Well I called them this yesterday and was told, they could mail me a cedit application and then when they got it back they would enable service. Now that is a real consumer oriented service -- credit cards you got to be kidding. By the way the normal Mobilccomm pager representatives never head of the Apple unit so if you think you can just swaps -- forget it. The reason I write on that is to show how disconnected the RBOCs seeem to be from the real consume market. It would be like Apple selling you a computer and telling you that it would work in two weeks!!!

It said call Bell South to subscribe so I went to call to see if I could get my PIn switched to the new ID. Guess wat. This contender in the NII arena is only open 9-5 Monday to Friday. Tough luck if you want to join the electronic world other times. When will they grow up!!!
