Found this forum by accident looking for a tower picture. Looked at a thread that got me fired up and joined as a result.

I have been in the Business for almost 20years. Started out installing phones back when the transmitters weighed 25lb, they cost $1k for the bottom of the line model and half duplex hands free was a $250 option. I wrenched my back a few times dragging IMTS junk out of plenty of trunks.

I ended up running one of Cingular's repair shops for many years. I also use to work at Cingular's Level 3 Repair Depot at nights. I am a registered Level 2 Repair tech for Motorola, Nokia and OLD Audiovox. I am also registered as a consumer level tech for Ericsson, LG, Siemens.

I have been out of the Consumer end since Cingular closed the shops. So what I am rated on is gear over 2 years old, nothing current.

Did a year in sales and now work network end of things. Basically my Job now is getting all the broken tower gear off to repair and handling inventory on it. My job also covers helping in deployment. Get to wear shorts in the summer (no A/C in the 20k warehouse I work in) and not customer facing any more so it is a great job.

Wow, in another thread we were just congratulating Tom on his 5,000th post. I didn't realize he had also contributed to the membership so directly. Cool. Welcome all.

Finally made my way into the welcome thread

Stalking? No, more like ganging up on him -- when we heard he became a mod here we figured that's the best way to keep him sharp! (Just kidding, of course).

Welcome to all fellow gangsters... and other new members! And "hi" to the old-timers

hf1khal likes the Blackjack
Tom has been a good friend for a long time.
adgsteve always says nice things about me.
josephd is also a good friend, although he seems to have nothing but problems with any phone I recommend to him.
I agree with Athena on all the Cingular posts she has made so far.

So yes you guys are good cyberstalkers....

Thanks Charlyee, and I have since learned to buy the opposite that you recommend.

Not to rain on your parade, but it only takes one finger to count the number of people Steve doesn't say nice things about -- at least those that I know of Then again, I haven't found anybody who would say something not nice about you, so I'll let this slide

Thanks for the welcome! And I found a couple of more members of the gang -- hme83 and hiddendragon (at least I hope it's our hiddendragon).
