Currently jumped into the Management role and handle Day to Day OPs/Maintenance, and Fixed Network planning/implementation.
 
interesting. i was a switch tech for cingular in phoenix for awhile. loved that job and the knowledge, but not enough money. i've been applying to cricket for years now. i'd love to be a switch tech in san diego for cricket ;)
 
I think they are actually looking for a Switch tech as a field tech buddy of mine is filling in as one out there. I'll hit him up this weekend and get the skinny for you. You'd love the SD switch. It's pure jewlery. Helps that Corporate is based out of SD. So they sunk some serious money into looks and bling out there.
 
No background in phones other then having one for a while. Never worked in the field before i started flashing. Dont really want to work in the cell business much longer either.
 
Technology is the future. Phones is a good business to be in. People all have them and will always need new ones and need to keep talking. It was a fun run but id rather be in computers or web/graphics. so meh who knows if i make it big ill stay in phones :lol:
 
Well i pitched telsave/talk.com while working at a formerly gigantic ISP... :erabaresse :allred:

But that got me a free blackberry 950 to play with on Mobitex network, till service was sunset in august 2002.

All the rest of the stuff I had access to was alpha satellite/RABl internet type stuff, rarely touching telco.
 
^^^ LOL, anyways, i want to actually get a job in cellphone business or anything that can increase my intellectual on phones.
