to make a long story short, I have a v3c Motorola razr cell phone. I go to school five hours away from home and my cell phone was constantly in roaming down here. I went into the local store and they said that they did not have the software to upgrade my phone and that they would get back to me when they did. A couple weeks went by and nothing…
I tried the *226 (whatever the code is) and it didn’t work for an upgrade, I received an error message.
I then contacted customer service. The bottom line that is a manager sent me a phone which is considerably different than my original. I could tell the software on the new phone was not as good (at least I think, this is where you all come into play).
So, here are the specifications of the phones. Can someone compare and let me know if I got screwed over with a lesser phone? Differences? Newer or older dated phone? anything that you would want to know if you were in my “Did I get screwed over” position.
old phone (seems like the better one to me):
Tech 800/1900
cdma 1x-evdo
s/w version:GATW_03.16.10P
ERI: 100
BREW Ver: 3.1.2
I’m pretty sure that the SID number deals with security, so I’ll keep that once myself.
channel: I’m not sure this deals with security, but if not, and it helps to diagnose the phone… I’ll be happy to post
it is data ready and all that good stuff, great phone but always in roaming
new phone sent to me:
Tech 800/1900
cdma 1x-evdo
s/w version:GATW_01.0F.03
ERI: 4
BREW Ver: 3.1.2
of course the PRL is different. The phone is also data ready. However, the reception is much better on the old phone than the new phone… we’re talking four bars of difference…
I’m under the impression that the PRL can be changed…
I have the USB software as well as the program phone tools so that may be a solution to the problem of not being able to dial *226 (I think it is)
regardless, please let me know the differences, major or minor, anything else you want to throw in there… feel free!
thanks!!!
