I always get a laugh from geeks who talks like such badass's in anonymous internet forums.

I see by your posts that you just sit back till you see something you don't like, then start name-calling, but never add much constructive to the forum. Even DKVZW has many nuggets of brilliance if you can wade through his rambling, but you are just a worthless loudmouth.

The vast majority of VZW reps on this forum are great and helpful folks. Unfortunately you give a bad name to all of them.

I know you wouldn't have the stones to call someone a moron to their face.

Look up the definition of the forum. Aren't you confusing it with a chat-room? I barely speak here too. But when one does speak up - please respect it, even if you disagree.

-Kvazzz

Didn't you actually start the name-calling by sayin' anyone that cared about the results was 'abnormal'? 😕

C'mon now, both y'all should chill.

Hey Shock!!!

My original post was meant to be tongue-in-cheek and definitely not meant to offend any of the good folks on this forum such as yourself. I hope it didn’t. However, please don’t compare me to pimple as I didn’t start calling people stupid or moron.

In any case I’ll take your advice and chill. I don’t plan on getting in a running flame war.

Thanx!

No prob. And I hear ya, you didn't go so far's to call people stupid/moron, which is a point in your favor. Peace. 🙂

Whatever you say little one. I will definitely tell anyone to there face what I think of them responding to an important t...

No one can make an accurate judgement until Verizon releases the actual results.

but we can assume it will be great becuase of its past results and its mix of subscribers.

I'm honestly not sure what's goin' on there, guns. I'm hopin' that someone who's really into the numbers, like nextel18, can can come back wit' some further 411 on the matter.

An' yeah, Cing did have to restate some numbers a few months ago, 'cus their customer counts were inaccurate an' on the high side by like 150,000 customers or something. That was more like a total # of subscribers thing than a net adds thing, though.

cingular only had 636,000 subscribers directly the rest were from resale and prepaid.

hope that helps.

Were VZW's 2 mil all post paid? What are the numbers on that? If these numbers are right, then 4 quarter was a spank you very much good quater for VZW...

well i dont exactly know if those are 2 million under net direct subscribers, becuase they havent released the numbers in detail but will on june 26th.

i think they will get 1.95 million direct net adds and the rest being prepaid and wholesale/resale.

retail or postpaid are about 95 percent of their net adds.

I am hoping that is supposed to be JANUARY 26th not june.

did i say june? lol woops it is january 26th. i am thinking about june for the fcc auction..

Let me ask you something Nextel18.

By 680K direct:do you mean sold at (cingular owned) or (cingular owned and authorized retailers)?

direct= usually has to deal with cingular and cingular owned (but not affiliates)

resellers and wholesale= usually companies who are affiliates and things of that nature.

hope that helps..

I guess i am still a little confused. So what would radio shack be considered for Cingular, now. Obviously they were nothing last Quarter.

radio shack is nothing regardless lol.. they keep saying that the wireless industry is in trouble... radio shack usually tends to be towards wholesale but sometimes you count them as direct adds. it depends what channel and throw cingular on the label of if its a direct or indirect.

Great math. 😳 🙄

You claim to be a numbers guy but you can't even get 95% of 2 million right. It would be 1.9 million are direct if your percentage is right. 1.95 Million would represent 97.5% of their total net ads.

Hope this helps. 😁

am sure those numbers are right

verizon actually doesnt gain many prepaid subscribers sometimes they actually has losses in subscriber adds. (or lack there of)

I wish they would go ahead an buy out Cellular One and Alltell and get this numbers game over with once and for all. 😉

i dont think the FCC and other regulators would allow them too becuase they are just under the spectrum cap and in many markets just grazing that cap also. so any merger or buyout by verizon wireless will make many divestitures which wouldnt be wise for them.

it is a good idea, but again the regulators wouldnt allow it.
