If the system works, it will allow me to cancel my MSN account that I set up for traveling. After 2 days I decided to call to check on the status. GoAmerica said it will probably take 7 days to set up the service. I was told it is a very complicated and intricate procedure. Each 957 has a serial and PIN number, much like a cell phone.
Cell phones take less then an hour to turn on.
The Blackberry is no more complicated than the cell phone. MSN and AOL take about 15 minutes to turn on. There are probabably 3 services involved, GoAmerica, Blackberry, and BellSouth. My guess is that there is redundant red tape involved in each stage. Staples may even be involved in the red tape somewhere.
