> [@evolve](#): > > I will admit, some people use this. Seasonal workers and the like. From my ~5 years in the industry, most people use the same amount of minutes from month to month. Things that change this? New gf/bf was always the biggest reason. Again, change the plan as you need it, if you are increasing the MRC you can backdate. I was climbing with verizon one month and wanted to go up to the next level of a plan before I went over and they told me I can not go back down for like 3 months after I changed. ATT I dont think lets me either but having the rollover is nice to boost up the pool for heavy months. > [@evolve](#): > > omg, are you paying for data? WTF ATT!? how come they force you into that plan? OMG! Not quite sure what that means. I am saying I am fine paying $30 for data. I just rather pay for full data such as the exierence i get on my iPhone (or similar phone that can provide a full web browser) than a watered down version of the web crammed into a 1.5" screen in one column for the same price. > [@evolve](#): > > I work on a national level now, and will be the first to say that no carrier is perfect with coverage. > > Everyone has their personal preferences / beliefs on local coverage. I agree. Some people hit dead spots all the time with Verizon, ATT, TMobile, etc. Its just where you live, travel, and preference. ATT just works for me really well any place I have gone so far. > [@evolve](#): > > Wait, did you just state this as a reason for changing, then go on to say yours won’t do this? > > (Backup assistant is available on VZW for free as long as you have an account @ [verizonwireless.com](http://verizonwireless.com)) > > International traveler program - FREE global phone from VZW for trips lasting 21 days or less.

Roaming is fine, just like being able to use my own phone. > [@evolve](#): > > All large companies communicate via email. Ya i understand that initially but when a department is supposed to do something and its been a few days longer than the time frame, I would expect the ability to make a phone call to get the status of something, not send an email continually. They did make it right tho so its ok. > [@evolve](#): > > I hope you either are missing a zero on there or meant to say month. 6k/year is nothing. I do ~4k/month. I’ve personally seen a bill with 19,232 for one month. > > $20 unlimited texting to anyone is the going rate. pay to play. Ya. I meant per month. I hit 6k too 10k so I dont mind unlimited and the $20. Just liked having it included with Verizon. > [@THE \*\*iPhone\*\* Thread (GPS, JailBreak, Apps, Etc)](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-iphone-thread-gps-jailbreak-apps-etc/52832/11): > > Yeah, Shazam on the iPhone is free to download and free to use.

If you have an iPhone get it. /story. 🙂 It is a cool app. The YouTube integration is my favorite. You can hear a clip in a movie and get the full song on youtube to confirm. Just like when I got the songId on my verizon phone, its fun to try to stump. Even some random techno songs it picks up. The greatest is in movies and shows you can pick up the songs over the talking in the movie pretty well. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/omg-official-iphone-thread/52737)._
