Do you know Demetry Vyzis? He and I went to Overlake School together and I think he mentioned that he knew you.
Hey Benjamin - nice to hear from you - haven't seen your name for a long time! Yes, Demetry is a good friend of mine - he is super. Last summer we drove our Porsche's down to the Portland Raceway together to watch a friend race in the Rosecup - we talk Porsche's in between business. He has a beautiful silver Carrerra 993 2S for sale right now. You should come to one of our 6 speed weekend events under this section so I can meet you in person sometime!

^^^AT&T employee

Oh No! Competition


Just kidding. I'm sure you'll do really well at T-Mo. My wife has been a loyal customer for years. I was too until the iPhone launched

I'm a T-Mobile customer & I have an iPhone :-) Why not have the best of both worlds?

^^^Will you remind me on Saturday to ask you about that? Aaron wants an i-phone too but I want to add him to my new T-Mobile employee plan (quite a huge savings - more than my coffee discount!). I think I am going to switch to the Blackberry Curve since I have to give Starbucks back my Blackjack when I leave.

Because I work for AT&T and I probably paid a lot less than you did.
Have to wait for the new 3G iPhone until Sept. though.

Greta,
You can buy unlocked iPhones, but there will not be full support for it. I'm not sure, but I don't know if all of the features work as well. Things like the visual voice mail feature. Again I've never had to work with an iPhone on another carrier, but I know the iPhone network really well......

No that's when the employee discounts will begin. I'm hoping they'll open it up to employee price plans as well. Right now you can get a regular phone (or blackberry) and an employee calling/data package for free for you and a family member. I'm hoping that they'll include the iPhone in that this time around.

^^^So you and I are competing! Actually A& & T is larger than T-Mobile, but watch out! What do you do for them?

I'm a Network Engineer on their Data Center Ops team. Any handsets that surf the web, or use data applications traverse one of our national data centers. Once it hits the data center, that's where I come in..........

^^ Hey that's a good point! Greta, I can tell you all about how to unlock the iPhone on Saturday. It takes all of 10 minutes to do.
