Very Happy

By: Donna A. on Tuesday, June 17, 2008
From: Pennsylvania, PA (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Electronic billing/payments are very easy to use. My phone bill has dropped dramatically since getting PowerNet Global. There is no false advertising.

Cons: I wish I could get an unlimited long distance plan for the rural area I live in.

Summary: I would highly recommend PowerNet Global to anybody who is looking to reduce their phone bill. In this day and age with everything else going up, it was nice to actually see something go down!

From: Post Falls, ID (United States)
Experience: 43 Days
Pros: Signed up you attached and billed just like you said and it is easy to pay online.

Cons: There are none

Summary: I am very pleased with your online service and billing. I am also pleased with the quoted price and charges match. I have not heard of your company until the search Google led me to you, I think you should advertise more.

Very poor customer service

Overall Rating:
2 out of 5
By: Val Schmiedeskamp on Monday, March 03, 2008
From: Lincoln, NE (United States)
Experience: 4 Years
Pros: None

Cons: Confrontational phone reps. It took three months to close my mothers account after her death. A death cert. was necessary and the estate is out three months charges. Why would the account not be closed upon verbal notification?

Summary: Uncaring and confrontational company.

New phone plan

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: barbara moore on Tuesday, February 26, 2008
From: haymarket, VA (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Has saved me money and not changed the quality of my service at all

Cons: none so far

Summary: When I needed to call customer service due to my old company MCI, still getting some of my calls, your rep was probably the most helpful of anyone I have ever spoken to. She stayed on the line, while we called MCI to ask "what were they doing". Excellent service!!

    Seriously?  Riots?: NYers line up, wait, and get angry over BlackBerry Storm

    Storm Riots in NYC

    What ever happened to try before you buy?  Hordes of CrackBerry addicts in New York City braved sub-freezing temperatures to line up before 6am this morning at Verizon stores in hopes of landing a BlackBerry Storm.  Lots of 'em apparently went home (or to the office) cold and angry, as VZW didn't have enough stock to meet the demand. So much for reading reviews and carefully considering new purchases in this time of economic...

    News: VZW staffers get caught peeking at Obamas cell account

    Obama's cell account breached

    Imagine my surprise when, right after I blog about Barack Obama having to give up his BlackBerry, Verizon Wireless admitted that its own employees illicitly accessed a cell phone account of the now president-elect.Here's the statement that was issued by VZW's President and CEO Lowell McAdam: “This week we learned that a number of Verizon Wireless employees have, without authorization, accessed and viewed President-Elect Barack Obama’s personal...

    The long-awaited, much-anticipated over-the-air podcast downloads are now available via the latest 2.2 firmware update for iPhone!I suffer from over-stimulation in New York City, and podcasts are my major meds.

    Drooling From Afar: The LG Prada II

    The LG Prada II

    You know it. Some of you have even smacked your lips over it. But alas, there's still no word on the LG Prada II launching in the States, even as this follow-up to the first LG Prada phone debuted in Europe yesterday. Is it fair? Heck no. This thing has a 3-inch capacitive multitouch screen with active Flash UI and a slide-out physical QWERTY keyboard packaged in an elegant yet simple design aesthetic.

    Southeast Asia: is mobile web use surpassing wired access?

    SE Asia: mobile vs. wired web

    The Norwegian creators of the Opera browsers said today that mobile Internet use seems to be surpassing wired access in much of Southeast Asia. And that in some areas, it's the standard means of access, rather than the alternative. You can check out their monthly State of the Mobile Web report here. The geographic snapshot from October happens to focus on Southeast Asia; something I didn't know about when I wrote a piece on the market...

    Mini-Review: Motorola Rapture (VU30) - Verizon

    Mini-Review: Motorola Rapture

    Pros: quick and easy picture taking, video capture, plays music without opening the flip, stereo bluetooth, useful external touch screen, sleek design, nice materials.  Cons: price, no music in the background. The Rapture has those grooved metal buttons that can be found on the Motozine. There are two contextual buttons, but none of the fancy LED color changes of the ZN5. The Rapture's rubberized back, shiny little screens,...

    Storm: Verdict? Disappointing

    I really, really want to like Verizon's new BlackBerry Storm.  I want to love it.  Why?  Well, competition is good, and in the year and a half since the original iPhone launched, no other phone has been able to match the performance of its touchscreen or Web browser.  HTC's Touch Pro and G1, and Samsung's Epix and Eternity have impressed me as of late, but none of these devices offers the fingers-on touchscreen experience of...

    Cell Phones & Dating: The Dos & Donts

    Cell phones & dating

    When I got hitched last year, I was happy to put my history of bad dates firmly behind me. But boy did I pay my dues. Once, during a particularly horrible rendezvous, I ran to the ladies' room and texted my friend."Help! Bad date. Need out :-(  Pls call in 10 min!!"After adding the extra exclamation point for emphasis, I went back to the table and waited to be rescued. Ten minutes never felt so long. My companion's misplaced cockiness,...
