Yada's Not Dead Yet!

Greetings everyone,

This afternoon I got lucky when someone named Eric answered the phone at Yada. (He's the same person who left the new outgoing message that you guys are referring to.) He said that Yada is definitely NOT going out of business, and fully intends to continue service; though they are having major problems today.

I made him aware of this thread and that many are under the impression that Yada is going under. I stressed to Eric that Yada needs to make a public statement SOON; whether it's via email or on their website, and he agreed. He said that he'll pass my message on to his superiors asap.

I also made him aware that some of you have already initiated contact with Omnisky and that Yada better act expediently before they lose any further customers.

To those of you who have already called other services: BE CAREFUL! If Yada is truly not going under, then your hurry to sign on with the competition may leave you stuck with commitments to two contracts.

Eric did say to please bear with them while they correct today's glitches.

Only time will tell...

I got online with OmniSky today - yesterday Verizon's network was having trouble. It took the tech some time to find a good IP, but it took YY's tech at least as long. The so-called browser is useless so far - back to Blazer...I never did get it to work, but the email feature is fine and connected to my ISP POP3 easily. The modem sometimes crashes my Visor, which it did not do under YY. I do like OmniSky's more professional approach, assigning a Case Number to follow the issues, very quick response when I called Tech Support and a more active web site. I'll reservbe judgement on the service until I test it more fully. Since I signed on for only one month, using my free modem, I have no real concerns if it does not pan out...

current omnisky browser still not in color yet, but I think and hope they will release an omnisky version of Blazer.

Yada seemed to be down in Seattle today. Tonight I can get on the web with it, but it's kind of hit or miss. One minute I'm ripping along at a pretty good clip, the next I've lost the connection, then I'm back, then I'm off again.

All is not lost...

12:30 am 4/19/01 - I was just able to connect for the first time in about a day and a half. I'm feeling better already BTW, I'm in the LAX area.

Still nothing here in Queens, NY. I don't want to try installing version 4 of the YY software until they've got service up and running again. I hate trying to troubleshoot two problems at once....
