My name is Epik. I frequent the Phonescoop.com Verizon forum quite a bit. I am the silent assistant to this blog, preferring to work on the blogging software and back end over writing. I do enough of that as it is, but most of all, I work in the wireless industry and have limited my thoughts and opinions to specific sites to avoid being detected by my employer.

Well, it’s fine time I speak up.

Don’t read too far into this - I’m not going to talk about my company. I am, however going to voice my opinion.

On Phonescoop, I am known for my fair take on things. I am a guest in their forums (some call me a legend), and there are people coming to the forums simply looking to ask questions. I try not to come across in a negative way. out of respect for that space. I won’t have as many restrictions here. Guru, my friend and this site’s main contributor, has given me his blessing to speak my mind on this blog as I see fit. I won’t be a whole lot different than I am on Phonescoop, but I won’t be restricted by respect and etiquette, either.

I will now dispense of my own editorials.

Welcome to a new world.

Hello PhoneCan

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. On Phonescoop, Engadget, and technology forums, I go by the name Menno, so that’s what I’ll use here as well. I’m a teck geek. I spend more time than what most people consider “normal” reading up about technology in general and cell phone’s in particular. I’m also a marketing major, economic hobbyist, and someone who spent a lot of time getting to know the cell phone industry itself.

When I read customers asking questions on forums, I’d try to do my best to help them, but I quickly discovered that forums weren’t the best medium for this. There are some very common questions that come up month in and month out, so I’d find myself answering the same thing over and over again. I started blogging on my own, but I only have a very narrow range of experience for some things, such as the differences between carriers, and what’s the point of running a technology blog if you can’t get over your own biases? So I joined the PhoneCan team.

What I hope to bring to PhoneCan is commentary on the wireless industry, specifically when it comes to technology. There are enough rumor sites out there, so I don’t plan on contributing to that. I’ll help you learn how to save money, choose a new carrier, and get the most out of your current device/plan.

With the help of Epik, Guru, and others, I hope to create a website that will be your go-to destination when it comes to expert commentary on the wireless industry, and the location of some of the best reviews and insight available online, but we can only do that with an active community of writers and contributors.

So hello PhoneCan, let’s start creating.

Hello. My name is Deepskyblue. I work on the customer service end of the wireless industry. I tend to like to learn the technical aspects of anything I’m working on, including my job. I’m not an expert on phones but I know a lot about the underlying technology that makes them work.

I believe that the wireless industry is one of one-up-manship and very driven by advertizing. I tend to find in working with customers that there are a lot of misconceptions out there about different companies that come from these competitive advertizing campaigns. In my articles I will try to make sense of some of the more confusing aspects of cellular technology and present them in a more understandable format.

I will also add that carriers make things more complicated than they need to be. I’ll try to help sort out account changes that can difficult to get accomplished and explain how lesser known policies can impact your service.

I also blog at www.diyallday.com

My first seriers of articles is on How to Build a Computer.
