I really like this post, great response.^Yet there's ample time to complain about people complaining. That's comical! Talk about irony and contradiction. Kinda like when someone posts "no comment" in response to something.
Gotta love it when others feel the need to chime in and tell people what they should and should not take issue with. Again, comical. Here's to hoping your load lightens a bit and things are much less hectic for you.
I also wanted to throw this in, with the ability to send us free text messages at their leisure, this is VZW showing us how small we are.
I fully agree that we are indeed a driving force, and if we all yell together they will hear us. (sorry if it sounded like I was trying to be Mel Gibson in Brave Heart not my intention).07-13-09 05:23 PM - Have anyone called CS to ask about it?
I called today and the guy just told me that it was impossible for VZW to do such seem . I told him I wasn't the only one with the same thing, and he just went to talk about maybe doing a master reset, blah, blah blah.
I guess VZW doesn't know what their potential07-16-09 10:19 PM - You didn't speak with the right CS person. When you call and the automated attendant asks what you want, be sure to specify BLACKBERRY. That puts you to someone that should know something about a Blackberry. If the CS doesn't know what you're talking about, ask to be escalated to a supervisor or Level 2 support. Trust me, you push enough (in a calm way) and you can get things done. No, they won't modify your BIS profile to keep the VPLs from happening while you hold, but they'll log call after call about such complaints and eventually they will understand that we don't want the advertisement. BTW, they don't send VPLs to large corporate customers... just FYI.Have anyone called CS to ask about it?

On a serious note, you're not really comparing a txt message you received regarding monies owed for a service you're using to (essentially) what amounts to spam being delivered to the device to advertise the availability of an app that most people 1) already have or 2) probably aren't interested in, are you? Surely you see the difference here?
I'm getting more and more annoyed by Verizon's business practices. I'd wager that roughly 90% of all BB users are savy enough to know there are myriad applications out there for their devices and at least a handful of sites where they can get the apps they're interested in. This, to me, is almost like a VZW mentality that their smartphone users are ignorant and have no clue about their devices, available apps and how to download them.
I think the overall prevailing mentality concerning "pushed apps" or "advertisements" is people (most) don't want these and that we'll go out and download the applications we're actually interested in and want.07-17-09 10:33 AM
