haha, i love it when they text me like crazy for the first month and then they get the bill. The last one was like “wait, you have a really nice phone, how do you have at&t and not verizon? i thought they were like, cricket and stuff” Sorry bitch, you’ve been pwned by $30 unlimited texting to anyone on a 5-line family plan. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > Ugh, speaking of sheep, thats the mentality that leads 90% of people around here that have it to verizon. Particularly girls. I’ve made a habit of asking people why they have it, and I get “because everyone else does” at least 10 times more than any other answer. Then they get jacked up after their first month of texting me because they all have that shitty M2M texting and they don’t realize I’m on AT&T and pay less than they do for much, much more 🙂 Just FYI, after just getting out of a meeting with AT&T, their prices are pretty much the same now. ---

Yeah, I’m on a legacy plan, i’ve had it since '02. 1000 rollover min, N&W, M2M for $39.99 + 4 9.99 add-a-lines, minus 15% discount and unlimited upgrades through premier from my old employer. Added unlimited familytalk texting for $30, a few months ago, and win. I’m surprised they let me add on additional $10 lines up to last summer without changing the plan, and still let me add/remove features without a problem. VZW would definitely be gay about that type of thing. ---

I used to fall under that “everyone has verizon” thing. I stayed on verizon a long time because of that. 90% of the people I talked to were Verizon. Now that all the companies offer unlimited texting to anyone on any network and higher minute plans, it became obsolete. ---

The ETF is $175 and goes down $5 a month until it reaches $110. > > 3. VzW’s $30 PDA plans are for unlimited email and internet browsing, the other carriers that “give” you data bundle it together with their text plans and it’s only about 10MB. Whoopdeedoo, try using e-mail/internet consistently with 10MB of bandwidth. i pay $30 a month for unlimited data. i use anywhere from 40-60mb per month, maybe more if it’s a busy month. i get unlimited data (internet, bb messenger, etc), and unlimited push email. or there’s an unlimited media net plan for $15 a month. both of these can also get unlimited texts for $10. so…how is verizon’s plan better? > 1. VzW’s data overage on non-PDA phones is only $1.99/MB. Compare that to Sprint and AT&T’s MB overage charges which are 5X+ that. since the unlimited plans aren’t that expensive why would anyone be going over? > 1. How do you think it would make sense for Verizon to ditch a multi-billion dollar CDMA network that supports more calls per channel, which is more superior in performance to GSM, btw, to switch to an inferior GSM network? Especially after we just won the 700mhz auction and our Broadband service is going to be fast as hell. because gsm is used internationally and cdma was dead technology as of 10 years ago in all the major player countries? it doesn’t really matter anyway, we’ll all be wCDMA or TDMA in the next 10 years anyway lol > 1. You think Verizon doesn’t have the “coolest” phones because you have/had Verizon. Every person I help out from another carrier always starts off by telling me how lame their current carriers phones are, and I know customers that leave Verizon do the same as well. It’s just part of human nature to want what you can’t have. sorry, verizon phones do suck. they get the “cool” phones at least a year behind everyone else. at&t was on their second versions of the pearl and curve before vzw got their first. i was on vzw for a long time and left because of crappy phones. i was tired of having boring aawful stuff when everyone else got new gadgets. plus the costs from verizon for any of their “good” phones is rediculous. the only phone that vzw is potentially getting that i might want is the bb thunder, but rumor is that it will have sim card capability, so i’ll just buy an unlocked one and put it on my at&t account. oh wow that’s another thing that vzw customers can’t do… ---

I just looked at my Verizon bills. There is a paragraph on the last page after all the minute details of the paper bill. My bill date was April 25th so I assume I have 60 days from there to opt out. ---

THIS DOES WORK!!! Took about an hour but worth it. I initially was told they would give me the 15 cents per line credit back but then i got the 175 fee down to the 115 then they even offered me 1/2 off that but I kept fighting. Stay strong and stick to the agreement. Had to speak to a supervisor and finally got them to disconnect my line. If you want to change your plan tho, you need the number active when you move tho so you don’t lose it. I just did this tonight and got out of the 115 dollar termination fee. Also ported my number to ATT this evening too. ---

Umm actually T-mobile rents ATT’s towers and if the tower is full and a t-mobile customer is in there and an ATT customer wants to connect, you get bumped. No biggie boxxa i understand how that goes.
