I used to work for those losers, it hate the managers but the pay is good and the service is good, ignore management.

Safe? Yes. Is it ethical? Probably not but I think the rule of thumb is jump on and do what you have to do quickly and get off. You are in essence borrowing (stealing) thier bandwidth and it is more polite that if you HAVE to use it just be brief so it does not interfere with what they want to do with the bandwidth they paid for. Not that I am on the moral high road. I do it from time to time but I just get on check e-mail an get off. i don't surf for too long.

It is morally wrong, your stealing something from someone who is paying for it and stealing bandwith from their service provider.\n\nLegally has yet to be determined, I bet a prosecutor could make a pretty good arguement that it is at least theft of services, the article below give a pretty good synopsis of the question.

You can go to the websites that I have as sources. You need to know who their wireless provider is. #1 is nextel (it may also let you send it to sprint phones sinces they are partners now). #2 is verizon, #3 is cingular, #4 is T-mobile, #5 is suncom. At this time I can't think of another cellphone company except local providers. If you need another cellphone provider you can usually find a link to send a text message on their homepage. If not there you can just search around where they talk about text messaging. Hope this helps you out.

although its anoying, you would most definetly do it yourself if you were trying to attract new customers to your business, at the end of the day most people will only buy if the deal is really good or they are currently after that particular product or service at the time of the call or e-mail, so for 90% of people contacted the answer will probably be no or please call back another day so its probably not ethical for them anyway.

I'm not sure that your marketing instructor will appreciate this, but even though your environment (customers, suppliers, investors, community...) will punish you if it thinks that you are unethical, choosing to be ethical still incurs an opportunity cost.  Think like this, you are Nike and you have six low cost suppliers for sneakers, just like Reebok.  If you know that the two cheapest ones employs children and choose to use neither, you are constricting your options to compete.  Not all questionable actions are found out.\n  This is why I detest linking ethics to profitability.  It's so hollow to follow the "Right path" because it makes you more money, instead of value driven behavior being done for more fundamental principles.\n\nGood luck to you on this....

It is a bit rude to use someone else's phone to make a call wtihout asking.\n\nI would keep a wary eye on this one.

Ethics are not, by definition, unethical.  However, I suspect you mean something specific, such as a rule that the company you work for calls "ethics" which you question.  Try to tell us about it.

Wow!\n\nI worked for a big manufacturer 20,000 employees at peak!\n\nI allowed the phone to be used for personal use as I had quite a large number of ladies with families (who had children) worked in keypunch / data entry area.  Also had guys getting dates!  People have lives, outside of work.\n\nNow here is where one person can  and has messed it up for everyone else.  I ran storerooms where workers would come up to get bolts and fasteners ... One of my storekeepers held up a line of workers by talking on the phone! Resulting in my having to take the "out of yard access" privilege out of all the yard telephones!  So that no storekeeper could call out of yard unless he/she called the office for access code for that one event!  It was a pain for all of us! Caused by the abuse of that one individual! Messed it up for over 54 other employees!\n\nThat's usually how it happens.  My areas usually self-policed, the people realized that I would work with them.  It was US not ME and THEM - WE were a team!\n\nYOU as an employee really know when you push it to far!  You really are not paid to talk to friends and the conversations are not necessary  conversations.\n\nOn the other hand ... Doctor appointments ... hairdo ... school ...  etc ...  these are mandatory!  and vital for existence!\n\nUse the above as a guideline, I would call it my version of common sense.\n\n\nHave a good day,\n\nAPS

I would steer clear of this one, the website is too basic and tells almost nothing about a company claiming to have generated over a million dollars in revenue for AT&T.  Trust your gut feeling, if your asking....it's not the right job.

As long as there are from Cingular themselves then yes, they should be free. For example like when you pay your bill, (and have signed up to receive a free notice) they will text message you to say your bill has been payed. Things like this are free of charge through Cingular.

You're right on the money! And those bitching about cell phone tapping should stop and think. Those damn things broadcast over a block of radio frequencies just like walkie-talkies. Anyone with a few bucks and a desire to eavesdrop can buy a scanner and listen in. Marketeers only want your money. The CIA could care less what your wife wants you to bring home from the grocery store after work, but scam artists may be interested in your intimate chat, and they don't need any warrant to listen in.

I am sure it is either charged as a text message or wireless internet usage - either way there are fees.  I would suggest checking out their site to find out the specifics - or call their customer service number.

haha i like that one - plan your escape at your leisure with your mate on the 'outside'. you'll be telling me next they all have wireless laptops in their cells and a little man who comes with food everytime you press a buzzer on the wall :)\n\ni wonder how many people think about what they're asking before they ask it? 30% at most i reckon.

I have been with cingular for about 4 months and everytime I get a bill there is something wrong on it.  I wish I never went to cingular.
