Verizon Wireless Early Termination

Yeah I was kind of surprised to see that on my last bill, it was rather lame.

Yea it was quite a shock since I push a hell of a lot of data through my phone. Nice getting hit with a $26 in data charges.

@evolve

this would only go into effect if YOU changed your plan after they came out with the new plans. Also, new data plans are $30/month if you dont need enterprise service. and if you do, well, work should be paying for it.

Yea I had to change my plan when someone on the plan wanted to update their phone which is bullshit in itself. You should be able to keep the current plan you are on if you are staying a customer IMO. Not be like, “Oh hai verizon, i want to pay you for an already overpriced phone but seriously, change my plan because this saving money and being happy with mine is over rated”. Also, $30/month on top of a calling plan is a rip off when providers out there provide it for free on their $30/month voice plans.

if you are going to have 2 numbers, enjoy swaping SIM cards each time you want to use the other number. Having 2 numbers on CDMA is still a pain, but not as much once the 2nd NAM is programmed. then its just a matter of choosing NAM 1 or 2.

Since my company is going to AT&T, I am leaning towards carrying one phone with my personal number and using it for work so swapping SIM cards wouldn’t be an issue. With either provider, I need to see calls coming on on both numbers so simply swapping SIM or NAM modes would not be acceptable since I would not get calls on the second number while I am on the first one.

Actually it’s been a few times where somehow they left a feature off of my account, and I got extremely high bills. Even though I was clearly not in the wrong, it took forever for them to change the mistake, and getting talked down to by people on the phone != good customer service. I certainly did not like the answers I was getting from them when they should have been righting their wrongs.

I’ve seen the phones they offer. But it seems like even with 2 year rebates, they are still a shit load more expensive than GSM phones and you don’t have the ease of switching phones whenever you want. i.e. the BJ2 that you can get for $70 on a new 2-year contract through AT&T.

And why the picard at the GSM comment? Cingular did it? Why can’t the best company ever OMG AMAZING do it?

I understand that for you it’s more of a natural reaction to defend them, I’m just offering my honest opinion. Not making shit up.

Do you hear alot of complaints about AT&T’s customer service? (seriously asking here)

I agree with the features. I hate having to check my plan over and over again when I change something. So many times the incompetent assholes have taken the feature off the wrong number or added it to another line. I finally started recording the calls after I received a $224 texting bill when they told me it was on but wasn’t. Seriously, someone can run up data until the threshold and then get letters telling you to stop but when someone is constantly texting and racing up hundreds of dollars on a $30/month calling plan, they wouldn’t think to ask?
