Pocket Verifier PDA Compatibility

*Compatible PDA's and Wireless Technologies* all of these devices and carriers work with Pocket Merchant and our software!
Verizon - generally has the best coverage of all the carriers: See their coverage map here, but they just don't "get it" when it comes to PDA data. PDA's don't gobble data, they "sip" it. A credit card transaction is only 2.5 Kilobytes, and how much browsing can you do on a 2 inch screen? Still, they push their "Unlimited Data Usage" plan at $49.99 per month. Even their 10Mb plan is pricey at $29.99 per month, although that is enough for 4000 transactions! On the bright side, if you buy direct through Verizon- and talk to a manager, you CAN get a 1.5 cent per kilobyte billing plan. That's only about 4 cents per transaction, and you don't pay anything (for data) if you do not do transactions in the month. They make it REAL HARD to get this, you must talk to a Verizon manager, and explain (slowly) that your data needs are around 100K (a TENTH of a ONE Megabyte per month (assuming you do 40 transactions per month). If you are talking to them, you might want to remind them that Sprint has UNLIMITED data for only $15 per month, and they place you on the 1 penny per kilobyte plan just by refusing the $15 per month plan! No questions asked! If you use the 1.5 cent per kilobyte plan, make sure they DISABLE EMAIL. THeir email system checks for mail a dozen times a day, adding DOLLARS PER DAY to your data without your knowledge!
T-Mobile - Something odd is going on here, T-Mobile is the ONLY MAJOR CARRIER WITHOUT A TREO. One wonders if someone at Palm got them angry. Unfortunately, this means we cannot give you comparative prices on their equipment, but we can give you their coverage maps: See their coverage map here. We can also look at their data plans. All they are currently listing on their site is their Unlimited data at $29.95. This is very reasonable for unlimited data. Make sure that your Internet settings are correct when they set them up: Tell them you need your APN set to "INTERNET2" or "INTERNET3" and definitely NOT "WAP".
Cingular (AT&T) - offers Treo 650 for $449.99, as well as the Siemens SX-66 for $249.99 with a 2-year contract. They also have the new Treo 680. Not the best deals, but not bad if you are in a Cingular area. You can see their coverage map here. Make sure that your Internet settings are correct when they set them up: Tell them you need your APN set to "ISP" or "INTERNET" and definitely NOT "WAP".
Sprint - is still currently the winner, with Treo 650's at $329.00 and Treo 600's at $249. Their unlimited data is only $15 per month, and you can get their penny per kilobyte data plan just by declining the $15 per month plan! Their coverage is excellent, see their map here, which actually lets you drill down to the actual, individual towers on the street level. For the Pocket PC user, they have their PPC6601 for only $353.00! They have the widest selection of compatible PDA's, the lowest cost data services, and their coverage is first class. If you are looking to change your carrier, Sprint is our #1 recommendation!
	Treo 650 for Sprint We are ABSOLUTELY impressed with the Treo 650. This one has it all! Not only does it do everything that the 600 did, but the screen has DOUBLE the resolution (actually 320 by 320 pixels, 4 times the amount of actual pixels on the 600), and the screens are gorgeous. This little prize takes pictures, MOVIES, and more. They changed the connector on the bottom (again), so it will be a while before we get cables for the Pocket Merchant, but the Bluetooth works perfectly. The 650's Bluetooth verifies the connection every time you use it, which alleviates the common problem on Pocket PC's where the connection sometimes "disappears". Our Pocket Spectrum works like a dream, and is easy to set up. www.SprintPCS.com
