Verizon is to expensive
With sprint 130 bucks buys you a 2 person 1500 minute family plan, which include nights at 7 pm, unlimited txt, unlimited data (including bb bis) and GPS, and TV!!!
verizon just cost a ridiculous amount of money and provides know better service than sprint.
Verizon family plan for two
1400 mins 90 bucks
unlimited txt 30 bucks
two bb bis data 60 bucks
GPSx2 20 bucks
200 bucks with verizon 😳 😳
what up verizon? 🙄

If Verizon provides no better service than Sprint, than please explain to me why my father and I (both w/ VZW) have signal where my mother and sister (both w/ Sprint) can't.
...
Simple, there's no coverage in the area, or their phones are probably a Samsung a420, a640, or LG 225, where the signal is weak on the phones.
...
so your one example makes verizon better? it is the other way around in many places. all carriers have their dead spots
...
And that's specific to that area. I'd put money on it (big money actually) that there are several areas throughout the country where sprint gets a great signal and VZW phones don't get a signal.
It's different in every area...

When something is negative or less than use the word "no".
When you're aware of it or have "know"ledge use "know".
What up VZWOOKIE?
When Sprint gets 75% the coverage geographically VZW has come back to us.
...
It's actually more than 75%. Verizon may have a larger coverage area, but not by much. I know in my area Sprint actually get service in more places. Also, Sprint has a MUCH larger REV A EVDO service area than Verizon.
By the way, if you are in one of those few areas where Verizon works and Sprint does, just roam on Verizon for FREE!!! Hey, that works.

All I can say without sounding to negative. You pay for what you get.
You want a cheap plan and service. Go with Sprint but you'll pay for it when it comes to you getting Coverage and good customer service.
You want good customer service and great coverage, it's going to cost.
My friends and I have Verizon and one friend has Sprint and he is always on the phone arguing with them or holding their phone up trying to get a signal.

Customer service is overrated. I have not spoke to a CSR in years. Then again you can do pretty much everything on a GSM network without having to call Mommy ATT and keep her abreast of your nefarious actions. Not so much with Verizon.
If Sprint has...

Sprint has the best plans right now. I wish they were GSM and I could use my phone. But alas Im stuck with "terrible" ATT sans contract.

Really To read these threads there is NO area where Verizon has no coverage.........strange.

Well it's obvious that no one carrier covers everywhere.
I am a bit bias (work for VZW indirect) but I am very aware that there are places that are dead zones, it just happens.
I do know that there are people let out of contract when moving to an are with no service (happened with customers of mine who moved to Maine).

So go use sprint.
What the point of this stupid post. We all know sprint is cheaper and they are cheaper for a reason. Thats why we have choices in america. I dont mind paying a little more to get a better product. If you dont want to do that, then you dont have to.

but sprint is just not a little cheaper it's A LOT cheaper!!! i mean C'mon we're really over paying for the same service.
...
YOU might think you're overpaying, Im quite comfortable with what my monthly bill is.
And verizons prices are the same as ATT's which is actually a better comparisson for verizon due to their size.
Once again, leave if you think you are paying to much. Starting the same old tired post in a phone forum will get you no where.

well i want MORE for my money and if you look at my break down it cost A LOT of money to get everything! i cant afford a 200 dollar plus cell bill!
...
port then. You control your own pesonal finances, not verizon. It's not verizon's fault that YOU can't afford your cell phone bill.
...
i can afford a reasonable bill i dont think 200 hun for gps, data, txt and some minutes is reasonable. with 9 pm nights. ok just saying 130 is an amazing deal that I am strongly considering.
...
You may also be eligible for corp. disounts with Sprint, and there's Sprint's SERO offers. sprint.com/sero.

thanks i did not mean to make anyone mad at this post. i was just shocked about the plan differences, and would like the added features at a price i can afford.

Plus, stating the known in a VZW forum, he or she is bound to get a biased answer, and biased comparrisions. It's all about what YOU want, and what's best for YOU. Not you directly to you cwcanty, just giving YOU, an example of the wireless customer.
...
i dont know if everyone knows of Sprint brand NEW plans, these are great plans compared to verizon. 130 bucks for all that 😲
...
I'm sure most are, but they are happy with Verizon Wireless. I'm sure Verizon works for "them", and some may not want to take a chance on another carrier.
...
lol, What now? What now? What? Are you a 10 year old? Once you experience Sprints Customer Service skills, and their crappy service you will change you mind. Of course, with your grammer skills I can see how you like them more. Intelligence would be needed to make a better decision.
...
LOL, Intelligence? Your user name states it all. PERIOD. Also, let me correct you, its 10 years not year, and Sprint's customer service (notice the lower case), also you forgot a comma after crappy service and grammer skills. ROFL!

Yes, becuase of my name that explains my intelligence level? Stop, you make yourself look bad. Go to the Sprint forums with the rest of your kind.

Sorry Chris, "YOU" wasn't directed towards you. I should of stated, it's all about what the customer wants and needs. (coverage, customer service, devices,etc.)

yeah I would agree. It's about making choices. With several carrier options in the United States, all with various options for their respective customers, You just have to decide what works best for you.

I agree 100%, I have one Line of service with Verizon (non-pda) and my bill is like $160 per month. I could get the same plan with Sprint and save myself $60 bucks a month but I really didn't want Sprint. I had Sprint on the past and I hated them. They are a company with no customer ethics.
AT&T's plans were the same as Verizon and in my opinion the Iphone is over-rated and has lots of flaws.
Left me with Verizon and I love my plan with Verizon, it fits my personal needs and I never occur overage charges.
Like (cwcanty) said, there are lots of choices in the US, and you need to pick what is right for you. Verizon has never been known for being cheap and never will be.

Just my two cents...
Never underestimate the importance of Customer Service. You may go years without having to call but if you ever do, getting something resolved quickly can be very important.
Also, I don't know where you are at but keep in mind Sprint uses primarily the PCS band which has horrible building penetration. When I lived in Scottsdale, I had Sprint for about 2 weeks and I thought their coverage was aweful.
There is a reason why Sprint is losing hundreds of thousands of customer's each month. Just be prepared to get what you pay for.
I know when I was in the US, I had Verizon Wireless and I have Voda now. I have never had a problem with VZW. The thing that sold it for me was driving 75 miles into the El Mapais ...

Some people care about cheap not better, Thats how Hyundai became better. By being cheap and giving good value. Sprint isn't going anywhere and is being perceived as a good value.Thats a first step to positive results.
You Verizon types had better hope Sprint stays down becasue theres where your customers will go should Sprint come back in a big way. It will be at Verizon's expense.
...
are you stupid or something? I wasn't even argueing with you...and you verizon types? what the hell does that mean. You answered the exact same way, they are cheap, that is the market they are going for right now because they got destroyed when they were doing the whole network vs. network thing so now they are using price to sell themselves, if it works for you then great, i personally could care less what service you use. You have at&t wiht your nokia...who cares, if that is what works for you then great, if you want sprint because they are offering great plans and prices and could care less about cusotmer service and support then have at it, I am sure as hell not going to loose sleep over it, but personally i also wouldn't want to be on e...

Yeah, Sprint sucks. I jumped off of that sinking ship before it was too late. Verizon still reigns supreme and I can't wait till we get it in this area. I personally use nTelos, and they actually aren't that bad, aside from a skimpy phone selection. Stay away from Sprint. Period.

nicolie said:

What you guys don't understand is you are looking at the big picture of network coverage. Many people only care what coverage is like in thier area, Thats why regionals are still selling at a premium. They bring a lot of custopmers who don't care about coverage in South Dakota or Montana.
On a local level Sprint can be just as good as Verizon and a whole lot less expensive as well. Its a great deal for those who don't care about having coverage everywhere.
...
QFT.
Some people need coverage everywhere, some need it only in acouple places, some need it in one.
Trust me, I'm one to think that VZW > everyone, but I know that it's not the case in some areas.

The proof that coverage everywhere is not important is AllTel

Guess what Sparky. In ALL of Alltels markets where Verizon also lives they have more subscribers than Verizon. Now THATS a fact. They had a choice and chose ALlTel.

Llama can defend himself if it comes down to it. I hate having to try to decipher some of the messages that are posted here. Some of them are so bad, I just give up halfway through. Some people actually know that they're spelling things incorrectly and continue to do it anyway because they think it makes them look like they're from the ghetto or something. It's retarded.

What the hell are you talking about? I didn't say I make assumptions about people. There are people that, when corrected, refuse to change the way they type because they think it makes them look like they're from the ghetto. This is coming from their mouths, not mine. They have to represent where they came from or some other such nonsense. Remember LOS? He is one of those people.
My point (which you missed) is that if everyone typed phonetically the way that they speak, it would be impossible to communicate on this board.

Because the way they speak and the way they type will carry over into job interviews and resumes, making them look less intelligent, and hindering their ability to move up in teh world.
I had one guy tell me that he "prolly could of" done better at a task. I nearly choked trying to hold back my laughter.
It will be a big deal when they realize that they failed to get a job because they insisted on looking stupid.

This guy blamed his horrendous misspellings and communication skills on the fact that he's black (or, as he put it, "blak"). I wonder what being black has to do with it, but that's his excuse.

It's probably best to ask the millions of customers that VZW signs up every quarter why they chose VZW instead of Sprint knowing Spring gives a lot more away for less cost.
If two burger joints existed and the one that sold burgers for $10 was consistantly busier than the one that sold burgers for $8... It'd make ya think... why would someone pay $2 more for the same burger? The $10 burger must taste better... maybe use a higher grade meat?

VZWOOKIE, you make a lot of good point and its understandable why you are considering leaving VZW for Sprint, especially given the poor economy we are in. However, I promise you the level of service and coverage you get with Sprint will never be the same as with VZW. Probably the worse thing that Sprint did was to buy Nextel, their networks are incompatible and they are having such difficulties integrating both networks its not funny.
I can tell you from working at VZW for about 5 years we have many customers who go to Sprint and eventually port back to us because of the lack of service and coverage. Many cutomers go to Sprint attracted by the lower prices just to come back to us.
