If you plan on using a BlackBerry device, you are required by Verizon to have a BlackBerry data plan. There is no way around this, as they will not activate any BlackBerry onto their network without one.

Don't want a BlackBerry? Thinking about a different smartphone? Some of them can be activated without a data plan, like the Motorola Q, Palm Centro, etc.

If the phones release date is newer than November 14th, 2008, you will need a data plan, like the Samsung Omnia.

This thread will be left open for discussion about the data plans. Feel free to ask questions.]]> http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=77967 Verizon Heavy Fluid> iPhone Mafia codes - the one and only thread http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=77965 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 14:49:55 GMT

Just as we expected, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless has announced that it has completed its acquisition of Alltel Corporation from Atlantis Holdings LLC, creating the largest wireless carrier in the United States as a result. Verizon paid approximately $5.9 billion for the equity of Alltel, and assumed Alltel’s debt of approximately $22.2 billion.
The acquisition expands Verizon Wireless’ network coverage to approximately 290 million people, nearly the entire United States population, and increases the company’s customers by 12.9 million, after conforming adjustments and before required divestitures, making it the largest wireless carrier in the country with more than 83.7 million total customers, based on third quarter 2008 reported results from both companies. Approximately 2.1 million of those total customers are in markets that will be divested by Verizon Wireless in the coming months, as required by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as a condition of the merger approval.
In markets that will be retained and combined with Verizon Wireless’ operations, the company will continue to use the Alltel brand for the next several months, and will maintain Alltel’s existing GSM networks in retained Alltel markets to continue serving the roaming needs of GSM carriers’ customers. Alltel customers in markets to be retained will receive a letter during the next few weeks informing them about the acquisition and new services (i.e. mobile broadband) that will be available to them when they transition to Verizon Wireless.
No action is needed by Alltel’s existing customers at this time. Customers’ current service plans, prices and features will remain the same throughout the transition. Verizon Wireless will notify customers, by mail, about any changes that may impact their service in the future.
Verizon Wireless will re-brand Alltel operations in the retained markets in phases, beginning in Q2 2009 and continuing through Q3 2009, as billing conversions are completed throughout the country. During the transition period, Alltel-branded stores will remain open to serve customers… Full release is available from here.]]> http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=75388 Verizon Heavy Fluid> Verizon - Alltel merger information - read this!! http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=75387 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:04:33 GMT

Here is a simple guide to get your phone and your headset connected.

What you need:

Bluetooth capable phone
Bluetooth headset (fully charged)
A few minutes

Make sure that your phones Bluetooth is on, and is in discoverable mode. (Not sure how to do that? Read the owners manual that came with your phone.) Make sure that your headset is turned off. Press and hold the power button on the headset for several seconds, until it starts flashing. It is now in pair mode. Some phones will automatically find the headset, some will not. If yours doesn't, simply search for new devices. It will find your headset. It will ask you for a code. The default code is usually 0000. Enter that into the phone. It will finish pairing, and then you can connect. You are all done. Enjoy being handsfree!!!

FAQ

Q. What is Bluetooth?

A. Bluetooth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Q. I want to listen to music using my headset and my phone, how?

A. You need two things. A phone with the A2DP Bluetooth profile enabled, and Bluetooth headphones, not a headset. Most, if not all headsets, will not play music through Bluetooth.

Q. I got my phone and my headset paired. When the phone rings, I don't hear my ringtone, just a regular annoying ring.

A. Your phone does not have the A2DP profile, and that is why you are hearing a generic ringtone, and not your own.

Q. I have a Motorola headset, and a Samsung phone, will they work together?

A. Yes. Bluetooth is not brand dependent. You don't need to have a Motorola phone to use a Motorola headset. Almost all brands are compatible when it comes to phones and headsets. You may run into issues getting connected to a car, as not all brands of phones seem to work in all cars equipped with Bluetooth.

Q. What else can I pair up with using Bluetooth?

A. Well, you can pair with other Bluetooth equipped phones, cars, computers, printers, pretty much anything that has Bluetooth. Can you transfer files back and forth? Depends on your carrier, and how much they have locked down with Bluetooth. Some providers do not cripple it at all, and some cripple it heavily.

Q. Some states have made it illegal to talk on a cellphone while driving, what about using a Bluetooth or wired headset?

A. It should be 100% legal to use a headset of some sort. Remember to always be careful and make driving your #1 priority, not talking on the phone if you are behind the wheel.]]> http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=42916 General Mobile Discussion Heavy Fluid> Your guide to buying and selling http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=42371 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:32:48 GMT
Sellers:

When selling your phone, try to list as much information as possible. Phone model, provider if it is locked to one, condition, accessories, box, usage, price, location, shipping preference, payment method accepted. Include pictures if possible.

Example of a bad listing:

Blackberry for sale. email iloveblackberry@blackberry.com

Example of a good listing:

Blackberry Pearl for sale. Blackberry Pearl in near mint condition. Used for about 3 months. Locked to T-Mobile. Includes all accessories including box. Asking $280.00 + shipping. Will ship internationally for extra, ask me about it. I am located in Los Angeles, CA. Contact me at iloveblackberry@blackberry.com and I only accept Paypal. Here are some pics:

Buyers:

So you want to buy a new phone? Make sure you are buying the right phone for your service. If you have a GSM provider, make sure that the phone is either unlocked, or locked to your current provider. Make sure that it has the proper bands, like 850 if you are on AT&T. GSM dual band phones that only have the 900/1800 bands WILL NOT work in North America. Be sure to double check the compatibility of the phone on sites like GSMArena.com - GSM reviews, opinions, votes, manuals, ringtones and more... which provides the proper information regarding what bands each GSM phone has.

If you have a CDMA provider (Sprint, Verizon, Altell, MetroPCS, etc) make sure that the phone will work with your provider. Sprint will only activate Sprint branded phones onto their network as of now. Some of the other providers may be able to flash the phone so that it works with their network. Not sure? Double check with your provider before buying, to save yourself some money and heartache. Be sure to ask any seller for the ESN number beforehand so that you can confirm its status with your provider before purchasing. You do not want to end up with a blacklisted ESN phone. It will be a paperweight for you, and that is about it.

If you have questions, or are not sure about something, do some research. Google can be your best friend when looking for information. This forum can also be a big help. Use the search function to find helpful posts. Be sure to use good judgment. Remember, anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is too good to be true. Very few things in life are free, or are massively discounted.

LG CU720 Shine - Full phone specifications - Carried by AT&T, this is a quad band phone.

LG KE970 Shine - Full phone specifications - Unsure if it is carried by any provider, foreign or in the US. This is a tri-band phone.

LG KU970 Shine - Full phone specifications - Unsure if it is carried by any provider, foreign or in the US. This is a tri-band phone.

LG KE770 Shine - Full phone specifications - Unsure if it is carried by any provider, foreign or in the US. This is a tri-band phone, it is also a candybar style, it is a non slider.

These are all GSM phones, meaning that they will not work in the US with Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular, MetroPCS, Cricket, Nextel, Boost or any other CDMA provider. They will work with T-Mobile, AT&T, Centennial or any other GSM network. If you are on AT&T, you will want the CU720, as it has the 850 band. The others will work, but your reception and/or call clarity may be affected. AT&T uses the 850 band in some areas, so if you use a phone without that band, you may have no reception at all.

I will leave this thread open if anyone has anything to add to it. If anyone knows that a specific LG Shine phone is offered by a carrier, please post it, and I will add it to the list.]]> http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=33890 LG Heavy Fluid> AT&T or Cingular?

Will it work on Sprint, Alltel, Verizon, Nextel, etc? NO. The iPhone is a GSM phone, and these providers are CDMA/IDEN. They are not compatible providers, therefore the phone will not work. There is no hack to make it work. There is no program to make it work. It will not work. There would need to be a CDMA version released to make it work.]]> http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=24564 Apple Heavy Fluid> Posting - a guide for you http://forums.intomobile.com/showthread.php?t=21177 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:03:34 GMT
Title - Be as specific as you can in your title. Don't just put help as the title. If it is a hardware problem, put that in the title, etc.

Information - Give as much information as you can if you are having a problem, like the phone model, headset model, wireless provider, program, etc. sometimes your location helps also. The more information we have, the better of an answer you can get.

Giving help - If you know the answer, please post. If you don't, and have nothing helpful or constructive to post, please don't answer the question. If someone asks about getting a new Verizon phone, don't suggest the iPhone, even when the poster says that they don't want the iPhone.

We would like IntoMobile to become a great wireless forum, with a great community and wealth of knowledge from our members. If you get some help, feel free to give the person who helped you a little reputation. Points are always nice, and appreciated.
