mycool said:
Anyone know when 3Q is due to end? Also, any good guesses as to when numbers for 3Q will be posted?
do you have stock in Verizon? Thats the only reason I see why you should intereste din this info. If you just want the info to get off on something is wrong with u
Besides, we won't be able to avoid the numbers even if we wanted to... nextel18 will see to that.
As to Nextel 18.. well check this one out. I was shopping at the local B. Dalton bookstore yesterday and they offered me to sign up with my email for coupons and things. Well I didn't but I briefly scanned those that did signup. Amazingly there was a Nextel18@(omitted).com email address. Makes me wonder if that is our Nextel 18. And if his name is Adam. 😛
Here is what you posted on 3Q numbers the other day. Can't believe you forgot!! 😁

Seriously though I feel that VZW and Cingular will have a pretty even net add quarter. Mosty likely VZW will be higher in adds but by how much I cannot say. I feel that Cingular will still have higher churn rates. Their AT&T migrations are still having problems and that will cost them in the long run. Example: Signal loss from AT&T to Cing when migrated.
This is just my speculation based upon the customers I talk to, the amount of business I see at the Cingular store and my own personal store.
Also, I love when someone comes in with a Cingular phone that they signed up for WITHOUT deposit, but VZW wanted a 400.00 deposit. I had someone come in and state that Cingular approved them...VZW wants a deposit...etc. I call to see if there might have been a mistake on the credit pull and the rep says something to the nature of, "Well, since they have a charge off account here...there...everywhere..." Oh, but yet Cingular will sign them up without a deposit...too risky. My churn rate on Nextel has went up considerably since they lowered the high deposit from 500 to 100.00. You go after people that have demonstrated they don't pay their ...

Yeah, Merrill Lynch's projections are just brutal. Verizon is allegedly gonna do 1.95 million net adds now, and Cingular is slated for only 900k, with Sprint-Nextel in similar territory. If you're a VZW competitor... yikes 😳
I personally don't think it'll be quite THAT bad for Cingy and Sprextel, but there should be a pretty large gulf in net adds between VZW and everybody else.
Funny how quick we went from the Cingy/ATTW merger hype to VZW pretty much owning everybody. I'm a VZW fan, sure, but its getting to the poi...

The best phones come out in Q4 (as well as the best prices), so the sooner Q4 comes the better.
Also, I like seeing how everyone did, is that so bad?
