😕 one other thing I never understood about Verizon, is not only do they come out with there phones late but they always come out with plans or promotion months after there competition has. Here in NJ almost every other company has had the mobile to mobile free for at least 6 month, VZW just started it about 1 1/2 month ago. I mean I know Verizon has a very good network, but I am starting to wonder not about the network but about the advertising and promotion teams. Are they really intouch with what is going on with there competition? or being that they are the biggest are they getting ****y and saying they dont have to do the same thing others do and people will still pay

But if I remember correctly, VZW was giving us 5,000 M2M minutes/month. The new In-Network calling may be a better advertising/promotional vehicle, but for just about all customers, I don't think it makes a difference. How many people spend more than 5000min/month talking to other Verizon customers? I'm sincerely hoping - almost no one.

I watch this web site, stop into a store once or twice a month. Watch my monthly invoice for billing errors, because they can on occasion be excessive especially if you travel. But as far as the unlimited minutes between two Verizon Customers, this has been out there for months? It's not weeks old? Also realize this company does not have some of the problems other carriers have. Verizon does not force it's network or the technology of the phones to the market place prematurely. When they are ready and everything works, they launch. This results in you and I not having to go back for or it minimized software upgrades, fixes, recalls, or other technical support. A example of a carrier that one experiences these glitches is Sprint and a phone ...

Actually, Verizon and AT&T Wireless were the first on the market with unlimited m2m for free. Yes, Verizon is not the most economic service around, but you get what you pay for as they say. For over more, you usually get more. Not to say other companies have shoddy service (like the VZW zombies will drone on about), but Verizon does boast the phattest network in the U.S. 🙂
