Pat,
Don’t dump your Verizon network just yet… unless you are in big
hurry to start using this.
By the way, are you happy with the quality of your Verizon service
so far?
I currently have to call in for voice authorizations on my cell
phone, which is a PITA. At a sale last week, I called my MSP’s voice
authorization number, and the guy on the other end told me that I
called tech support. I couldn’t understand what he was saying and
then he gave me another number, which I called and the lady said she
was selling magazine subscriptions. (I think he did this on
purpose.) I then called the original number again and got an
automated voice authorization for the card. Of course, the customer
was standing there waiting while I was making all these phone calls.
It’s very inconvenient for everyone involved. Similar things have
happened in the past.
I wouldn’t spend the money on just an e-terminal because I don’t do
enough shows yet, but I would certainly purchase an iPhone with an
app that would simplify my credit card transactions. The rest of the
time I can use it as a phone, iPod, web browser…
Thanks for mentioning this! Like you said, a really good excuse to
splurge on an iPhone. I think I’ll wait until the 4G comes out,
though.
