So, TMobile decided to drop my familys account, as my sister was roaming constantly in wyoming, so we picked up verizon, who has a tower in Laramie. One of the three phones i was offered was the Glyde, a touch screen phone that slides into a key board. All was well for about 3 months with it, until it started being funky, you couldnt touch buttons on the screen, you couldnt type a message without the cursor moving around the screen, and blank spots would commonly occur when typing messages. So i go to verizon, explain, and they update my phone, i was on software #5, The current phones were on numer 25. they update it, i get in the car, and its just as bad, i go back in, and they give me a brand new glyde. TAke it home, same problems. Come back two days later, i get another new glyde. SAME PROBLEMS. Except this one was already four updates behind, it was on #25, and the updates were on 29, IN TWO DAYS! So today i am going over there and asking for a new Phone, blackberry, something without a touch screen.

Anyone else have any stories like this?

3 phones broken in under a week...Crazy!

I'm curious as to what you mean by T-Mobile decided to drop your family's account? They don't just drop accounts...

Also, your sister knows that T-Mobile doesn't charge anything extra for roaming right? It's essentially no different than using a T-Mobile tower. As for your phone problems, it's unfortunate, but it happens. I don't have much experience with Verizon, but hopefully they will work out a deal with you although I doubt they'll be replacing it with a different phone (unless you purchase it) although it's possible. The thing is that Verizon simply has no way of knowing if the phone software is faulty or if it's user abuse that is causing the problems and they are not likely to just keep replacing/fixing phones for free. I used to work for T-Mobile and you'd be amazed at some of the stuff I've heard from people. Working as a sales rep for a cellular company is something that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Those who have never worked there simply have no idea. In the end it's the honest customers that get the raw end of the deal because they may honestly have something wrong with their phone, but there's only so much the company will do in those situations to fix the problem before they just make you buy another phone when 99% of the customers that have phone problems is because of them dropping it, getting it wet, etc.

I had the original Chocolate (VX8500 I believe) and had a lot of problems with it. I asked them if I could get something different after replacing it for the 3rd time. They told me that if the 4th phone blows up....then I can switch. Never made it to that point though.

Yep - I took my good friend in three times in one month for replacement Verizon phones.

Just got the word today, she'll be getting her 4th phone since she got these things around the start of the year.

ive broken 4 phones in the last 2 yrs (all verizon).. so they recommended i get the casio g'z one phone. (the waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof phone)

well im happy to say it really is waterproof and shockproof.. i submerged it in a sink full of water... no issues.. and i teed it up and whacked it with a 9 iron at 3/4 swing.. it sailed 40 yards before hitting the fence.. picked it up, put the battery back in, and it came on and worked like it was new...

tough little phone.. i should try my driver on it next...

T Mobile sent my family a letter saying that Laramie Wyo is not in their coverage area, so they would no longer be willing to keep our account. I do recall them using the word roaming a few times..

That's weird. At any rate, they probably did tell you that you would be roaming. If they for whatever reason decided to close a tower or two in the area then they likely picked up roaming agreements with AT&T; or some other carrier to use their towers. Like I said though, you shouldn't be afraid of the word "roaming." When I worked there that word was enough to strike a lot of fear in the customers but it really means nothing. T-Mobile doesn't charge to roam and it basically just means that you'll be using another carrier's tower in that area, so instead of your phone saying "t-mobile" your phone will say "ATT" or whatever on the screen. You're not charged any differently.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
