I tried the web address provided in text message and failed. Then I went to Qualcomm's site and struck out again. Guess I have to call Panther. Oh well.

That's it? Just another $2 a month? Surprises me they haven't figured out that they could make more money by charging you to call them. Oops... hope I didn't give them any ideas. :p

If that service gives you ONE more load than without it, something is wrong on Panther's side, which is an understatement to begin with. As far as I'm concerned, it wouldn't guarantee squat, other than another $2 is leaving my pocket. If they want to go around you, they will anyways.

Why does it have to cost a dime?

I mean that the messaging service should have been negotiated to be part of the contract between Panther and Qualcom.

Let me clarify the origin of my user name for ya' Colonel, sir. I have a cat. He is big. He has seven toes on each front foot. He thinks he owns me. He thinks I am his servant.

Dogs have masters.

Cats have staff.

Get it?


You can apologize just anytime now.

Greg, you're being silly - it costs money because this is America, and that's the capitalistic way! When you have a captive audience, take advantage of it! There's no free lunch, etc, etc, etc. :p

Ah. You are staff for A BIG seven toed cat. Splains it, thanks. I anticipated you being staff for the big kittys. Hence the play with the word.

As you state "RIDICULOUSNESS" than why are you standing up so tall for them? I stand by my private E Mail that you made public.

This company is babysitting you all. It is called MICROMANAGING. By not only charging one but at your expense in necessary REST. Does this not violate the decency of privacy at a reasonable hour? So stand tall there Seven Toed Kitty lover you got your seven toed cat with the twenty towed beeping Super Kitty to boot what a combination. My congrats to all three of you. How many toes is that?

People own dogs. Nobody 'owns' cats. The screen name is a play on cats 'owning' the people they live with and hence the people are the 'staff' working for the cat. It has nothing to do with any company, just the difference in pets.

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually

But, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness . .

No, JJ, I don't - I think I can guess, lol.
Although I guessed wrong on Nobb's post, thought the last line would be "Stay married!" :p

Wheel chock, now thats one I did not think of. Does that mean I could just pull out after loading/unloading. Kind of like a one time use.

Cat wheel chocks can be used 9 times before disposing of them.
