I am looking for a couple of more beta testers for the Cingular Firefox Extension. I need people who meet any one of the following criteria:
- Are a Cingular Orange customer and have more than one lines on their account.
- Cingular Orange Customer with mobile to mobile minutes in your account.
- Cingular Orange Customer with some kind of bonus anytime minutes in your plan.
If you meet any of the above criteria and are interested in beta testing this extension please get in touch with me. What amazes me is that there are SOOOO many possible combinations of services for Cingular/AT&T available out there as oppsoed to Verizon/T-mobile/Sprint that I will have to spend a long time testing with them to make sure it really works for them and this is not even considering SMS and Data Usage. But that will come at a later date…First thing First

I finally got tired of using 30gigs.com . It is just not ready for prime time and the services are too minimal. I was using it as the primary contact id for my blog and got tired of resending messages because it did not attach the attachment or is just too darn slow at time for loading the message. No filters so I cannot sort my emails and the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, activemind at gmail was taken (I am open to offers for that gmail id or yahoo id if the person who owns it is willing to give it up) so I took coolactivemind at gmail. Its also now on my contact page so you can view it there too. You can either contact me at this new email id or if you please you can still send me at the old one at 30gigs and I will still respond to it but I check that account only once a day so gmail might be faster and I have a FF extension for that too so I will know right away.
So much for trying a new service…but the lesson learnt, dont make it your primary email id for something thats important. Yahoo, hotmail and gmail have taken a lot of time before they became reliable enough to be treated as primary email ids.
Sorry about all the churn guys..

I wanted to extend a big thanks to all of you for so much patience and effort that I am seeing. I was really surprised that so many people were looking for an extension like this and the best part is that everyone is helpful enough to patiently test it even though it is in early beta right now.
A big thanks to Mike who did a new Cingular Logo for me. The one I have currenly in there has a white background and apprears kind of stretched out image. He has mailed me a new one in which the background is grey and kind of mixes with the FF statusbar color. I will include it as part of my next release which should sometime tomorrow (Tue) night. I am also thinking of kind of following a release schedule like every Tue evening and maybe Fri evening. Then gather all the feedback and do the fixes and then release a new version until we come out of beta. I think I am going to need 2 releases a week because as you all know I am a Cingular Blue customer so I will have to rely on everyone else on the testing.
Thanks again for all the help everyone.
