I love allet

its better than being stuck under a contract

Andrew:Where can I see if the data feature is on?If its under"options" then under "mobile network":it's showing it as "on".I haven't been charged(I check my balance and minutes twice a day) and Its been on ever since I activated the BB.I don't see the phone say 1xev in lowercase or 1XEV that way anywhere.I assume you you mean I should see this on the front screen;what is there,is 1x(just as I typed it).I'm not seeing EVDO in any way either.I downloaded opera mini and it doesn't connect.I'm hoping it downloaded correctly;I assume it did,because opera mini will start to install when I click on it.Then it shows me:The application opera mini has attempted to access a low-level network connection.Would you like to allow this?It wants me to choose a yes or no.Either way I answer(I've done both),it asks me if I want to allow Opera mini to access server4.operamini.com.And again,either way I answer(I've done both),I get an error that says:Failed to connect to the internet:Go to http//www.operamini.com/help?version=4.2 with your desktop browser or contact your service provider for internet settings.What do I need to do?Do I need to download those service books?If so,as John recently asked,how?Thanks again for all your help.You've been a blessing,I hope you're ok or still with us here,haven't heard from you this week at all.I hope verizon didn't screw somthing up with your internet connection!
A few days ago,my other phone,an alltel,not my verizon BB,got switched to roaming.Now it's always on roaming.They're telling me that I'm not getting charged for it being on roaming,and that's true as far as it just being on roaming,however,I made a call i thought would be free,it was a 428(I assume alltel) phone number,I saw my bonus minitues plummit!I'm fightin' with verizon about that!One verizon rep insisted that I only get charged monetarily,not minutes.It seems some reps don't know how alltel prepaid worked compared to verizon prepaid.Verizon and I are not thru yet.Oh,and she also insisted that I didn't get charged for the call.I think she only looked at my monetary balance not subtracting.It seems she had no clue about my bonus minutes in any way!I'm dreading this take-over by verizon!

The phone that I got does not work half the time and you all need more then expensive phones and ones that people can aford.

Andrew

Where can I download the generic service books? How doI add them to my phone using the BB desktop manager? When you say the data usage is free for the BB brower and messenger you mean on nights and weekends right? Oh and thanks for the instructions from before.

Monique sorry to hear it didnt work for you still. I dont know what could be wrong unless that was a 'bad' phone. as i told you guys in other reviews, my verizon usb modem works on my prepaid account. when verizon took us over, i was still using my alltel blackberry. the next day everything data capable on my blackberry was disabled. i was only able to make calls and texts. knowing that my verizon usb modem works with my prepaid account, i knew any other verizon phone would also. Calcio cleared up that his blackberry now works too, but as he said his web browser doesnt. I mentioned he needs to load the generic blackberry service books for it to work again OR just get opera mini, a good smartphone web browser.

Dont be fooled- none of this is "hacked" software. and if we wanna say that it is, then your phone is "hacked", wheather t-mobile justifies it "ok" or not, because the blackberry storm wasnt MEANT for t-mobile in the first place. ..dont also forget that as a prepaid customer, YOU shouldnt have a blackberry in the first place (just clarifying stuff, no hard feelings).

I was going to get a verizon blackberry tour but seeing the blackberry storm2 just came out, I got that instead. this phone is cool!! but ya, the same as with the alltel blackberry and now my storm2, I entered the ESN hex. dialed *228 and it programed my phone the first time around. it DID delete the service books. but all I did was downloaded the generic service books and everything works just like with a contract! the blackberry browser, all the instant messengers, etc. and ALSO... the internet is FREE! its not charging me for data usage. I have no guilt because i even called verizon and the rep TOLD me that as a grandfathered alltel prepaid customer, data IS unlimited on my account. that explains why when with alltel, when our minutes ran out, web or internet would still be working. the generic service books made it possible to use that feature. why verizon would take it from us along with not allowing smartphone use, i have no idea. but as i said i called and asked and thats what i was told, so im using my features. $20 a month = unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited text and able to add unlimited mobile to mobile and unlimited favorite number, having a verizon usb modem AND a blackberry storm2! (can also be used as a modem for laptop)

as far as going to t-mobile, good luck. in my opinion, theyre worse than sprints coverage, and SPRINT is bad. i know verizon has its faults, but id rather have coverage. but as long as youre satisfied, cool. cause i am!! I hope i was able to help everyone in some way to benefit from the things i know and am able to do to get the best out of their prepaid service. see ya.

(p.s.- all a generic service book is, is an EXACT remake of the books that get taken away when you dial *228. all youre doing is putting them back on the phone..)

no need for hacked software. its opera mini.. a known company.

Calcio, hey thanks for the comment. They notified me that they were changing both, my account and my area. So I waited until I could access my account on My Verizon...when I tried it, it still didn't work for me.

I've already switched to T-mobile. They sent me a sim card and remotely programmed my phone (They were completely aware that it was a Verizon phone) for the internet on their service.

I'm paying practically the same amount and enjoy unlimited usage on my phone. So I'd definitely recommend the switch. And you can still use your Blackberry without having to download hacked software that could damage it.

T-mobile has an entire department dedicated to their customers that want to use third party phones. LOL I'm starting to sound like a spokesperson for them!

I'm glad it all worked out for you though...have a good one.

Calcio, see? i knew itd work. it was just that you guys were trying to do a verizon phone while still on alltel. thats why i was saying only do alltel phones. but now that were verizon, i has to be verizon. you can still do alltel phones though, smartphones wont work data wise. the reason why your web browser wont work is because when you do *228 with a blackberry, verizon takes away those service books required to make the web browser and other data capable features to work. to get them to work though, youd have to download generic blackberry service books back on to the phone. do you see the phone say 1xev in lowercase or 1XEV? theres a work around way to get the web back up but id need to know if youre recieving EVDO in capital letters. also, make sure the data feature is on (only during unlimited nights and weekends so you dont get charged). let me know

An additional comment for Monique:Verizon may have switched your area,but not your account yet.I'm saying this because,verizon notified me about my area being switched,I think by mail.Awhile later,I can't remember the length of time,verizon notified me that 1 of my prepaid accounts would be switched over.They have'nt emailed me yet about my other prepaid account being switched over.They may not since both accounts have the same email address.Verizon notified which account would be switched by displaying the last 4 digits in the phone number in the email they sent me.Again,I hope this helps you.God Bless

Hi Monique,I dialed *228 the day after they told me my prepaid account would be switched over to verizon.Verizon notified me when I would be switched over by sending me an email.The blackberry activated on the first try.Everything works like the phone it replaced.The web browser on the phone won't connect though.I just want to make sure that you were notified exactly when your prepaid account would be switched over.I guess I'm hoping for you that you really weren't switched over yet and you thought you were.Did verizon email you telling you the date you would be switched over?I know you said you're going with T-mobile.I may have to do that because of the web for the phone.I'm just hoping this reply will help you.God Bless.

Calcio, yeah I thought that too, but even after they switched my area, it still didn't work.

They had a Verizon plan that was similar to what I already use and it included data for a couple of bucks less than what I pay for alltel, but the wanted a $400 deposit..even though I opted for month to month service and was NOT buying a phone from them. Since the switch...they really suck now.

I just got off the phone with T-mobile and they are letting me use my new blackberry with unlimited talk, text and data for 79.99 a month.

That's about $10 more than what I was paying with my alltel plan not including the internet (since the switch, internet stopped working on my phone and they want me to pay monthly to add it back..no thanks)

T-mobile charged no activation fee and I'm not under any contract. So I'm happily switching over. Verizon buying Alltel pretty much sucks as bad as when AT&T bought Cingular...

Hope things work out better for you.

Monique and Andrew,I just received an email last Tuesday from verizon that one of my prepaid alltel accounts will be transitioned to verizon this Thursday. So,Monique,maybe we just need to be patient as Andrew was advising us to do about activating our verizon blackberrys or probably any verizon phone. I have not received a notification concerning my other alltel prepaid account which I setup a month after my first prepaid account. Monique,I guess we just have to wait and see.

Excellent service. Let's hope that Verizon does not mess it up( it will) . Great coverage, better than most prepaid providers. Much cheaper than ATT or Verizon. I did not notice anything about 4$/month charge for non use, and i did not use the phone for a few months. Alltel pay by minute was such an excellent deal, that a lot of people in our are which did not have direct Alltel coverage got the prepaid phones for rural travel where other carriers ( like my T-mobile ) did not have sufficient coverage.

Chevelle: go to operamini.com and download it from there. blackberry wont have it on their site because they want you to use blackberry browser. opera mini is a web browser of its own.

mike: you need to set up a prepaid profile to have those options. since verizon took us over, need to go to verizon website and set it up there.

whats the web site to go on if u want to change your pre paid phone

John you can set it up online in your verizon profile.

go to my services, change your prepaid phone, and enter the ESN hex number. have your old phone off, wait 5 mins then dial *228 from the blackberry. press 1 and itll program the blackberry. turn off. turn back on and you should be using a blackberry.

ESN hex: in blackberry go to options, status, and there you find the ESN (hex). its 8 characters long mixed with letters and numbers.

ADREW

How did you go about setting up your blackberry to your prepaid account? I just bought an Alltel Blackberry Curve 8330 I want to try out on my prepaid.

I love Alltel because of thier service, qualtiy, Custumer Care. But after alltel was bought buy #$%^%#$ Verizon evreything went to hell! if you buy a phone make sure its with alltel not with Damn verizon!

Was ok at first, not even a month after having it cuts out a lot. Having a lot of problems making calls and sending texts, comes up with "call failed" or "text unable to send" Not what I expected. Also hate how you have to go on the internet to see pictures that are sent to you.

AHA! I just had to call customer service...I was mysteriously running out of minutes after adding to my balance yesterday. It was explained to me that the $5.99 fee simply grants access to the web. Any kind of airtime that you use will be $.10 a minute for the airtime. Oops! I did not understand that at first. So I have been using facebook, downloading e-mails etc. and sucking my account dry. Now I totally understand what you (Andrew) meant by using unlimited nights and weekends. The rep told me that Unlim N&W was the workaround for these charges. Live and learn. Ya, only going to use internet on N&W, therefore I won't even worry about the $5.99 monthly fee. Even better.

Andrew: Did you download Opera from a BB software site?

Chevelle glad you can enjoy what theyve been hiding from us for no good reason. I see it as, if a prepaid person really WANTS a balckberry or smartphone, why wouldnt they just allow us to have it? If we wanna spend $600 on a phone, they still profit (except... i bought mine for $60 brand new lol). but, they made us have to go another route. and in the end, we still win!

as you mentioned about the browser in the phone, ya, that wont work. even when we were still alltel, my blackberry web browser didnt work either. but I downloaded opera mini web browser and it worked, so try that, though, I doubt itll still work because when verizon took us over, all data capable features got turned off. but opera mini was free, you didnt have to pay the $1.99 or $5.99 subscription. on your blackberry, it wont ask you if you wanna renew the $5.99/month because blackberry wasnt geared for prepaid so youd either have to call or go on your prepaid profile or reactivate your old phone, select it, then reactivate the blackberry.

tip: if you have unlimited nights and weekends, internet is FREE reguardless if you pay the $1.99/$5.99 or not. (I DONT pay for whats free!.. im using it now)

Andrew, THANK YOU for all of your help. I found this forum, purchased a BB Pearl on E-bay for $30 dollars, switched it over to my Alltel prepaid account and viola! My only downside is that the browser on the phone is not validated to work, so I cannot use the internet. But I can use applications that access the internet like Facebook and Tiggit for POP e-mail. I'm a little concerned that when my $5.99/month for internet is up that I won't be able to renew it. On my Alltel prepaid phone, when I opened my browser it asked...not sure how it will work on my BB.

Love the info. Keep it coming.

Calcio thanks. i will continue to look into stuff. i dont know if you saw or not, but i mentioned that my verizon usb modem IS working on my prepaid number. weird thing is it wasnt working when i first activated it when we were still alltel. now it does. reason why i was saying for you guys to wait untill verizon took us over to do a verizon phone. but, i do see the problem. as you said, its not just you, Monique is having problems with hers too. i think some fault is still due to the transition. some is also due to us being prepaid and some is blackberries. even contract people from alltel were told that their blackberry would not work anymore and i can testify (having an alltel blackberry on prepaid). it would still make calls and texts but everything data capable is OFF. my verizon usb modem is working on my number i think because before verizon took us, i activated it on my alltel account. it didnt work then because we wernt verizon but since they took us, its kinda like they had to make it work because i already flashed it with my number from alltel. I think it can still be done but ill have to get a verizon blackberry now. because if the usb is working and its from verizon, why shouldnt anything else verizon work? one rep told me that verizon phones will work for us, but that we wouldnt have the data capable features. ..yet did she know im using a verizon usb modem

Andrew,much appreciation to you for your efforts on helping those of us on prepaid who have blackberrys.Thanks for your patience with our questions.

Monique,I too share with your frustration.I too am trying to activate my verizon blacberry curve and I also am getting the same response when i dialed *228.I even tried to dial *22898,I think that's because I saw it on the verizon website,but I'm not sure.Well,I got the same response as you did.Andrew and Monique,please stay on this forum because we probably all can help each other concerning this and maybe are helping others.Thank you both.However,if either of you want to,you can email me at Liberoforza@yahoo.com.I just need help on this.I'm really trying to refrain from paying close to 90 bucks a month to use my blackberry.Thanks again, Calcio

ANDREW, Yeah I'm still here. If you want you can also reach me at sanchmon84@yahoo.com

Thanks for all your help

Monique i know what youre talking about. let me know if youre still on here so i can tell you.

I bought an Alltel phone 2 days ago but it turns out they stopped signing new costumers in Arizona I tried calling the stores but they couldnt help me so now Im stuck with this phone and no service. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it but it doesnt look good. Congrats to those who were grandfathered into Verizon with an Alltel plan I envy you.

Hi all, I hope I can get some updated feedback here... I just purchased an alltel phone yesterday. I absolutly love the phone its an alltel phone with camera, its pink and really cute BUT, I AM STARTING TO GET WORRIED...thought i got a great deal and so far the phone is working fine except I cant get on the internet browser. The cost was 39.95 plus tax like 42.00 per month. For unlimited nationwide phone service and unlimited texting. suppose to get 20 i think it was megabytes or whatever of internet per month.... EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT EXCEPT THE INTERNET WONT CONNECT AND WHEN I DIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE IT SAYS ALL CIRCUITS ARE BUSY OVER AND OVER AND OVER....... I DONT EVEN KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE EVEN THERE.... I paid 135.00 for the phone which included my 1 st month free SO I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A GREAT DEAL BUT NOW IM GETTING WORRIED I MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE..... I CANT GET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CANT GET INTERNET TO WORK..... DOES NE ONE ELST HAVE THIS NEW PLAN OR ANY RECENT NEWS ABOUT ALLTEL SO I KNOW IF I SHOULD TRY TO RETURN IT AND GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY SINCE ITS ONLY BEEN A DAY I WOULD THINK I COULD RETURN, PLEASE ANYONE LET ME KNOW UR COMMENTS.... THNKS, DEBBIE

when i try to text someone from my lg phone from alltell it says send failed so what is wrong with my phone and what should i do?

ANDREW, yes I put in the ESN Hex online, it tells me to dial *228 to activate the new phone, but when I do it calls Verizon customer service. I've tried different forms of *228 as well...i.e *2800, *22801. There is a manual way to do it by punching a few codes in your phone, I know because they did it for me on my old phone. I just didn't write down any of the codes

Nick you dont have to have the alltel phone with you to transfer it. all you need is the new phones ESN hex number and your phone number. you can go in the store if you want or you can do it online from your prepaid account profile if you have one. you should sign up for one if you dont. beats calling customer service for stuff you can do on your own- add/take away features, etc..

Monique did you put in the ESN hex?

Well Andrew I have another question if I were to do this i don't have the alltel phone to transfer it from it to the verizon one but I still have the number and info. would I have to go to verizon for them 2 switch it?!?!

ANDREW, I've got the phone and it is unlocked, but when I tried to activate it, I couldn't get it to go through. Every time I dialed *228, it says they are unable to activate my phone at this time. I tried Alltel customer service to get them to do it, but they just gave me a bunch of pointless arguing and said they would have to put me on a contract plan. I already know that's B.S...any idea on how to activate it the long way?

..im gonna run a few tests and let everyone know the outcome. that message that i previously wrote was word of mouth from calling a verizon customer service rep. but yet im able to STILL connect to the internet using my verizon usb stick on my (grandfathered) alltel prepaid account. which means if its working, verizon is lieing to us just so we wouldnt have the knowledge to use their products on our UNLIMITED alltel prepaid plans. word of advice: 1.never trust customer service reps and 2.take full advantage of your unlimited features!!

for those that didnt like alltel prepaid they musta been nuts. alltel gave us unlimited features to use and abuse and now that were on verizon were able to do stuff their prepaid customers can NEVER do less they fess up some $$$!

ey Chad sup. you can use your verizon LG VX8300 on your alltel prepaid plan BUT.. itll only allow you to make calls and texts. anything data dependent WONT work (web, pic and vid messaging, etc) because verizon wants us to suffer unless we update to their highly expensive prepaid plans. id suggest to you though to get an alltel prepaid phone like the LG touch screen if you still wanna have the power of keeping your alltel plan PLUS using your data features. because even though i said before that alltel blackberries would work, now that verizon took us over, they interfered with the data settings and now too, even though it IS an alltel smartphone, itll only allow regular calls and texts. so i switched back to my alltel prepaid phone and again im able to log on to the internet with my laptop for free.

same message applies to you, Nick

Hi, I have a alltel prepaid service and recently purchased a verizon LG chocolate & I want to know would my service be able to work on the verizon phone since alltel, & verizon are now joined???

Hey Andrew,

I have an older verizon LG VX8300 and it is my favorite cell...an absolutle workhorse...my question for you is can i make it my prepaid phone aswell? i am currently using the little purple LG thingy that i had to buy in order to activate the service and would like my other instead...any ideas? Thanks

Hey Monique,

by it being an unlocked phone, it should work. if it doesnt work, hold out untill verizon takes you over, because its a verizon storm anyway, correct? they notified me today by email that tomorrow they switch me to verizon. luckily were grandfathered and dont have to pay crazy $3.99+ a day for our same features now. so ya, all you have to do is put in the ESN hex and youre good to go. you mentioned a SIM. the SIM only allows the phone to work in other countries so pay no attention to that.

ANDREW, correction on my last review. I purchased a Blackberry Storm. My question is can that be used on the prepaid service I have now with alltel?

I've had the Alltel prepaid for about a year now and I've never had any issues other than the phones suck. I pay about $75 a month for 700 min and unlimited text, which is perfect for me because most of my family and friends are on the verizon network (so m2m) and I text more than talk. I think its great.

My question is for Andrew..the unlock guy. I'm thinking of getting the Blackberry Tour unlocked and I wanted to know how I would go about setting it up with my alltel account. Can it still work if the phone has a sim card?

If you can't reach me on here, my email is sanchmon84@yahoo.com.
Thanks

Today verizon starts transfering us over from alltel little by little. glad i was able to help, Richie! here are a few tips for everyone:

-*228 (i reccomend everyone dial it atleast once a month. updates your phone for the better!)

-*780 (turns OFF your voicemail so that you wont get charged 10 cent when someone leaves a voicemail during the day)

-*78 (turns back ON your voice mail)

-manage connections, mobile network options, data services: OFF (ONLY for those of you who updated to a blackberry as i mentioned. you wanna keep data services OFF, atleast during the day because when the blackberry (or any smartphone) synchronizes with the network during the day, itll charge you!)

-opera mini (i reccomend any prepaid blackberry or smartphone user to get opera mini as your web browser in your phone even over your origional phones web browser! first: for me, because my blackberry on prepaid would not let me use the blackberry web browser in the phone, opera mini WILL work. you know how in your phone you HAVE to do the $1.99 a day or $5.99 a month thing to use the internet in your phone? well opera mini is FREE. and its a real internet like web browser for your phone. not the cheap browser like the phone came with. its really better! it will charge you during the day, of course. and you would need to have your data setting turned on. unlimited nights and weekends it is free.)

call me out if you need me. otherwise, see you guys on the other side (verizon.. when they transfer us)

Calcio: you do have an alltel prepaid account online right? cause its easier like that. if you call customer service they might give you problems knowing that youd want a blackberry on prepaid. correct about the ESN number. but youd wanna put in the ESN hex (has letters and numbers) not the other ESN. after you put it in you need to have your old phone off and dial *228 to have the blackberry activated. then youre good to go.

as far as it being a verizon blackberry... im not so sure on that one. because the networks still know that were alltel. my blackberry is an alltel phone. now.. it may still work but i never tried a verizon phone yet (in a way). but, even if it doesnt work, still hold on to it because when verizon gives us prepaid accounts on their site, it will also give us the option to change phones and because we will officially be verizon, it should work.

you may need to get the web pass to use the features in the phone. im not using my features (yet) but i will look into it. i just use mine for now for regular texting and calls and to link to my laptop for the internet (im using it now).
(p.s.- when you run out of minutes, internet is free!)

i did test my verizon usb card with my prepaid number but didnt have success. as i said i think its because the verizon network knows that im an alltel customer. so id have to use an alltel usb for it to work (untill after were 100% verizon). it did program and everything but it just wouldnt let me connect to the internet.

I'm not happy with alltel prepaid at alll.they charge too much!screw them

Andrew,I agree with you 100% about allltel's prepaid plan and service.I want to make sure I understand you correctly though when you said that a blackberry curve can be prepaid.So,all that's needed to be done to make a blackberry prepaid is to put in the blackberry's ESN/MEID number and follow their remaining steps?(you made this reply to Whitney's request)I recently bought a verizon blackberry curve from a good friend of mine.She was selling it because she didn't realize how expensive having the phone on her verizon 2 year plan would be.When I read what you said could be done for prepaid with the blackberry,I was relieved that it won't be that expensive for me to have,as it would be for if it was to be non prepaid.So,I would like to know this:It is a verizon blackberry curve,will it work on my alltel prepaid account?My third and last question:Do you need to buy alltels web pass(that's only $5.99/month)to get the full features of the blackberry?Many thanks for you sharing your encouraging discovery about this!!Please let us know about the alltel usb test also.

I have had a lot of different kinds of phones and i love the Alltel service.

I have been on the prepaid plan for three years now and I absolutely love it!! However, the only downfall is it costs you ten cents a minute outside of nine pm and if someone calls you before nine it takes money out of your account even though you didnt answer. I am absolutely satisfied with Alltel prepaid.

sorry to hear and see people have problems. but for me, i grabbed alltel by the horns, and showed them whos boss. heres something else i just did to benefit: as i said in my last review, since verizon bought out alltel, alltel unlocked the entire network, which means as prepaid customers, were able to get any phone we want. they wont tell you this but, i AM. so i got myself a blackberry curve. i only pay $20 a month for unlimited text and unlimited nights and weekends. i just paired my blackberry with my laptop through bluetooth and im connecting to the internet for FREE! im using the phone as a modem and its as fast as DSL. so again, im ONLY paying $20 a month and i have a blackberry curve to sport, and now FREE wireless internet for my laptop!! the last test i want to conduct is getting ahold of an alltel usb modem and putting it on my prepaid account so that i wont have to use the phone as a modem. those wireless internet plans usually cost $60 a month for 5GB (i know because i have it for verizon but it WILL be getting cut off TODAY) but im gonna get unlimited internet for $20 a month using my prepaid..

I have had Alltel in the past and currently in the process of changing carriers. Alltel not only does unauthorized debits to customers accounts they also overcharge the prepaid accounts. (Example - When there is a 10 cent charge Alltel will try to deduct up to $2.00 from your account) Trying to get anything corrected is nearly impossible with Alltel. |I currently have a unsettled complaint against Alltel witht he Better Business Bureau.

I was really happy with Alltel until recently. to begin with I was told that since the merger, alltel and verizon were m2m. Since some customers were being switched and some werent right now. Well, up until today, both my phones ( we had 2 alltel phones. mine and my daughters) well they converted mine over to a verizon prepaid ( even though the prepaid account page and phone both say alltel, I was ok as long as I could keep m2m with my daughter and vise versa. I found out that hers was still considered alltel) Well, today it started charging her for calling someone else that has an Alltel phone that has been switched over to a verizon number and was charged 25c per minute and all her bonus minutes were gone as well. I tried calling customer service about the issue and was hung up on multiple times. When I asked to speak to an English speaking supervisor, They hung up on me again. No resolution. at this point and I am very disapointed in the fact that we are basically being pushed around like ragdolls. I love the pay per day plan, BUT how are we supposed to know when we call or receive a call that someone that we used to have m2m with, we may not have anymore, and they are unwilling to help in anyway to correct this issue.
