If Verizon is SO confident in their service....
then why make us sign a contract at all? I mean the phone company (land line) doesn't make me sign a contract....hhmmmmm 🙄
...
🤨 No carrier ever MAKES you sign a contract. Hence the option of prepaid plans. 🙄
...
exactly....they make us sign a contract because they know the service isn't guaranteed but they want to be guaranteed to get paid...seems fair 🙄
...
wouldn't be bad if they sold phones that work...do they think we enjoy coming into the verizon store? i freaking dread it....would rather go see my dentist
...
Exactly what? What did you just agree to?
Anyhow, no one makes you sign anything. I just can't imagine a sales person knocking you unconcious, holding a pen in your hand and signing a contract on your behalf.
You are a consumer. You buy services. Verizon is a company. They have business policies. You have other companies to choose from as a consumer. If VZW's policies are not to your liking, then as a consumer, you have the freedom not to choose them. However, since VZW didn't invent the cellular contract, and seeing ho every other carrier practices this "rediculous" policy, hope yu find one that fits your needs.
Don't argue, just sign it if you want the service... its as simple as that.

Well in all honesty we are getting relatively screwed compared to what people pay for phone service
Just look at how much people pay for Vodafone in the UK,and Vodafone owns 45% of Verizon. And Cingular charges out the arse too. Its not just Verizon, though, T-Mobile has good deals.

i would LOVE to go to a new carrier..verizon phones are boring...sprint works well i hear....unless u travel deep into the woods or something....might go with them....the blade looks sweet

I can tell you have never traveled to Europe.
The US actually pays on average far less for cell phone service. Its one of the reasons why throughout the world SMS is so popular.
Here is a link... again do some research before you post.

Also, look at how much the phones themselves are. And there is a contract there as well.
Pwned as my daughter would say.

But phones are not the service. Unless you want to move to the Isle of Man, which has THE best cell coverage in the world, there are going to be disparities in service.
It doesn't matter if you are using DT (T-Mo here), 3, Voda, Orange, etc.
And just for reference, how long do you think Americans would pay £35.00 for 500 minutes????
Thats about $56.00 a month. It doesn't include nights or weekends, it doesn't include "IN" calling, it doesn't include anything except for 100 SMS/Text Messages. And if you look there is no cell company in basically the rest of the world that offers "National" calling. This is strictly a North America thing.
And thats cool that you've been to a country I called home for 27 years. Problem is is y...

Could this argument be weaker???
This same statement could be made to Cingular with their "All-Over Network" with the "Fewest Dropped Calls" or Sprint/Nextel, or any other carrier.
You can also single out Magazine subscription services, Satellite dish services, PMI (for the kids on here its Private Mortgage Insurance), or any other subscription based service.
Try again kid.

Although I agree with your statements, there's no need to call anyone a kid.

i agree.... these cell phone reps act like they own the company....why do they defend it so much....lol 🙄
...
Not an indirect rep anymore... Corp Customer Service Call Center now...
...
T-mobile used to do a program called talk or walk. They had a 6 month trial period and if you remained with them them you signed another 6 month contract at the end of it. Closest thing to a non-contract available.

See, this is why I don't visit these forums anymore. Just a bunch of whiny, unproductive comments from people with entitlement complexes. If Engadget had decent forums and a better structure, I'd never come back here searching for interesting comments (which has become as tedious as pulling teeth, btw). But hell, even those seem to be gone, too.
God, get over yourself.

Verizon Wireless discounts new phones when you agree to a service agreement. In order for them to discount the phone they have to know that you will be with them for a certain amount of time.
