T-Mobile

I am trying to figure out if Edgeio.com is bringing any traffic. I am always on lookout for inexpensive forms of advertising. Edgeio sounds like a good idea, but the question is if there any users who will see all their listings. It seems most of the listings are for cars and real estate. I did my test postings with beach cruiser for sale. Let’s see if it will bring anyone to my site.

 Tag for beach cruiser on Edgeio.

Expect to book for exact hour, then wait 20 minutes and after several reminders to the staff at the front desk you will find out that there is no one available to give you massage. I was offered option to wait (probably another 40 minutes).

If you do not have time to waste I recommend to stay away from Just Massage.

eBay is a great place where to buy cheap cell phones. The problem is that many of these phones are imports from Malaysia or Indonesia, which will not work correctly on T-Mobile network.

I don’t think it applies to all types of phones. I had very good experience with Nokia bought in Malaysia and working perfectly in the U.S.A. On the other hand Motorola Pebble gave me a lot of problems.

- Phone didn’t recognize new voice message in the phone menu.
- Whenever I call my own voice mail I get instantly blank text message. Very annoying.
- Internet doesn’t work.

Is there an easy way to change the settings? I couldn’t find any easy solution. There is a Wireless Configuration Device, where you can pick your phone model and have text message sent to you. The text message will automatically configure your phone for T-mobile Internet. Unfortunately there is no Motorola Pebble option.

These guys will install shower door and when the door fall down they tell you that they don’t have any responsibility for it. Stay away from them. They think that 70 pound glass door will hold screwed to just two tiles.

Now I understand why they accept only checks and no credit cards. You will not get a chance to call credit card company and get the money back.

Here is my experience with insurance companies in California.

State Farm - couldn’t even find my driver record based on my driver license number. They cannot insure me and said go to competition.

Mercury thinks that it is illegal to have insured car in California while having Nevada drivers license. They don’t understand that people might have more than one home in different states and wanting to have  licensed and insured car in each home.

Geico - the cheapest and the easiest way to sign up. All done in minutes. No personal visits to agent are required. Great service. Totally friendly website and great phone support. No auto attendants. When you call you go straight to person who can help you. Very impressive.

Remember cell phone which looked like a suitcase?
