5 Favs, My Circle....When R We gonna Match the Comp?
Anyone have an opinion on this? I know we always have an answer to whatever our competitors throw out there. I haven't heard or trully pondered on what our response to these new promotions could be. At this point I am sure if we offered even the smallest version of this we would knock the rest out the water....
...
There is no need to trade 57 million In Network for 5 to 10 people In Network calling.
...
i know it may not be the best idea but what if u had ur normal plan right? unlimited vz to vz but for another 10-20 bucks a month u could call 5 ppl off the network. i know it may not be the best idea but im only 16 lol
...
You would have a need for peak mins then? VZW In and plus 5 to 10 of your choice. There is no point to copying the competion, VZW does not want to be like other companies to kill them off with things like roll over, nights at 7pm, or My Fav/Circle because as soon as they have 51% of the market the Government would come in and break them up as a monopoly. They want to be big, but not too big that there is no competition. So these variations in plan/companies are a good thing.

I dont think it has anything to do with becoming too big, more like they do not have to do it. VZW with its current plans still sign up more customers per quarter than any other carrier. When you are a industry leade...

If it isn't broke don't fix it arugment use to work in the past, most companies upper management these days think that if it isn't broke, we have to find ways to fix it anyways, because its probably broke with out us knowing it. Verizon has very good marketing strategies, which has more to do with their numbers than their network, because as you guys say, "none of my customers know use bluetooth", then do you think they have the slightest idea in what CDMA or GSM is? This numbers argument is sad, especially when one instance your customers are stupid when it comes to bluetooth or UI, but then they are smart enough to comprehend the network? And also does net gains count lines that were added, or plans that were added? because a lot of fa...

I don't foresee VZW falling anytime soon and yep probably will pass Cingular when the end of the year numbers came out.. Takes more than "marketing" for a company to remain strong, marketing doesnt get a company anywhere if it can't produce.. So, yep the plans are higher but the MAJORITY of people are more concerned with being able to make/receive calls than all the extra frills, therefore in most areas there is not a company out there that can surpass them plus alot of money goes into building more cell sites, etc. If your friend has that high of bills with 1 phone, sounds to me like they need to be alittle more responsible and get on a better plan or quit talking so much! 🙂
...
they should change the night minutes though...move it back by an hour...or enhance the calling plans by 50 or 100 minutes
...
that is the dumbest paragraph I have ever read. We are all now a little less intenlligent for reading it.
...
Its actually 5-10 people on ANY network.. INCLUDING LANDLINES... UNLIMITED... its actualy a GREAT DEAL and VZW would certainly do well with this...
...
No No with T-mobile you can still add the unl mobile to mobile for 6.99 month and you get 5 people to call unl whether it is a landline or another cell phone service provider but Verizon is way to greedy to offer something like this. Plus you get great rates and still a great amount of regular min on the plans.
...
we dont have to match the competition.
we offer unlimited in calling to 55 million retail vzw customers on the best network with the best customer care in the industry.

Why does it never fail that anytime someone is actually presenting arguments and counterarguments, that someone has to go in and ruin it by saying "we dont have to match the competition.
we offer unlimited in calling to 55 million retail vzw customers on the best network with the best customer care in the industry."
What if you are not calling someone who has Verizon? Its not like you have the most economically sound plans for individuals, for family plans yes, but not individuals, and especially not for Data.

thats what your anytime minutes are for.
get your friends to switch to verizon if its an issue or switch to the carrier with your friends.

Yes but Verizon doesn't have the most economical plans for individuals. 60 bucks won't give you 1000 minutes, its not like they can't afford it. And you pretty much have to have a 59.99 plan on or higher to get good deals on phones, and I text a lot since most of my friends are in different time zones and on different schedules, so unlimited text would be bad arse, I have a friend who seriously can text more than what Verizon will allow him on a plan lol. He racks up several hundred dollar in cell phone bills each month. But he is switching over from Verizon to somewhere else when his contract is up.

one day verizon will wake up and say damn what happened we were number one.

I agree I'm porting to Sprint after work, verizon is just to retarded.

That day already came when Cingular bought AT&T Wireless. Cingular is now the largest carrier because of their number of customers.

Incorrect. Price plan does not matter.
...
Oh, so you can upgrade before NE2 with a plan lower than 59.99, and if so why wasn't I aware of any of it while I had the 59.99 plan?
Could you answer that one for me please?

You are complaining in your post about getting good deals on phones but have to be on the $59.99 plan then on your reply you talk about early upgrade or "annual" upgrade...2 completely different issues! NE2 is a great benefit, if you choose to use it, as well as annual upgrade, but it does give the customer the choice.
I know you despise VZW, but at least be factual.

I swear to God that you people don't understand this stuff. It's business. Verizon doesn't need to offer that crap because their network (you know, actual wireless phone service that we originally bought cell phones for) is way better than the competition. We don't need to offer early nights and weekends. We don't need to offer Rollover. We don't need to offer 5 Favorites. We don't need to offer 10 Favorites.
Something you must understand is that these other wirelss companies are offering these awesome deals to compensate for their less than stellar service. Make sense?

I agree, it's a card trick.... Look what we got over for what we don't got over here. A distraction. We got Unlimited Text Message for ya, because our voice network is bad and text is cheaper to maintain. We give you 5 or 10 people to talk to because no one you know is on our network.
...
ok, so you guys are over rating yourself. Other services get if not equal or same service as you (depending on where you are at) and there is no need to over price customers and not offer them any good rates. You have you longtime customers stuck on your idea of you pay for what you get and you guys provide quality "network service", I can't believe that consumers actually buy into that. so sad... 😢
...
I know far more people than 5 with Verizon so I would rather keep my in-calling
...
everyone is not on your network. Your network why great is not godlike. Get over yourselves. You have 55 million well what about the 58 million at cingular. Or the 28 million on sprint. or the 14 million on tmobile. Until you have all of them don't tell me you don't have to consider off network calling cuz you have everyone!!! And to all the ones that say they will keep your in calling. Alltel and Tmobile have not lost there in calling just added 10 off network and 5 off network respectively. And Data is the future. Yes right now today it is not the biggest issue with cell phone users. But then again when the internet first started people were estatic with dial up. It changes with time and if verizon doesn't change with time then they wil...

I hate it when I don't get a wise remark from you verizon people. Maybe I actually got you speechless. I doubt that though.

Like I said, Verizon doesn't need these little perks. The service is what my people sign up for. You customers that ask "Why doesn't Verizon have that 5 Favs or 10 Favs or early nights?" are few and far between. You should go on strike. Fo Sho.
Ho.
HO HO Merry Christmas!
...
? I could care less about that crap, I personally call way more than 5 Verizon customers, I am assuming you didn't mean to post that on my response, if so then that is why you got no response because it had no relevance to my post?
...
are you saying that you wouldn't want the my faves or my circle on verizon?
...
of course that is what he is saying he has the best network with 55 milliion people to talk to jeez don't you know verizon is god and its only a matter of time before everyone sees that and switches. NOT.
...
i went from using 450 minutes a month to 67 minutes, so the myfaves is a big plus for me!
...
I am on T-Mobile To-Go and I like that a lot. It is nice that my minutes last a whole year. I use 67 minutes in like two months!
...
That's because everyone you talk to is on another carrier. 🙂 Plain and simple reason why Tmobile and Altel have circle programs etc, they have a customer base that is 1/2 the size of say VZW or Cingular and fact is most people use another service provider.
Good business concept though...attract all the cheap people that cost the company $30 a month to maintain, the customer has a $35 calling plan, call their customer service once every other month, and the company is loosing money on these type of customers.

lol everyone you talk to is on vzw? wow that is truely amazing
again you wouldn't pay 10 dollars a month to talk to your Grandmother who doesn't have a cell phone because she is scared of them??? or with your aunt in a small town that isn't covered by VZW...and paying that 10 dollars a month could end up saving you money...no matter how big your network base is you can't say you don't talk to anyone not on your network..and if its true then you should already be on a 30 dollar rate plan with m to m free because you don't need any daytime minutes

Verizon Wireless won't do that because they are doing well as they are. VZW is growing and satisfing there customers so there is no reason to change.
