Verizon LTE Jetpack MiFi 4620L hotspot review. This has a great battery life. I have had clients who bought the older mifis and they say they are lucky if they can get an hour charge out of a fully charged one. This is worth testing to see how it stacks up in the real world.
[Northeast] FiOS Triple Play Install w/o Software? – Verizon Fiber Optics | DSLReports Forums. This is interesting fios triple play for mac. Apparently they will push you to install software but it is not required. The people who have it love it. I used to use AT&T DSL and they had lots of problems keeping it working. Does using Verizon make things pretty easy?
It is fun to have a high-speed connection isn’t it? What a wonderful experience I had when I went from a modem to a DSL connection. It was at work and they had just upgraded to a T-1, and what a pleasure it was to watch training videos.
Apple – Support – Service Answer Center. If you use the Apple iPhone battery replacement program it will cost $79 plus $6 for s/h, and $30 for a temp replacement while the other takes up to 3 days to fix. If it is a Verizon phone you also have the option of taking it in a Verizon store. Has anyone ever gone to the Apple store and what was the response?
Unfortunately this has been my experience as well. The corporate store in my neighborhood is always busy and the wait on average is a half hour. The last time I was there took 2 hours, and they didn’t solve the issue. I am just saving up to go to Verizon next month. I can’t wait.

I’ve had AT&T for several years once the iPhone 3GS was available. Unfortunately that phone was stolen, so I now have a Samsung Model: SGH-A107. Yes, this fine piece of Chinese hardware is AT&T cheapest $30 phone. I’d like to ask how people’s experience has been with it because mine has not gone so well.
I guess I shouldn’t have expected much. While I had the iPhone I had problems with dropped/missed/never received calls and tried out a Nokia. That also was poor reception so that didn’t help. Troubleshooting every few months has resulted in the SIM card being replaced multiple times, and lots of voodoo magic. For example, I was instructed each week by AT&T personnel to turn off the phone for 30 seconds to kick it off the network. Then when it is turned on the updates magically appear.
Except it doesn’t help. I have done that faithfully the past 2 months and the problems are just as bad as ever. Dropped/missing/never received calls. I have friends say that are calling me on IM and it going to voice mail, but my phone never lets me know they even called. Talk about effective screening. AT&T is the phone you want to get when you “don’t” want to be in touch.
So get this, today the corporate tech support suggests that perhaps 30 seconds every week isn’t enough. That it doesn’t “give the phone enough time to update”. She kindly suggests that leaving the phone off for 5 minutes is going to allow it to update. So I do that. I leave the phone off for 30 minutes. Update that!
Guess what happens? That’s right! I drop calls tonight less than 6 hours after doing all these updates. You know the Verizon offer is looking better all the time. Has anyone found a phone combination that works reliably with AT&T? Please let the rest of us know.
Will I be switching to Verizon? Of course. I don’t know why I was this patient with AT&T. I will never again switch companies just because of one product.
