Any tips to trying to find my fone? Lost it out on a night ride with splat. Can't the cops GPS the thing or something to locate it?
I'm so bummed out. This is like my 3rd fone in 1.5 years.
Also, how does it work with Verizon if I need a new fone. I don't have the insurance as I had it once, my fone broke and I said gimme a new one and they said we'll send you one in two weeks. Well, I'm a very busy important man, and I can't be without my fone for even a day dammnit.
So if I remember right, if they advertise a fone for 100.00, that's only if you buy a service plan right? If you lose a fone you have to pay full price correct? They just don't seem to want to deal at all. Even if I threaten to cancel my contract and go to another service, they don't GAF. Any tips to
A. Finding my fone
B. Finnagling a new fone from Verizon without paying $300 or whatever they cost. I have, or had the popular LG flip fone, with all the colors and crap.

I'm goin back at noon to walk 9 miles to try and find the f'n thing.

YES, I AM AN IDIOT OF ALL IDIOTS.

Maybe it's in your garage slab #3.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I'd blame Splat and make him buy you a new one.

 

[MtnBikerChk]

is the phone on? go riding again and bring another phone - and call it. if you're convinced it's lost and want to get a new one, first go to verizon and tell them what happened and see what they offer you. they may surprise you and give you whatever the current phone deal is - but you'll have to renew your contract, probably for a year or 2.

if they give you a hard time, just give them one right back - I have faith that you can do it

know what your contract is before you even go there though - example: if you had a 1 year contract which began in May 2003 and therefore ended in May 2004 if you do nothing, they try to tell you that you automatically renewed it. then you ask them to show you where you signed a renewal. they won't be able to and you'll be able to get out of your contract.

 

[binary visions]

Maybe the phone just ran away, feeling slighted because you didn't care enough to spell its name properly...

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Call verizon have it turned off, go to verizon and you can get a new phone for free (one of their offers) or spend some $ on a new phone. You'll have to sign up on another contract to get the free or discounted phone. I've had verizon since the were GTE back in 1990, and I always included insurance too.

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Yeah I know, I purposely misspelled phone. I like fone better. As for MTBRCHK's idea, it's on vibrate of course being the F'N idiot I am.

Yeah, Babs, that's an awesome idea, it most certainly is Splats fault, or maybee I'll tell him and Gregg (SloMoJo) to split the costs. If it weren't for them two, I wouldn't have even been riding last night and wouldn't have lost my fone. BASTIDS :mumble:

Well, I got a lot of walkin to do today

I feel naked without my fone, lost and I'm no longer global.

ACTUALLY I'M SO ******* PISSED OFF, I feel like breaking something.

IDIOT.............3'rd fone in almost 2 years

Called Verizon. Of course since I haven't had it a year (year is in 1 month) I get slammed full price, and there is 1 year left on my service plan. I HATE VERZIZON. HATE HATE HATE HATE. They really know how to SKREW YA. Well, if I don't find my fone, I'm leaving the service on, an minimalizing my minutes to the minumum, so they will at least lose some money.

I think I'm gonna cry. DAMN FONES

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Doesn't work like that man. YOu get the discount only if you had it a year. Other than that, you pay full price. You can threaten to cancel it, then they make money on an early termination fee. They got ALL_ANGLES_COVERED_TO_SCREW_THE_CUSTOMER.

They simply wont deal and DGAF about customer service. They are just too big to care. Who cares about Knuckles $200 per month. James Earl Jones will still be eating prime rib, sippin martinis on a golf course reguardless of whether knuckles $200 a month comes in. THAT FAT BASTARD

:mumble:

I had the insurance once, it's not worth it. They make you wait 2 weeks for a new fone. Well that was the case about 2 years ago anyway in my area

But if you like your cel carrier it really doesn't matter if you sign up for another 2 years, you can always upgrade your plan without extendeing the length of the contract. After your contract is up you still have the same plan just won't be under contract any longer. Just make sure you save all contracts.

Just go in and upgrade your plan, it will include the new phone.

Yes, just as you warned, it's crumbling. I had a new driveway put in yesterday. They drove the steam roller into my garage and cracked the sh*t out of the floor. My wife and I have decided to sell the house. I've had it and I'm not kidding. Nobody will help. Builder, town. I don't have the money to sue. I will never build another house again. That builder is lucky I don't go down there with a ball peen hammer and crack his head open.

Go after the steam roller, just say you F'ed up my garage floor.

you are more familiar with this and I guess it's different per state but doesn't Knuck have to tell the buyer about all this stuff?

Yes indeed, he must disclose ALL known defects...

I agree - I was just telling him how he might be able to get out of his contract if he wanted to (if that was his situation).

Never buy from Verizon directly - go to a dealer. Knuck - try the wireless zone - call them and tell them you want a new phone and you want to upgrade your plan - I bet they can help you.

[s1ngletrack]

Wow - that's strange, I lost my phone yesterday on a ride during lunch. Snuck out of the office, went for a ride up Bergen Peak - hauled *ss back down to the parking lot only to find that I had left my pocket open when I pulled my glasses out at the top - fortunately my friend loaned me his phone (before he got in his car and left of course) So I ride halfway back up the mountain, calling my # about every 100 yards or so - and damned if some guy doesn't answer my phone. Anyhow, he tells me he found it on the trail and is headed down - as he is saying this, I can hear him in stereo - turns out he was right above me, riding down the trail talking on my phone - what luck. I understand how bad it sucks losing the cell - I felt naked for the hour that I was without the phone (hey - it's the only thing that allows me to sneak out for rides at lunch) - and it is a 2 month old samsung w/ video and all that work bought for me - thought I was up **** creek. Good luck finding yours.

 

[golgiaparatus]

I dont know if the can locate it or not... I would assume it has to be on. How do you lose your phone on a ride? Bounce out of your pack or something?

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Yes, bounced out of my cargo shorts. I had it in a pocket too that was velcroed shut as well. As for the house, I think we're going to sell. I'll tell whoever buys it, I'll knock off 10k for the cost of the garage floor. I've had it. I'm moving into a condo. :mumble:

 

[golgiaparatus]

THAT FAT BASTARD

Sorry about your phone dude, but the JEJ comment... LMAO!!!

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Laugh away dud, I can't stay mad forever, sometimes I just get so angry I start to get a natural high and then I just start uncontrollably laughing. Well, I'm off on my hike to find a fone yo.

So the dud that did the driveway comes over this morning expecting to get paid. NOT. He asked me to leave the garage doors open, he drove a steam roller in my garage on my nice new previously cracked new floor and cracked the hell out of it. I mean this guy destroyed my floor. Cracked like a spiderweb. Plus there is tar all over the floor, chunks imbedded into it. Now the front of the new slab is discintegrated and the A-hole has the balls to tell me that it was already like that? He said "so your not gonna pay me?"
I said - nope, not unless you fix the cracks in my floor
He got in his truck, slammed the door so hard I thought the window was gonna crack and sped off. He was so nice when I first met him.
Well it was somewhat cracked, but the point is that he made it worse. I know the guy probably drives on garage floors all day with steam rollers, and I don't know if he is supposed to to that, but the main point is that I had a new floor, it was nice and smooth and crap and he left tar all over the place. You should see this mess he left. It's not the cracking that really bugs me, and I will pay the guy, but he left suck a f'n mess. That's what really gets me. Nobody takes pride in their work. Nobody. I despise my job, but I do it 100% and don't leave stuff 1/2 asssed. I can't do it, caus I have a consious. Well, somewhat I can't fine one good subcontractor. NONE. So this guy makes my floor worse, leaves a mess, and expects to get paid. You guys think I should pay him?
Well, I probably will pay him, but I'm gonna sweat him first.

Hell, yeah, way to make him sweat... you should pay him, but insist that he come in and clean up his big ass mess. The question is, shuold you deduct for he cracks that his steamroller left behind?

 

[s1ngletrack]

I don't know - when I was building houses, it was understood that the gigantic forklift was not to be driven on driveways, etc... I can only imagine how much worse a steamroller might be. Why was he in your garage anyway?

No idea man. He asked me to leave the doors open, exposing world of bikes and parts to the thugs of Worcester. The hollowpoint was locked indoors though. The guy did an awesome job on the driveway but made a horrorshow out of the floor. It WAS a nice grey, smoothe, you could eat off it, besides the little cracks at the edge. I'll put up some pics of the horrorshow this weekend. Now it looks grey, brown, tar, mess. Yeah it's a garage floor, and I'm not worried about the colors and stains, but like I said (broken record) there is asphalt embedded in the concrete and pieces stuck all over the floor. He's been calling me all day, buggin me. Ima confront the ahole in the AM. He's a splitting image of that FAT A***OLE from the traveling dingleberries blues band. Steady diet of asphalt fumes and Wendys squareburgers

BREAKING NEWS. I did not have to call the authorities to issue an AMBER_ALERT for my fone. Some wonderful lady, early 40's or so, found my fone while walking her dog and called a few numbers in my fone book and I was alerted that it was discovered, given her number, and she revealed her whereabouts. I couldn't believe it. I dont' have to pay verizon another $250 for a fone. And in 1 month or so, I'll have made it a full year with 1 fone. IMAGINE THAT. One full year with the same fone. Hasn't happened in 3 years. So I met the woman and slid her a 20 spot for her help. She wouldn't take it, absolutely refused, so when she got in her car, I got back out of mine and tossed it in her passenger window and took off. I was so greatful. Jesus helped her find my fone. Jesus is gonna fix my garage too
Thanks for all the emotional support folks during a very trying day. I have never felt so naked in my life, about 15 hours without my fone yo.
