reports are in. i won't post them (obviously) but the figures are something like 20 in for every 1 out. most are coming from At&t and Sprint.

 

lol why not post them? create another account and post. not like imma give up your IP if anyone asks. lol


me thinks fotis is pulling #'s out his ass.

 

nah... not really.... i wouldn't call it 20 to 1 here in NY metro.... maybe in Mineeeeeesooooota.... he conferenced in the numbers today, so they're pretty close to that....

its like 10 to 1 here in the NY metro market.... still awesome.

btw, albany belongs to Upstate NY.... obviously....
