Verizon Wireless to Eliminate One-Year Contracts
Really?
Man all you guys nerd raging really is silly, i havent known anyone to sign up for a one year in probably three years, its such an under used part of their policy the tab for it probably has thick sheets of dust on it.
Also, hasen't anyone considered that this might be the first in the eventual move to non contract completely? (This is a book, I'm so sorry)
If you look at it properly:
1. Many phones are lower in price and no longer carry the mail in rebates as all the old phones used to.
2. A huge shift in the US base as a consumer has shifted to much more smartphones, which turns us into a market more like europe/asia as far as device purchase/service needs.
3. Despite Apple's ridiculous testicle hold and price gouging on Ver...

The only reason nobody subscribed to one year contracts, is because of the new every two, which vzw has now eliminated in addition to the elimination of the 1 year contract. They have also no more 1 year early upgrades, no more 30 day return policy. It's been reduced to 14 days.
Bottom line is vzw has taken away most of the perks they gave to loyao customers and they are also starting that testicle hold (that apple already has)which you referred to. It's like cablevision. Once you get big, you don't give a **** about the customers that made you big.

Most aren't going anywhere. Most customers are two myopic to see the advantage of a one year contract. I tried for years to talk them up in the Verizon forum. Bottom line...people just see the upfront cost.

The Kool Aid must be spiked. Get Verizon's *Bleep* out of your mouth. For real. The only carrier whose customers are less satisfied with their carrier choice is AT&T and even then the margin is small. T-Mobile ties Verizon in customer satisfaction and Sprint recently has tied them as well. Forget about U.S. Cellular beating them where they compete head to head. Don't believe the hype. It's just hype. People aren't at other carriers pining to go to Verizon. They have the service that works for them just as we have the service which works for us.
