I can answer questions on cellular phones, the physical device, the network, contracts, billing, ordering, porting and what to look for when purchasing cell phones. I am located in the United States. I am an expert on BlackBerrys, Treos, HTC devices and iPhones as well as cellphones and aircards. I have over 15 years of experience in both the wireless and wireline world with the carriers. I have a lot of knowledge regarding the wireless providers - their services, prices and policies, both GSM (AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint/Nextel (iDEN)). I am very familiar with the individual devices and their specifications. I can also answer questions regarding BlackBerrys, iPhones and other PDAs, both Palm-based and Windows-based. I can troubleshoot most any problem someone is having with their cellular device or with the provider.

I can answer questions regarding the actual phones, contracts, what to look for when purchasing a wireless phone, and the ins and outs of all the carriers. I can easily answer basic questions as well as in depth questions. I can also direct you to the carrier that best suits your needs not theirs. I currently work in management for one of the major carriers. I want to try and bridge the gap between carriers and customers in regards to the lack of customer service that seems to be dragging the industry down.

2010-03-09 bcc texts:

I'm afraid that there is not a way to put a BCC onto a text message (with any phone or any carrier). The only way to tell who she is texting (but not the content) is to view the numbers that were texted

2010-03-08 what do i do:

It means that the SIM card that you have in the phone cannot be recognized, i.e., the phone is SIM locked to a carrier other than the one that you have service with. Did you buy a phone on line and try

2010-03-08 BB STORM 2 WI FI issue:

I do believe that the problem relates to the firmware. I understand that it is SIM unlocked, and that makes sense, but it still has Verizon firmware on it and Verizon's firmware has disabled this feature
