New VZW Promotions?

KLFloyd

Aug 2, 2004, 8:03 AM
I read on this forum a few weeks back that today, August 2nd, was the day when Verizon ended one promotional period and began another. I just checked out the website and can't see that anything has changed.

Just curious to know if anything new has happened or if we're going to stick with the same promotions and features for a while longer.

Thanks!

I have not heard of any new promotions as of yet. As far as I know we are still using the May promotions.

Are you kidding? Verizon does not need to implement promotions! They just signed 1.2 million new lemmings without them despite their Limp extended network and now a BT phone finally that seems to be clipped by Verizon so as not to be able to move pics and ringtones from a PC....Verizon does not HAVE to use promotions or do much in support of their lemming's needs phonewise. They get them anyway!

And to think there was a time I was thinking of becoming a Verizon lemming as well, waiting for their BT offering.

Its no wonder why Motorola and the other biggies do not make a lot of phones for Verizon. It gives them a bad name. There are lemmings who believe it's Motorola's fault the BT seems to be of limited use on the V710.

The Anti Frog is not a frog at all....

Just another Verizon lemming who has issues with truth and reasonable assumption like all Verizon Lemmings.

Well if I can get someone to even look at options in carriers and their latest network coverage, phones, and prices. It may be of great service to remind them Verizon has no incentive to offer great promotions, phones,prices etc.

The "new" V710 is an example of Verizon arrogance wth the clipped BT. forcing GIN use...Is that Verizon working for ya...you bet it is!

You came to this forum to help you in making your decision on which service to choose. You have made your choice and are here for what reason?

The Cingular reps had you pegged perfectly. You are a troll trying to stir up something with the people on this board.

Join in and not respond that is...in multiple posts he has said that he a lot of time on his hands and with that he finds something new every month...by not fighting and arguing with him we're hoping that he will lose interest in his pointless ramblings, and go find something better to do, in Vegas, no doubt(I can find a lot better things to do in Vegas than to sit in front of my computer all day long)...with nobody to fight with he won't have any fun and get bored... 😁

Pointless ramblings:

1. Verizons BT entry is crimped not to allow data and pic transfer through BT.Verizon still has no flexibility and choice in hones....whos surprised?

2. Cingulars version of GIN covers their WHOLE network, not a small patchwork where you have to check your phone before making a call...pointless rambling, I know

3. JD Powers #1 Cust Care belongs to T Mobile.....ouch Verizon, that was such a huge selling point...T MOBILE beat you out...T Mobile!

I could go on but alas:

Yes I know these are pointless if you are a verizon lemming following the herd. But if you have some time and can read, I would think it would be to your benefit to find some pointless facts out on your own as well. I may be a rambling mand bu...

This is a service to those considering Verizon to make sure they do their homework before settling for paying more for less because they believe the hype over the facts.

Cingular reps can say what they want about me.They want to keep the peace and all being in the same business, the lovefest going.

That aside Cingular service and reliability is great, the prices are great and the coverage is very very close to Verizons and exceeds Verizon in digital services. Thats fine if they call me a , what is that? Troll? Nice. As you all know by now...I find the name calling cute and am not offended in the least, although your imaginations need some work!

I have no issue, as you know, with stirring the Verizon pot, especially if there is ...

There are some new reginal offers that were spose to expire this month that were extended to 11/1 that were for NoCal, SoCal, and HI.

New plans for HI, las Vegas, and El paso that are goign through 8/31

and a new plan for MT, and S.ID going through 9/30

also for the big news, effective Aug 9th ALL lines in family shares will have IN-network calling, they are droping that stupid additional $10 charge on all national and local family share plans. These are new plans I don't know if they are going to change everyone automaticly or if it must be requested. You may want to call in if you currently on the last Plan group that didn't have this.

Also launching Aug 9th, they are expanding mexico roaming area, so if you have a North ameri...
