It can be quite an ordeal sometimes to get this to work. It took me four calls over three different days and different time periods to get CIngular to add the WIX lines to my 7290 account. The first CSR had no idea what I was talking about. The second one knew but refused to help. The third one seemed to know and said she'd make the changes but apparently didn't.

The fourth one was the winner. He knew who to ask about it, and left the line. Then, a near catastrophe occurred. While I was on hold waiting for him to come back, I fat-fingered the landline phone I was using, trying to put him on my speakerphone, and instead disconnected the call. ARGH!! D'oh!!

I thought, well, this is it, I give up. But less than an hour later, I thought, what the heck, maybe he followed through. I pulled the battery, rebooted, and HEY! Verichat (trial version) now works. I didn't even get to say thanks, due to my fumbling my landline phone. :(

Now that I've had it for a few days, I have a few questions I can't seem to find answers to:

1) Does the paid version have more features than the trial?

2) Why does it seem to die every day, with the only way to fix it is to remove the battery for full reboot? It won't reconnect to AIM by just turning Verichat off and on again, and I hate to have to remove the battery every morning.

Thanks! Be persistent, keep bugging your carrier, and put the APN settings exactly as Mark says, and have fun!

P.S. I am still not yet upgraded to version 4.0 but this still worked.
