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.

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 dad are Verizon customers then it stands to reason that they will buy junior a Verizon phone for the in-network minutes. This way junior won't kill mom and dad's bill.

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 customer.
Besides, Verizon has always been at least a little more expensive than Cingular....that might have something to do with quality of service...

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 nothing to do with race, but rather with a persons' level of responsibility. Verizon already has come out with a brochure in Spanish. Do you live in the United States? Spanish is the second most spoken language in the U.S. Every company comes out with information in both languages. Cingular does the same thing.
Now that that is taken care of lets address the other issue. If you know anything about prepaid and how often customers come in and purchase time than you would know that this new plan is ...

Spanish, non-english speaking people are going to be the downfall of america.
This is AMERICA, we speak ENGLISH. I you don't know english you came to the wrong country.

This forum is not ment to be used in the manner in which you are. And your last sentance is not correct english, so maybe you should give your case a rest. Thanks ever so much.

This is America. We don't all speak English. This is America the worlds melting pot. This is where people from all over the world to get a better life. This is where all the illegal immigrants from mexico come to get a job and send the money back to their families. If you don't know what America truly is you came to the wrong country. Move back to England where the offical language is English.

Ok I see your point then where are the Brazian cellphone carriers? Arabic? German? There just isn't any. In the WW2 era thousands of refrugees from Germany and Italy fled to our coutry for safety. Was there anything written in their language when they got here? NO. They had to learn to speak English or they wouldn't have survived. This is AMERICA. People have fought and died to make sure everyone can enjoy the freedoms they come here for. The least they could do is respect our country and speak english. That's just the LEAST they could do.
...
There are plenty of people in this country that don't speak english. I don't know what state you are in but everything here in So Cal is in english and Spanish. Its not right for you to tell people to give up their ethnic hertige.

hahaha.

"best reliable wireless network"
Well, Verizon has the fewest dropped calls, Sprint has the least ammount of network outages... To me fewest netowrk outages means "best reliable wireless network"...
I do agree though, that CDMA is the way to go. đ

...
There is many types of outages, how do you mean outages??, I have seen some from verizon wireless and they are basically system maintainance or upgrade outages.
...
I beleive the definition of an outage is (from what I read) is 80,000 or more blocked calls in a 30 minute period... Sprint only had one nationwide in 2004.
...
So do the GSM carriers. They are all upgrading to WCDMA, which will make CDMA look like AMPS!

yo like every brochure we have has a spanish verison.
This is so the people at the verizon store can offer something to people who want a plan and have no credit.
At Radio Shack we have sprint for that.
