Class Action Against Verizon Can Move Forward
there is truth to this;
the other day i had a customer who wanted to terminate service with vzw to port over..and she asked for the etf fee..the rep on the other end said that it would be 175.00..i had advised my customer to tell the vzw rep about porated fee..and only then they told her its would be 150 or something.. i hope that vzw does lose this case.
...
wow man you're like the only vzw rep i have respect for. cause you havent let the job get to your head like some of these other corporate monkeys on here. kudos to you man. seriously

Doesn't matter. If I told you your ETF was $1 million you wouldn't get charged that, you'd get billed whatever the system has on file.
...
we can sit here and complain fight with each other and stuff all we want but the truth of the matter is until the government steps in and does something, the carriers will continue to rule with an iron fist sans accepting responsibility for the lack of good healthy, competetive and fair business practices.

Irrespective of which company you're shilling for, I have to take issue with the hyperbole in that comment.
The carriers are restricting their customers less so now than they ever have at any point in time before. That may not be enough to some people, but it is still the truth. What lead to this?- A competetive environment in which the companies changed their policies based on demand and the better practices of their competition.
Case in point-Verizon: Following the launch of the lawsuit, they responded with variable ETF's. All the competition followed suit within months. Government intervention isn't needed to fix something that the market will fix on its own.
You decry ETF's, but fail to criticize the many other indus...

Another case in point, Alltel and its lack of contract extensions with price plan changes. Now at least Verizon has adopted this policy, and I'm pretty sure other major carriers have as well.
If the government steps in it's going to do one of two things: either it will regulate that every cell phone provider has to provide something that they already do like free weekends, or they're going to do something like ban ETFs altogether, which would put my job as well as hundreds of thousands of other sales reps, indirect agents, and small business owners at risk.
I've said it before, but it bears repeating, are we sure we want the government running our healthcare system?
