Honestly, I use about 600mb of data per month and i'm afraid I won't be able to get away with it w/ the unlimited Media pkg. Could really care less with the voice , 1000 min per month is plently. |

PERSONALLY- IMO as someone not responsible for a bottom line I think that very simply every employee of the company should receive complimentary service plans with unlimited use. Charge for the phones (with discounts) but there service should be free. Clearly this would be fiscally irresponsible but it would be a way to give Cingular that extra 'Edge" :-) |

The point here is, that if its for "official use" you'd think they'd give out a few back door numbers to the variousdepts. The last good backdoor to CARE was disconnected here in CA, so no we're all doing IVR prompts like the next sucker. As far as what phone to expect...it all depends on your manager. Ive heard of people getting teh Razr...I myself got a crud-bucket v220....once again, this matters very little...because there WILL be contests and you CAN but your chip in anything you wish....including a GC83 data card and go run up some huge use..... the beauty of the COU is that you dont even pay taxes... the ERP's while nice are dangerous...watch out for who you give those to.... |

When you go to fill out your COU request, you can request a specific model phone, you don't have to do a v551. I picked a 6230. |

Once again, my big prize was a v220. Piece of doo-doo. Also, phone is shipped to your store... all I can say is stay on your manager and see that it gets approved, as it must be approved by the ARSM and someone else. Usually takes a couple weeks. Meanwhile you're free to drool over all the stock in your store....
