Verizon Launches New Prepaid Service
It's no Go Phone.
This service was created by Verizon because of Cingular's Go Phone. Almost 30% of Cingular's activations every month is the Go Phone service.
They mask the marketing claiming it's for youth or whatever, but frankly it's for people who do not meet credit standards. Youth and minorities.
How much is anyone willing to wager they come out with a brochure in espanol?
This service is much more expensive then standard prepay. They make almost regular monthly revenue, requiring a top up almost every monthly cycle.
Definitly if they want a credit card.
Which, by the way Cingular does too now. Their new Go Phone REQUIRES a credit card. They will not do cash payments anymore. Why? Because they want promised revenue every month.
They d...

If 30% of Cingular's activations are prepaid, which I kind of doubt, then they will have a roller coaster revenue stream. The prepaid market is not only for credit challenged but for temporary situations, low usage, and the youth market. If mom and da...

Prepaid isn't as profitable as monthly service over the long haul anyway.....contract customers will be with you for two years one way or another. Prepaid customers can walk away the next day. If I had the choice, I would rather have a contract cust...

Ok let's first get your racist comment taken care of. You say this service is only for youths and minorities? This means you are implynig that all minorities have no credit. This is the most ignorant statement I have heard in a while. Credit has nothi...

Other carriers?
Does anyone know if other companies like T-Mobile are going to start offering pre-paid services similar to this (or to Cingular's go-phone)? Thanks in advance.
And here go more customers to postpaid

Sure, thats probably what Verizon wants. However prepaid should be for those people who don't want large monthly bills (which this in effect is). I for one will NOT be changing my moms current prepaid over to the new system. I'd be out 30 bux a month, and shed never use it, whereas now i put 15 in each month, and she now has over 20 hours of talktime accrued.

Their positioning seems to be towards the younger generation - ie., kids who can't sign contract, parents give them too much money to spend, and they have a bunch of friends with verizon phones. For kids who are going to call either VZW people or on ...

Minute packs are better, bad thing not available in all areas yet.
Do a research on them 😉

Juggling act?
What gives with Verizon's constant revamping of its prepaid service? Isn't this the third time since 2003 they've made changes to it?
Prepaid is a market that is a bit bizzarre. New prepaid offerings keep the pot stirred.
Other carriers do a similar thing with multiple prepaid offerings.
Watch for some of the other prepaid companies to respond with new offerings of their own.
