Troy Dooly Reverses Decision Placing Global Verge Back On MLM Scam Alert List
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Yes, I am reversing my decision and placing Global Verge back on the MLM Scam Alert List. I was wrong! I have no problem admitting when I feel I’ve had the wool pulled over my eyes. After receiving numerous e-mails, and phone calls asking more questions than answers, we decided to dig a little deeper into some of the events which have transpired since our October 20th post, where we called Global Verge a legitimate MLM company.
Since our past post we have received some very disturbing updates. We also have gone back and listened to three very important Global Verge calls.
The first call was dated September 24, 2009, where Valerie the PR rep for Global Verge makes the following announcement.
Global Verge will be definitively activating the Cell Service in week of October 19th.
The second call dated October 29th. Ted Robbins once again stated “Next Week” we will be launching one of two of the new cell carriers.
And the third call dated November 5th, where Ted and Mark both announced “it will be soon” maybe next week (Yet next week never comes).
So we have gone from DEFINITIVELY launching the cell cervice in the week of October 19th, to who knows when we will launch Buzzirk’s Global Mobile 1 wireless services?
So, after researching several new pieces of information we have come up with a set of questions that ALL Global Verge, Buzzirk Mobile, and Global Mobile 1 reps should be asking. (some of which could show a track record of unethical behavoir on the part of Ted Robbins, Mark Petschel and maybe some of the founding distributors of Universal Tel-Tech, E-Verge, Global Verge, Buzzirk, Global Mobile 1 or whatever other name these folks have operated under.
1. Why didn’t Mark Petschel’s company Universal TelTech get off the ground. Especially since they seem to have attracted over 8600 reps?
“UTT – Universal Tel-Tech – This was supposed to be a revolutionary “high tech” company. They recruited almost all “heavy hitters” in pre-launch, people who wanted to be well positioned when the company launched. They all paid $225 to join, but the company folded before actually launching. 8,600 name, address, phone, (some fax and email).”

2. What’s the real Story behind why E-Verge Reps did not get their commissions? Has Ted Robbin’s and Mark Petschel actually filed a lawsuit against Kevin Sipe formerly founder of iGlobal Inc. to recover over $100,000 in purportedly stolen funds or is this just a ploy to keep from paying the former E-Verge reps?
3. Why is the new GlobalMobilei.com website using massive amounts of the same content from ZebraGSM.com website. Does Global Verge or Buzzirk have agreements with Freedom Wireless Corporation owned in part by TMT Capital Corporation? More News

Global Features and Zebra Features
4. Why would an Ethical company tell their reps to have their iPhone customers to “unlock” their iPhone’s” aka “jailbraking”when this will void the iPhone warranty of the iPhone and may be seen as an illegal act? Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
5. Why is Global Verge suing Zer01 Mobile, instead of Buzzirk Mobile? The Global Verge Distributors were told all agreements were between Buzzirk and Zer01, and GLobal Verge had marketing agreements with Buzzirk. This was one of the big reasons given for Zer01 compaining about Global Verge reps being out of compliance. Review Complaint
It is because of these outstanding questions, I have decided I was wrong and premature to move Global Verge from the MLM Scam Alert Category, and have instructed the team to move them back until future notice.
I still believe in the Global Verge distributors. However, I can’t take a chance someone will read my October 20th post and join a company with unethical motives.

If this is true, this proofs they are scamming. because if it was global verge( GM1) service , then he would not be able to do this.
Now thier working with a dealer named All Wireless, they are not MVNO, like they stated before.
Where is 5g gigs of Data on the 80.00 plan.
All wireless is a small boost mobile store in Jack Florida that’s it. Nothing more. And the owner has 9 convictions for cocaine possession
We are realeasing documents to destroy Gv tomorrow
I'm sorry to see how many have been duped inside what i call the wireless revolutionary war.
Basically just about every one in the nation is moving over to discount prepaid service and the network operators are making it hard (expensive) to offer the services we would like to, with that being said there are some that will take whatever measures necessary to profit even if it means scamming people.
I am in the business and have been fighting and negotiating for 3 months to add options for more data, minutes and text, happy to say I'll have it in the next week or so with out having to take the low road.
So what is it you are all looking for in your particular service?
Let me know
Thanks

I have been a member of GV since July. I have nothing good to say about it. I have faithfully tried to ask questions, but he only thing flowing is money up. No communication, no customer service, no suprise. I am glad to say that I quit, and will get my money back.
Just over a week ago I canceled my affiliation with Global Verge. Why? Simply because they continue to "promise" and then reneg on that promise. The straw that broke tis camel's back occurred Dec. 17, 2009. This was the long vaunted and promised date they told us they would provide the "training" necessary to become "certified". The date came and went…no training and NO explanaition, apology…anything UNTIL several days later after I sent a stream of support tickets to them. My answer from them was that they did post notice of cancellation, not mentioning that the notice was posted 2 days AFTER the putative training. President Ted Robbins, in his "Letter from the Desk of the President" several days ater Dec.11, although typically long winded and almost content free (although once again employing the "we are working so hard" mantra, never mentioned their failure once again to deliver
CHRIS GET OUT WHY YOU STILL CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please take your head out your butt dude, Look Chris is really a good guy and hasnt misrepresented anything I am one of his dealers in Texas, Midland, home of another misguided person George Bush, Look I have been a dealer for chris for 3 years now, He hasnt missed on commission check to me, nothing, and he has made me alot of money, and I think he could do the same for your distributors, But not with Global Verge, This is crazy!! Chris is A NATIONAL MASTER DEALER OF SIMPLE MOBILE, Us as a company have put 8200 people in a month on that network, and Chris sells ALL Prepaid NETWORKS. Including his own which is provided by verizon, So what GV is doing I dont know, I can just speak for activation king wireless, If GV would Get some damn Structure and leadership maybe chris could make the distributors money, but as it is now i seriously doubt it!!!!! Im saying this hoping that chris will see the light and get out before it is too late!!!!!!!!!, As for the distributors who are tired of being burned by GV you can come to us directly, why go to GV as a middle man?? Activation King Wireless sells thier plans cheaper than page plus, like Talk Text and 25MB data for 36.99 not 39.99 like page plus, so just to let you know if you want to make money in wireless, do it yourself, you can buy plans as needed, no money out on pins nothing, buy them virtually as you need them, activate instantly, Anyway please help us the dealers help get chris out of this f@@@ing nightmare called GLOBAL VERGE, thanks. And CHRIS DONT SELL THE COMPANY MAN, DONT DO IT!!!! YOU HAVE MORE INTEGRITY THAN THAT DUDE, START YOUR OWN MLM OR WHATEVER BUT DONT LET GV SCREW YOU AND EVRYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tough break for you, I received an e-mail on the 20th from my upline which was sent to her by head office which further outlined the delay.
The same e-mail and a number of calls from me went out to my team, and I encouraged my leaders to forward the info out to their reps as well
I decided to wait even if it meant riding out the Christmas holidays without getting certified. On Dec 30th, I received another e-mail that was sent to me again, by my upline (who also called & left me a message) to tell me that the site was now open. I went through the study guide and passed the exam.
I am up here in Canada, joined GV in early June; and cannot even offer the phone service (yet) and have not changed my stance on GV
Kevin S
Ottawa, Canada
I'll be calling my upline's leadership into question about not keeping you informed …
Kevin S,
Let me get this right. The company has the ability to send an email to the full field force which has been business as usual, but in this case, they send to a few folks, or at least to one, your upline.
And, you think, that's cool, and it should be the downlines responsibility to know an email was sent, so they should not show up on the call?
The other norm is for the company to place notices in the back office. In this case it did show up almost 48 hours after the call never took place.
I find this humorous.
Their "certification" is an on-line exam ?
Well, at least it must be cheap.
Kevin,
Don't hold your breath on being able to offer the phone service in Canada. With the current GV model it's impossible for them to offer what they are offering in the US in Canada because they are a reseller of a reseller of a reseller of a reseller of the Verizon and T-Mobile Network. Neither of those companies have networks in Canada. Telus is the communications monopoly up there. Good luck getting an MVNO deal with a Monopoly like Telus! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're going to be waiting A LOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG time for something to launch in Canada!
GlobalMobile1 is sellign simplemobile and Pageplus, this is the truth, i have contacted Verizon, T-mobile, and the MVNOs PagePlus and Simple Mobile, all have told me the same thing, there is no way another MVNOs customers info will show up in another MVNOs system, i am a dealer with pageplus , i have tested this my self, i had a buddy of mine who is a GM1 member to get four phones activated for me, all four were sent off to GM to be unlocked, once i recieved them i tried tracking them down. I was able to pull up all information via my pageplus dealer account, i also purchased a straight talk phone from walmart, which is provided by another verizon mvno, i was unable to pull up the information for that phone. so ted and mark, you guys need to quit lying to your reps and members. Also the so called creation of mandi the virtual assistant, you can get it anytime from http://www.speechphone.com. Guys dont let mark and ted scam you anymore.
If anyone doesnt believe what i am saying i can run any number provided to me that is on the cdma side, and report back with the information such as your current balance, when it expires, and what plan you are on. also how much data you have. i can also change your cell number if requested. i will do this at no charge, just to prove to all GM1 members that you are not crazy, and yes you are being lied to.
Ted is Still talking out his A#$ !
It is all a Top Secret Operation. Operation — Rob GV REPS Blind in FULL Force.
MAH,
If you are as confused and upset as you apparently are, save yourself the grief & leave the company, or do you have nothoing better to do than add to the "drama" that is being written here?
I am convinced MAH is an angry rep from another company who has a bad case of HUB disease (Head Up Butt)
Sarah,
You must have nothing better to do than come on here and try to belittle people, you gave no credible post. You Ma'am are a time waster. Get a life. I have dropped them and sent my papers to AG in Missouri.
And your words Hurt me. ha ha. HEAD Up BUTT, is this the way you spend your free time. bashing people keeping tabs on the crooks.
5. Global Mobile1 Service – We are an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). This means that we provide mobile phone service directly through the carriers. The data for our customers is housed on a server. This is the same server that other carriers use.
I am addressing this detail because there have been well meaning, yet misinformed e-Associates, that for some reason have tried to track down our detail and have been contacting the server administrators. These server administrators can see any carrier’s data. However, the only way to determine which MVNO a specific customer has gone through is to know the specific MVNO code. The customer service agents at the server location do not have access to these codes. Therefore, when the server administrator looks at the information they will not be able to discern which carrier the data is from, but just that the data is on the server. So, based on partial information, these researching e-Associates are making assumptions about where their service originated or who activated their service. Unfortunately the assumptions they are making are wrong assumptions based on partial information that is disseminated by seemingly helpful customer service reps from the server location.
I believe this mark P.(Global verge) guy rehearses this script a 1000 times before he speaks on a call, until he believes his on B.S. I believe Mark might be a Tweeker to say the least. I put the Sim caRD in my unlocked GSM phone and it says Simple Mobile. Mark did you buy Simple Mobile ? If Not , Then Why do keep lying about being your own MVNO.
I said i would get info on GSM for GM1 here it is
I called simple Customer service and they verified the sims card as valid on their network. purchsed from a dealer in Florida(hint). i the proceeded to ask if i could activate and purchase a plan from them . they i could contact any simple mobile dealer and they would activate and setup a epin for a plan. there plan cost 50.00 (highest plan they offer) it come Unlimited Talk And Unlimited Text+ 20 MB of data, for a additional 5.00 (20mb more).
GM1 80.00 UTLK and UTXT +5 gig Data(never) it is 20mb also , because it is Simple Mobile.
I feel like going to MISSOURI(Show Me State), and kicking you a@$ MARK , you Lieing , Crooked Ba$^ard.
You're acting like you're surprised at these findings MAH. People have been calling out Mark P. for the last 2 years. Thousands of people lost out when their last "revolutionary" satellite wireless E-Verge flopped. So he changed the name of the company to Global Verge and started again. Then when the Buzzirk flopped he changed the name again to GM1. When this flops he'll change it again. If people would stop buying into the hype long enough to do a little research they'd see all of this information out there. Unfortunately many people join Global Verge just based on the recommendation of their "friend". This is why so many good people are being sucked into a very BAD situation! This is how people get burned in MLM – they don't think for themselves. Do your research, make an educated business decision, and join a solid company. Sounds simple enough but unfortunately most people act only on emotion rather than informed decisions.
This is isnt all of MLM! This is this Effin scan Global Verge! Most MLM are legit! This GV is a chrock of shit. Petschal should be shot in the street for pulling this shit off. I wold love to go to one of these trainings and beat the shit out of this guy. Mark I am calling you and your scamming posse out! lets meet up so i can beat the crap out of you and your cronies. lol loser S.O.B!
Troy something has got to be done about this company. This is a Crime happening right before out eyes. What can we do to? Peopel are activly being scammed and misled. Somebody has got to strop this guy.
I edited this post without changing the context of the message. (Although it was a little hard to do!)
The context is correct, what has been happening for months is unethical. However, because top distributors (some who have been with Mark for years) are being paid good money to keep the scam running, good hearted, unknowing distributors are still being scammed.
I do know the AG of Missouri and the AG of Nevada are aware of what is going on, and will gladly accept any documentation or complaints from distributors who feel they have been scammed.
Troy, thought you'd like to see the latest Network World article written about this ridiculous company.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/121509-zer0...
This just shows how unprofessional, unprepared, and downright disgusting Petschel and Robbins are. They never cared for the reps, just get something out there to get the membership fees coming in. They lied the whole time, said they had phones when they didn't, etc etc etc.
This is an embarrasment to the Network Marketing profession. Outrageous.
Concerned,
This just gets more and more interesting. Why would the founders of a company send $120K to the owner of an Escort service, which is owned by the founders of Zer01? Exactly what type of services was Global Verge getting ready to offer. Talk about Stacking, and multi-level.
But, I have to admit, it is cool being acknowledged for our coverage of the network marketing profession.
What I really find interesting is the fact, they are only asking for $170,500.00. Why not go for a few million. The loss of goodwill, the loss of distributors. I am wondering if GV really had tens of thousands of reps. This lawsuit should be worth at least $10 to $15 million.
This is hilarious! Do you all remember the Global Verge conference calls where Mark and Ted and the leaders talked about how Zer01 was a $30 billion dollar company and that they had invested billions into their product. What a crock! It's no wonder people are starting to defect, finally!
Yes, this just PROVES they are unbelievable LIARS! They boasted about the working phones that they had, but now it comes out that there never were any phones. They boasted about how unbelievably big Unified Technologies was, $Billions of dollars invested, etc. Now it comes out that they loaned them $170,000, and that money went to fund a brothel outside of Vegas. They say AK Wireless has hundreds of thousands of customers… AK Wireless isn't even a registered business in the state of Florida. This has got to be the best pitcher of Kool Aid in history. What a stinking, rotten SCAM!
In hopes Global Verge was not a scam, I bought a sim. When I received it I saw the name on the sim had been dremmel'd off. I installed it into my phone and it picked up a simple mobile signal on the T-mobile tower by my home. I went to mysimplemobile.com and guess that globalmobile1 are resellers of mysimplemobile. The 79.95 plan GV is offering only costs 50 on mysimplemobile.com and you can become a reseller through them. What a deception. I did not activate the card. They will crash and burn when the e-associates find out.
WOW! that is Not suprising! Glad i cancelled them in July, right after I realized it impossible to download a HighDef movie to my hand set in 4 Min. lol
Seriouly how stupid were we? lol i was all about Gv for quite some time.
How is this? how can these scamming leaders say they had the phone then say they didnt and these people , shmucks still follow them? how can that be? are people really that stupid? how are people still trusting this company? what am i missing?
The next thing I did was ask why i did not have any data, and they said you balance for data is zer0ed out. would you like to ass some money on the account. I said so if I add money on my account it will give me back the internet on my phone. CSR said YES. so i did , and 30 min later i had internet on my phone, that was supposed to be setup on GM1 service. BS!! CDMA side of GM1 is PAGE PLUS , BELIEVE IT OR DON'T. I don't care either way. I'm Done with GV.
I am a Global Verge rep and I just called Page Plus this morning. I gave them my number and asked if the number was one of their's and they said yes. They even told me that I have Unlimited Text and Talk with the 20MB of data for the 39.99 that I paid through Global Mobile 1. GM1 sells it as just Unlimited Talk. They said that their dealers many times charge higher fees than the plans to cover their expenses. Unfortunately, the rep (Tasha) said, she has received calls from PP customers that didn't know that they could just go to the Page Plus store and save money. Like MAH explained, there is extra money being divided, and part of it is the master agent's handling fee.
All GV had to do was say, we are re-sellers for Page Plus and Simple Mobile and our goal is to be our own carrier. They could have even been their own Master Agent and then had us as "dealers" and kept more of the money without Activation King. Why hide information if you are truly trying to build a legit company especially with your history? I guess that the naivety of many Triple Diamonds is allowing this to continue…….
Chris, Mark And TED. I got one question ?Did you think we would not dial *611, after you make a big deal about on the last call. That is exactly what i did today.
Do you think everybody is that naive, not to do a little research. It only cost me 15.00 for activation, 80.00 for plan, and 20 min on hold to find out, that you are a bunch of Scamming , LIE through your Teeth Con Artists.
I finally have proof !!. If you have CDMA with Global Mobile 1 activated and purchased a plan only, please do yourself a favor ,unless you want to pay for twice as much for something through GM1. Please call *611, if busy keep calling, it will evetually pick up select Option #2, please be patient and wait on hold ( believe me GV does not won't you to call to find out truth, pageplus will answer phone eventually.when they do , ask them to tell you who the dealer is that sold you. They will ask for cell number , when you give it to them, they will then ask for password, it is last 4 digits of your number(example: 212-333-5555) . 5555 is password. then they will lookup your dealer which will be none other than.

CONTINUED TO NEXT POST
"Excited" I have been with GV since May 28th so I have heard all the BS. I was fired up and had personally sponsored over 40 people. The biggest mistake I have ever made in life. I think that only 4 still speak to me as they feel I was part of the SCAM. I tried to explain I was just passing along the info from the President of the company. None of the people I sponsored want anything to do with this 3rd or 4th party service. They were extremlly EXCITED about an orignial product that only Buzzirk was going to have before anyone else. They the family,friends and business partners are the ones who are so made that they would like to sue for "BAITING and SWITHCING" I do not what else to call what they did.
Ps They are still tell people you can get UNLIMITED everything service. We all here with a brain and not drinking the Koolaid understand this. Good luck looking at yourself in the mirror and know your company has been and continues to misled and only RECRUIT.
This is how much they think they can make you believe, what ever they tell you is the gospel.
We are not reselling page plus, and we are not reselling simple mobile(the one chris claims to own), when in fact the are.
who knows what phone he was using to make those calls.
because here in texas # 611 on my cell from my Global Mobile 1 (CDMA Phone) gets(Carrier) verizon, * 611 gets(Mvno) page plus. but i can tell you my son has ATT and dials *611 and get ATT, and dials #611 and gets number not valid response. and when I had Verizon *611 got verizon, and #611 Got number not valid response.
So as you see #611 gets you the Provider, and *611 gets you the Carrier.
But of course ATT is the Carrier and provider, and would not be a MVNO on a Carrier.
I hope I am not confusing anybody, trying to keep it simple.
They are trying to spin you a story.
SHAME ON YOU GLOBAL VERGE! LIARS! Just keep that story spinning, and PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE don't run out of KOOLAID ! Because I'm bringing the POPCORN !
Now i will just wait on the GV cult members to bash me. Becuase thier Prophet said he was not reselling anything. But they would not proof it. So just believe me.
Kind of like going out on a 3rd looking to get lucky and she says i don't have any STD's or you gonna believe that and risk dying.
WE want Proof. Most of you have never even met these Leaders, but act like you would follow them straight to H@ll.
They are not list as a MVNO on the database for Network Operators. Proof my A@#.
I have had enough. I'm done with GV.
I know I am on Page Plus for a FACT. and I will not pay another dime to GV or GM or AK.
I will stick with Page Plus for Less money though. 40.00, not GM1's 80.00
this call was absolute bull shit call tonight. they are trying to justify they are not reselling. he said he had proof, but they were not going to show us proof. *611 does tell you who your carrier(mvno) is . LYING SOB'S.
Propaganda BS.
Those of us that have followed everything since June, do not feel any 'bait and switch' tactics, as you claim. They severed their contract with Zer01, yes we were excited about what we thought was coming, but it didn't. They did a 360 and now we have more than we would have had with Zer01. Originally, with Zer01, we only had 2 plans to choose from. Now we have many, starting at $39.99. Our commissions were only going to be $10/mo. per customer, now it starts @ $14/month per customer. Wow, why is it noone ever talks about all the positive changes as a so called 'bait and switch'? Is it possible for a company to switch gears? If you've been plugged into to ALL the information, you would see that, yes, they were honest about everything that was and was not happening. You must be just getting bits and pieces my friend.
Troy,
The fact is, if someone still owes money to their provider, is still on a contract, etc., then their phone is locked, yes. These phones cannot be unlocked for good reason. However, if someone has a phone with none of these issues, than there is no reason they can't be unlocked, BY LAW!! Noone ever said to just put in a new sims card. It is a lot more complicated than that and every issue has been addressed and detailed by the company. They have been straight up about all of it.
Excited,
Thank you for explaining. One question on this, that I am still not clear on.
You gave a clear explanation on the service side on things. However, in the case of iPhone this issue seems to go beyond "owing money on a contract." It is about proprietary, patent protected firmware, which is being hacked. This violates the warranty of the device itself, so if anything happens to the iPhone it is no longer covered by Apple.
At least this is what it seems from reading all the legal docs at Apple covering the iPhone.
Help me out here so I fully understand.
Living An Epic Adventure,
Troy
Troy,
About the IPhones warranty, the iPhones warranty only last for 12 months. Also when you get the IPhone you most likely signed up for a 2 year contract with AT&T. Therefore by the time you can legally unlock your phone the warranty is already up.
Steve,
That makes since to me. However, here are a few of my concerns.
1. Security issues: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8373739.stm
2. Copyright infringement: http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2008/responses/appl...
3. Apple's stance: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/02/apple-sa...
As a security expert, my biggest concern with all voip and unlocked phones is the facts most are smart phones (mini-computers) and can act as a botnet in the wrong hands.
And from what I am reading my concerns are valid.
Troy,
I went to check out what you were saying but all the links where 404 not found.
Are you talking about hacking them? Because if you are it will not change the only thing that changes is that you can use them on another compatible service.
Excited please do not get brainwashed more. Your quote "They have been straight up about all of it" Is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. They have not been straight about ANYTHING. It is called BAIT and SWITCH and what they have done is not what many consider LEGAL. Good luck promoting a SCAM!!!
Where is that unlimited everything plan with the amazing Phantom PHONE. I think you guys called it a pharos 137 that would do everything even watch TV and 6 way video conferencing. Can you video conference with Troy on your """UNlimited Phone"""????
Troy Can you inform us if global verge is actually is up and running. Just Curious, cause i looked at there site and it shows Phones and Plans. Can You investigate and tell us what is going on. I am a former MArine and I want to do the right thing.
Det2143,
From talking with some Triple Diamond, they are marketing a cell service, but nothing new or exciting. And one huge concern is we have not been able to verify if they are tethering off of bootlegged towers from AT&T and others. We do know they have told folks how to jalbreak their iPhones to use their sim cards. However, there is more involved in doing all this legally than just changing sim cards.
If you join, I would not be recruiting at this point in the game. And I would use the first out of the service, before I marketed it to anyone else. From what I have seen here, the customers are not Global Verge's but some other company's.
What happened to the GV weekly calls, I didn't find the recorded call for Tues Dec. 8 or Thurs Dec. 10. Did these calls happen, anyone provide the links where I can find these calls?
Hey, the weekly calls are in your replicated site (username.globalverge.com). Select Recorded Calls.
Nobody has come forward to prove me wrong about the CDMA side of GM1. Being a resold plan of PagePlus Cellular. Remember I said CDMA, not GSM. I don't have proof about GSM plans as of yet.
So calling all GV reps come forward and prove me wrong.
Here is some new info on ActivationKing. The SUPERphone service provider. Enjoy the reading.
http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mob/1496160706...
If Activation King Wireless is in Florida, why can't we find their business filing with the State? http://www.Sunbiz.org is where you can look up a registered business in Florida. Even if they are registered in another state, they would still have to be registered in Florida to legally do business. While searching, I found a craigslist post of a very disgruntled customer. See how AK/GV customers will be treated. I've been looking for info on Activation King Wireless for a while. They are supposed to be located in Florida, but I cannot find their business filing with the state of Florida. Nothing even close.
While searching, I ran across a post from a very "Satisfied" (insert sarcasm) customer of Activation King, which is what GV is selling. Check out the *****slist post. This should clear up questions about the service.
http://jacksonville.*****slist.org/mob/1496160706.html
Yes i did get the Text
They closed the ticket out as resolved.
This was my response to their resolution.

I have already bought a plan and my phone is unlocked. I got a email after i activated my phone from activations. with link to buy my plan. it was added to my account.
I am telling you , my internet(data) is not working , because i only had 20mb of data to use , not 5 gigs.
i would like this resolved.
This the 2nd time i have got a support ticket for this and you give me the same response.
You still have not told me why I am on Page Plus Cellular plan Through Your activations and plan I bought.
*611 gives me my provider, and they say my number is with Page Plus Cellular , not Global Mobile 1.
As you can see somethings will never be addressed correctly, because the truth will come out.
Sad part is I had high hopes for this.
I have been with GV a long time. very disappointing.
Wish they would get their act together.
did you get the text saying 'enjoy your unlimited plan' aftyer you bought your 80.00 plan or are you still on the activation temp plan?
Still more
we will be offering manual activation service very soon to help those with non verizon phines or those having trouble with activation. This service will assure you that the phone will be activated. This service will have a one time nominal cost
I sent in a support ticket through GM1
Posted On: 01 Dec 2009 9:29 AM
I was activated on 11-27, and today i recieve text saying my account balance is 0.00,
i am on the 80.00 unlimited plan.
*611 (provider), and they tell me i'm on page plus cellular.
and my account is zeroed out, and i must make payment to put money on my account to use data.
What is going on here?
I need answers, this is not good.
And then I wait for a reply.
Nothing. so I posted again yesterday. a reply to my own trouble ticket.
Posted On: 05 Dec 2009 12:12 PM
IT has been over 72 hours and no return call or response by support ticket. my phone is got talk and text, but i do not have data. i used the data for about 2 days checking email and then that is when i called *611 as the operator said on my phone. they told me i only had 20 mb of data, and it was depleted , i was supposed to be on up to 5 gigs of data. with 80.00 plan.
Like i stated before they told me i was on page plus cellular. not global mobile 1, i went through activation, bought the plan , and i'm on some service that your activation department put me on.
and, yes I am a GV rep. No agenda here , except to find out why I was sold a plan that is half the price of what they are selling it for. Got to hand it to them great concept.
10,000 activations with that extra 20.00 hiding somewhere after pay out , is a lot of money in 2 weeks.
Fact from a dealer MAH,
What are you telling me the HUGE UNLIMITED GM1 Service has caps? THis makes me laugh… Just like every major cell service provider I know, GM1 or whoever they are has gone out and done exactly what Corporate America has done…. Lied to the end user. Wait I guess it's not a lie, it is on the FAQ page.
I wonder how many Global Verge reps have ever read the FAQs or have any clue they will be held personally responsible on a Class Action or Criminal Lawsuit?
This is the BS response below in next reply I got from questions i asked in my support ticket above. a scripted response at that. This is pathetic. this has nothing to do with my questions. because I am already activated an on the 80.00 plan with unlocked phone.
Believe I want to be a viable resource, for me to have something worth selling to my customer base.
But, it always something different than what they say. It started out no activation fee , until launch, then it was 34.99(discounted to 14.99) until they decide to make it 34.99 again.
I 'm trying the service out to see if is viable commodity to sell to my customer base. So far . No it is not . Already sell same plan for less under different provider. With no outrageous claims

——————————————————————————–
If you ordered CDMA and have not received service yet and you did not receive an email with your new mobile number and a link there is a problem as we have done multiple 1000s of sucessful activations for GM1 service, or your phone is showing a low balance as this is the temp service we issued until your phone has completed activation on GM1,
If you phoine is still not activated after filling out an activation form and you have not received the secoind email with your new GM1 number and link, please pay attention:
your phone or ESN is locked with another carrier or it is with another carrier other than Verizon or Alltel or you are trying to active a EMEI number which is a GSM handset, or you entered the wrong ESN, Hex, or DEC Number.
Still part of response.
Call the carrier it is currently with to get it unlocked. If it is with a non Verizon carrier, it must be manually activated. This form will be up this week in all members back office to fill out and pay for a manual activation. This will cost 14.99 as manual activations can take upto an hour to do and we have to pay our staff to do these.
please check the new order form instructions and look for this form to go up very soon
If you are porting your exsisting number please note: this number must be free from all contracts and any payments to current carrier, if it is under contract or monies owed to your current carrier, you could be charged a fee from this carrier when number is ported to GM1
Once proper forms are completed all actiavtions and phone is working then send in another ticket so we can credit funds from original activation
If for some reason you have your new GM1 mobile number but do not know where to go to buy a monthly plan the link for this is

Anybody on GM1 Got hese to work.
Q: How can I keep track of my account?
A: Check balance #BAL (#225), check minutes used #MIN (#646), check text used #674.
Probably not ?
But if your have service with Verizon they do.
Q: How can I contact Global Mobile1 for support?
A: You can submit a support ticket by going to our support page or by clicking here or you can reach them by email at Support@globalmobile1.com.
This is a Joke
EVEN the number they give to call is a joke. if you want to know about you service you have to file a support ticket.
so they have time to call activation king, who then has time to call page plus , who then call back GM1, who then replies to you in GM1 support ticket
Dealer MAH, this is why its being launched to reps only for the moment. Obviously you are impatient and want everything now. I've filed many support tickets and get responses right away. Once its up and running to the general populous, they will have a phone number, not support tickets. Globalverge could have easily taken another 8 weeks to ensure people like you receive Diamond level service for Distributors but chose to launch asap due to the continuous ranting of eassociates. Take some time to chill. Your sitting on a gold mine, No JOKE! Perhaps you would be happier with Televerus VOIP only service, then you don't have to worry about calling customer service to one of the major carriers because they don't have any such arrangements. Even their ATT deal is dead!
John, you make a good point about being available to reps only. However, later this week one of the Wireless MLM companies will make a huge announcement and drop their telecommunication as we know it today… Maybe period!!!!
First ProxyComm bailed out of MLM, now which real MLM company will leave the MLM Wireless niche?
Mr Hendrickson, you miss the point.
I am A rep and I want a honest answer, why was I sold a plan from Global Mobile 1 , that is really a plan from page plus cellular for twice the price.
With this model there is nothing engineers or MIT graduates have to do .
The GM1 page captures info that is sent to activation king, who plugs the info into a 3 party website PAGE PLUS CELLULAR. Recieves email back with customer info (new phone number)
to say service is activated purchase plan. then he forwards that info in his own email to GV rep with link to purchase plan. that is why they decided to make purchase activation and plan buying at different times to give him enough time to process everything. all that info going through that many hands. No SSL Security. Not a way to run any online entry.
But what do i know.
I was Wrong. They Just send you scripted response back .
I have sent 10 support tickets and I get an email with a link and password to check the progress and out of the 10 I have sent none got answered then when I checked on the progress they were all closed! So I got no answers to any of them and I paid the 14.99 and bought a plan for 49.99 and I have no working phone it was working but then phone got stolen now no one at Global Mobile 1 can deactivate my number and transfer it to my replacement phone….I had the service for 6 days
from GM1 website
my first paste
pasted just important stuff in that Q&A
Q: Does Global Mobile1 have agreements with other carriers (i.e. AT&T, Verizon, etc.)
A: No. We have no agreements with any other service providers.
Fact from Dealer, and Mad as hell are the same person. if you have a plan on CDMA or GSM side please post if you are not on GV's Global mobile 1 service they claim as their own. if you have not bought a plan and are on verizon ,ATT,Tmobile, or Sprint . or any other provider than GM1 service then stop posting about service your are not using . such as ( I am on verizon and dialed *611, and verizon answered )NO Kidding!!
Page Plus uses Verizon Network, so if your on GM1 CDMA Plan and where to Dial #737 or Dial *611 and give your phone number it would recognize you as a customer. But Not any other provider.
if you are on Verizon and dial #737 you will get page plus but when you put in your number it would not recognize you as a customer.
Fact from dealer MAS,
I wonder if the Global Verge distributors fully understand they are building a boatload of other companies, and have no ownership in their own customer base?
I wonder how much GV is making compared to the distributors?
Those dirty Verizon people selling me Page Plus service…. Even funnier is how MAH also claims he did this from his activated phone meaning he is a GV rep. So, obviously it seems very likely he has another agenda or making an *** out of himself by assuming anything. My agenda is to find out if the GV opportunity will work fro me but getting to the facts seems almost impossible with all the non-sense being spewed as fact from the few. Would love your comments Troy. FYI-I fully understand 'If it seems that way it probably is' but then again with the Country going the way it is now…I need a good opportunity and am willing to dig a bit more before coming to a conclusion…. Thanks for all your work
GUEST DID you bother to put your phone in to verify your a verizon customer, it would have arried you over to more selcetion after verifying you number. if your are on a MVNO( PagePlus Cellular ) the one i'm claiming that Global Mobile 1 is using on CDMA Side.Page Plus uses verizon network. So when you dial *611 on GM1 phone on CDMA side it will tell you thank you for calling page plus. Please enter your number,and they are not 24 hour CSR service
That is what would happen if in fact GV reps on the CDMA side were capped at 20mbs as MAH claims. I dialed *611 and got 'Verizon'. I then dialed #737 and got 'Page Plus'. Funny thing is, I did this on my active 'Verizon' phone that as been active for the last 4 years with 'Verizon'. Thus, according to his logic, I bet Verizon is selling me Page Plus 40.00 plan capped at 20mbs and just billing me threw Verizon instead of Page Plus who's plan I'm clearly on since the results were the same when I dialed from my phone(Sarcasm).
#737 is a prompt to CSR at customer service for Page plus , if you are on Verizon then Page plus would have told you when they asked for Phone to verify account. Idiot. if you did not talk to anybody and asked the questions, i asked , then you would not know.Page plus uses Verizon's network Dumb*&@
I'm not going to assume he is or is not a dealer b/c assumptions just make ***'s out of ones self. BUT, it is very odd that a 'Claimed' wireless dealer or 'someone in the know' in the wireless industry is claiming that b/c he has dialed *611 and reached 'Verizon' and also dialed #737 and reached 'Page Plus' that that means GV is using Page Plus as their Tier 2 provider. And also claiming if in fact GV is using Page Plus, that they are selling their 40.00 unlimited talk text 20mb data as GV's 80.00 plan, that reps in the field with working phones such as 'Mad as Hell'/'Facts from a dealer' would not have already posted that their CDMA service stopped getting Internet after about the first day?
I don't see how people can claim with out a doubt that this was GV's intention to 'bait and switch' everybody yet I see these claims everywhere as fact and not as opinion and yet to see proof. Is it possible that with a bad track record of failure and mistakes in the past, that One can not learn from those mistakes and take that information and grow from it? Is it possible that GV might be better off with service at a competitive price from proven carriers than from Zer01's un-vet'd service? Is it possible that 'Mad as Hell' isn't a dealer and just copies and pastes everything he sees/reads on the Internet(that was for you MAH).
I am dealer and the stuff you talking about being pasted, was other people pasting my words written here. troy knows that. my stuff posted here first has been pasted everywhere now.
and I am a page plus dealer, so you can imagine my shocked when i dialed *611 and found out I just bought a plan on what i already sell for half the price .
@ Not Falling for It – Where do you see a $79.99 for only 20 mb??? Ours is Capped at 5 Gigs, which is clearly stated.
@ Facts from a Dealer – suppose you know more than the Engineers, right? Also, we said 'Carrier', not 'Provider'. There's a difference. That's 'dealer withnin a cell phone industry' 101
let me tell you something Excited , i am on the cdma phone and my phone was activated by Chris (activation King) iI was told I was on the 79.99 with %gigs, i immediately dialed *611 ,and i'm am told I'm with page plus cellular, and my plan is unlimited talk and text with 20 mb of data for 40.00, I told CSR I was with Global Mobile 1 and I had unlimited data(5gigs), she don't know any Global Mobile 1,
but you where activated by dealer in florida( activation King).
Exicted until you know more thatn i have forgot about the cell industry, just shut up.
GV does not have any special engineers setting up this system.
Quit spewing that propaganda your leaders are feeding you .
If you are in the cell biz, like me. you know with the eqp we use to flash phones. We can put are logo or script on phone when it boots up. That Does not make you a cellphone carrier. that just means you have tech saavy people flashing your phone with your name on them.
facts from dealer,
Thank you for this info. Great information for those of us who are still trying to figure all this out.
Your welcome Troy. i posted also as (mad as hell), but still a dealer within the cellphone industry knows this stuff. Most of these people in GV are don't have any knowledge of the industry, and Gv leaders are taking advantage of that lack of knowledge.
GV e-associates , have tunnel hearing , IT IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT I PAY NOW. AND I CAN MAKE A COMMISSION.
I welcome Activation King and Global Verge leaders to tell me I am wrong about being only a reseller of another prepaid cell product.
Ignorance is Bliss.
What makes us different? 1) We're legit, not just an internet based company. 2) We have actual stores 3) Our service is Solid – Not Certain cities or areas, but Nationwide 4) We offer BOTH CDMA AND GSM (that's never been done before!! 5) We have the strongest Coverage Map for GSM (stronger than the 2 Parent companies, separated) 6) All Associates have to be Certified and trained before we can sell to the public 7) We are our own Network CARRIER (NOT Provider – Yet).
We do have technologies that are ready now and will be released shortly that are going to shock the WORLD!!
It is funny to listen to someone telling us what a solid company Globalverge or what ever their name is this week. The WORLD was shocked how they scamed everyone with their BAIT and SWITCH all along. Globalverge is their own carrier. LOL.
Riddle me this.
have you dial (star) * 611 on your phone yet ?. if not then don't come here spewing propaganda, the the leaders are force feeding you . you are nothing more than a worker ant to them.
they are selling PAge Plus Cellular(pagepluscellular.com) service. Dial *611 and find out. if you can't get through(all lines are busy), just dial #737 for you balance or talk to a agent, (this is for CDMA side).Unlimited talk & text, and 20 MB of data, as their best plan for 80.00. saying it has unlimited talk +text +internet. for you all that don't know internet for all 4 majors carries have capped the data @ 5 GIG. even if it is prepaid,postpaid whatever. there is not a True Unlimited Data plan out yet. which is what GM1 was boasting about with Zer01. they are nothing more than a dealer under a master agent . this so called launch is nothing but the launch of a simple website to capture the info. that they process manually through activation king wireless(master agent) for CDMA side that I know so far. they are charging 80.00 for a plan Page Plus Cellular only charges 40.00 dollars for.
Nothing but a reseller, definitely not a CARRIER.
Prove me Wrong Global Verge.
