A) nobody is raising anything 30%. You can keep your current plan and simply be capped at 2 gb but still get a subsidized phone.
B) they may all be at the miffed stage but Verizon knows exactly how many people will leave and I'd bet it wont be many.
C) I've lost very few clients in 15 years....LOL.
D) you get what you pay for. If you want the bargain basement deal in any industry, you understand that you get inferior product or service.
I believe the new plan structure just initiated by Verizon will be the turning point for their customer base. Many people on this and many other forums are highly angered by their new plans and thier totally arrogant take it or leave it business attitude. At least in my case, a point has been reached where I have seen enough of price increases (by large percentages), fees tacked on there and there, elimination of customer loyalty incentives, and plans just shoved down your throat with total disregard. Granted this is free enterprise, but also corporate greed at its finest. I certainly would not ever renew a contract with a company like this and their attitude and money gouging practices. Heck, there was certainly nothing wrong at all with a land line. Moreover, there are certainly plenty of pre-paid cellular plans available to prevent one from getting screwed over to this magnitude. Also, there are other choices such as cheap home voip devices, skype, and much more.
Hey thanks for the Link AZSALUK The only thing that i was Wondering are they going to be Nation Wide Were you Go... They Go! No matter were. in the Lower 48 an Alaska, Hawaii , San Juan..
It is definitely corporate greed, but I believe they know what they are doing. They know they have the best service and we will pay for it. Everyone was outraged and "going to leave" a year ago when they discontinued unlimited data on any mew plans......and all they did was grow even larger.
For the record, if you only have a single line, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SWITCH TO THESE PLANS!! AGAIN, SINGLE LINE MEANS NO SHARE PLAN!! Who would you be sharing with? lol
yet the share plans are cheaper than the $30 for a measly 2GB

I'm not saying that the decision to purchase Voicestream was a good decision. I think that the purchase price was way too high for 6 million customers at the time. Likewise, AT&T's offer of $39 billion was too high, too. My point was where the debt was and the true financial position of T-Mobile USA.
That's false. You have to consider debt from the start. This is how small business fails as they think they already have profit when they don't. You only have true profit once you pay back what you initially spent and have overhead. 39B is fair price when you consider licenses, towers, buildings and such. This saves time and could have helped AT&T over all and draw in new customers where they could potentially draw more than their 39B investment.
This is different than Sprint Nextel where the technology is completely different. A simple firmware upgrade would be for AT&T vs. Sprint trying to convert the towers to a new technology.
tidbits remember what i said about the 687GB?

Remember what I said? That's BS... Reason being... He is TETHERING. He modified the OS so he could tether with it, and he is tethering. You can take that to the bank... He is one of those who will do that. That's why I said it is false that HE could do it with just an iPad.

maybe years ago this might have been true but not today lets look @ AT&T right now i can pay the same $120 i'm paying to Verizon and get 3GB of data compared to the 2GB Verizon is going to try to force on me if i upgrade (unless i get the 6GB shared data tier plan) so not counting the tiered data plan.... with AT&T I get 1GB MORE than I would with Verizon's 2GB but then I would also get 75% MORE dropped calls/signal loss as well cause in my area AT&T's coverage sucks so in this case I'd be paying the same price and getting LESS coverage than i get with Verizon so apparently you don't get what you pay for
Also this maybe true with products for example i'd get a better computer if I paid $500 compared to 1 I paid $50-$100 for so in this case yes you do get what you paid for but when it comes to cell phone/communication companies that "you get what you pay for" really doesn't apply
also even with Verizon the coverage/signal isn't what it used to be when i signed up for Verizon back in Dec of 09 the coverage was amazing i had 3-4 bars (out of 4) bars all the time for the first 22 months then all of a sudden if there came a big rain i would have no service whats so ever when i did have service i still had 0 or 1 bar I had called tech support and they told me it was cause of the fact that my house was down in a dip so to speak which makes no sense because if that was the case then i would have been having issues the whole 22 months i didn't have a problem so then when it did it again i called tech support again and this time they did run some tests and updated the backbone on the tower which helped for a short time but it's back to going down to 1 or 2 bars when it rains tho it doesn't cut off or lose signal completely but still
now there is really only 2 fixes for this
1) Verizon has to update or fix the towers find out where the real problem is which would cost them some money tho it's there job to do to keep services up and running correctly or
2) I get 1 of those Network Extenders which would cost ME $250 which is not my job to pay $ to make there services better it's my job to pay for the service I have which I do
but overall i am more satisfied with Verizons coverage/signal than i am any other company
