ftd.com sucks!
so, during the holiday season - there's not much worse than having to deal with death. when it happens, one would expect a company to live up to it's claims on it's website.
- ordered flowers for delivery the next day delivery
- nothing from them for 2 days
- phone call asking for exact delivery address: I provided, as well as a contact for more precise delivery instructions.
- sent email to friend : no delivery, and she had NO IDEA what ftd was
- forth day and phone # reports "cannot give you an update, use website"
- fill out the online request form
- another 2 days pass - nothing
- go to funeral, service
- receive the confirmation while on the way home!
- write / comment / request refund
- refund granted
- get a call from them claiming that it was delivered
- informed that they had to do some "research" before re-charging me
- RECHARGING!!! I was so upset, I told the representative: I was at all of the services and there was nothing from you! I dare you to try to re-charge me.

Activating a Sprint USB modem! what a pain
So, everything looks so easy on the website.... swap an esn - save about 150 by buying at an auction. Then you get the card, and the software is included - it just sounds so peachy. Then: it never asks for the codes that they provide after the ESN swap... and then no connection.
After calling their support #s... and going to 3 different reps - I had only one question, my original one "How do I manually force it to re-activate?" After jumping through their hoops of rebooting, etc... I told them - look, the about tab thing doesn't have the right information... FINALLY - the answer...
open the smartview software (which should be called dumbview)... hold down shift and type ##ATV# then let go of shift and enter the # provided at the end of the ESN swap...
Once again, and I hope this saves somebody time... ##ATV#
