How did YOU get into the world of cell phones?

I got started when a cell phone place ripped me off. Now, I beat them at everything. I have better service, flash more phones, and more sales.

I got addicted to this as soon as I flashed a motorola Razr to Cricket. I love this and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Yeah, Razors are still my best seller. Very sturdy phone and very easy to take apart and put back together. I love this business and for the most part I love dealing with the people in it and the customers.

The longer I do this the more I realize how vicious this business can be. I have tried to talk to other people who do this in my hometown and they want nothing to do with me. They see me as a threat. Makes no sense to me. There is plenty of money to be made in this by everyone. I take care of my customers and do all I can to learn new phones and keep up with it.

I can see how even forums have become vicious in competition. My only goal in starting this forum was to give people an m-f alternative because while I love HOFO, you are limited in what you can post there.

I hope to make this forum as popular as M-F was. And with the help of Pseudo, Dex, and Whitey this will certainly become that in a relatively short period of time.

Yes! Very well said...And I understand well about the vicious aspect of the biz. No shop owner will talk to me, but they have no problem sending there people in to check us out. I dont know how many retarted calls we get from these guys, or how many time customers will come in and tell us how they would say stuff....

One thing about My Biz is we are Honest. I make sure my guys tell the truth to the customers and dont force products on them that wont fit there needs.

I dont know if you guys have the same issues in your area but man its funny to see some shops fight on craigslist! We try to stay off craigslist since the past few months its been full of scammers, and these shady shops....there giving everyone else a bad rep.
Well post once in awhile just to get us out there some.

but in the end its fun! As long as we keep our noses clean!

I got tired of paying someone else for S***ty service :P Now they pay me for even S***tier service!!! Lol

So to all you stores out there "Don't give your customers S***ty service or they just might wind up being your competition or you might even wind up being one of thier customers"
