Can't Get Ding! Can Someone Watch For Me?

[miatamel]

I live in a rural area of a rural state and am on sloooooow dialup. Hence, I can't get DING! and don't know anyone around me that can. Would someone on here mind watching for my DING! fares? I expect them to start anyday. We were trying to go NW for our Disney cruise but am hesitant due to the possibility of striking and all that. I've never flown SW, but with a savings of almost $400 over current NW rates, thougth I'd give it a go, even if it means driving to Tampa to get home. (Can't get MCO-BHM, only flight is at 8:00 am and we're not off the boat yet)
So, these are my airports and dates if someone would PRETTY PLEASE let me know if they ding! in the next days!
11/10 Birmingham, AL to Orlando, FL
11/18 Tampa, FL to Birmingham, AL

Check the history of Dings thread. People post new dings as they come up.

Be happy to watch it for you, but, if there is a ding and you cannot get ding it is not going to help you, cause you cannot make these reservations over the phone.
I had a very slow dial up and was still able to get ding. Not sure why you cannot.

Really??! I'm on an Apple and had to send it for a tuneup and told them to put DING! on there for me while they had it (it wouldn't go in my dock) and they said it was some kind of specialized program and since it had to be on all the time it wouldn't work with dial-up! Yet you were able to get it! And I had absolutely no idea I couldn't reserve it without it but now that you say that it makes absolutely perfect sense. Oh well. Thanks for trying (and the help!!) I was trying to avoid flying NW (with the threat of strike) at a cost of $1200 at all costs!!

Not sure about the Apple, but, it works just fine with a PC on dial up. I would imagine that "specialized" program would work just fine with your dialup.
When you get it back,just install it and try. BTW, I am on DSL and I am not on all the time. Have had some issues with people trying to gain access to my DSL and I shut it off when I am not on, and guess what? My Ding works just fine. Good luck.
