Verizon and their Truly Unlimited calling is a big time joke!
So I'm looking at verizon and their lame website and it shows for 139.99 you get unlimited minutes, unlimited txt, Vcast, (which is a complete waste with zero worthwhile content) Mobile web 2.0, ( no java, opera mini, no html, a complete waste!) and Vzw Nav and mobile email (not BB bis) 🤣
So with taxes its like 160.00, and what if you want smart phone data, I bet it's another 45 bucks!! 😳
Who the HELL would would pay for that garbage??? Anybody want to port!! 🤣 🤣

...
Actually... the BB email unlimited plan is $129.99 and BB email and unlimited msg is $149.99. That does not include the BB Enterprise. If you want the BB server , yes it is $44.99 unlimited plus the $99.99. No joke 🤣
...
😳 But hey they have 'IN' minutes which everyone else likes to call m2m 🤣
...
The IN minutes refers to Mobile to Mobile calling, which so far only T-Mobile doesn't offer that in all their plans.
...
Read your title. Now how is their truly unlimited calling a joke? That plan advertises nothing of smart phone data. It says calling. You typed it.
...
The comparison still stand for 99 bucks you don't get anything but voice! 😛 I'm sure you're up on current event and have seen what Sprint gives you for the same coin!

Plus, there's also the fact that by them saying "TRULY unlimited calling" that nobody else offers it in such a way. That is misleading advertising.

I suppose you are correct but being that they aren't bleeding customers and money, they must be doing something right. I have no love for Verizon, but I find it odd that users of a fast sinking, nearly bankrupt company with the poorest customer service rating on record are knocking the #2 wireless provider with a continually top ranking score in customer service year after year.
I have no feelings one way or another about Sprint, but they are only dropping their pants on pricing because they are desperate. They are bleeding customers and money faster than they can count and their aggressive pricing plan shows it. Ask your self this: With Sprint cutting their throat on pricing, how much money do you think they are going to have to invest ...

Wow lol....Over the last few years Sprint has Expanded their network at a rapid pace, they are on track to release Qchat,Wimax, and have plenty of phones in the pipeline. I'm not sure what maps you are looking at...lol but their coverage is second to none.
I love how so many posters act like they know something about business, and post like Sprint is going out of business and their towers are soon to be possibly turning off. (LMAO)
Anyways not to be a jerk but all your blah blah means nothing to me, why you ask?...because I know better. My customer service experience is excellent, call quality and reception are perfect everywhere I go. The only thing that might happen ( and I doubt it) is Sprint will be bought out and I will write my ch...

Don't take the "trash talk" you see on these forums too seriously. Most of it is tongue-in-cheek.
Besides, us Sprint users get trashed enough on ALL the forums. We have to have some fun every now and then too.

hey jrfdsf is Verizon really dead last for native coverage? 😳
Yep!
Per their own website.
Sprint/Nextel: (iDEN network) covers 274 million people, PCS: 262 million
AT&T/Cingular: covers 273 million
T-Mobile: 268 million
Verizon: 260 million
...
😕 How does how many people they serve equate to native coverage size, I don't get what you are saying.

In other words, WHERE a network covers is more important than how many square miles it covers.
...
I appreciate what you guys are saying and the corrections in what I'm seeing in the coverage maps and the leaps and bounds that Sprint is making advancing and expanding their networks. Based on what BROWN27 said Sprints customer service is excellent!
So I ask you, if Sprint has them all beat on coverage, call quality, customer service, innovative upcoming technology that surpasses AT&T, a soon to be released 4G network and the best pricing plan of any other carrier.... WHAT IS THE THEIR PROBLEM?
Why are they not only bleeding money, which can be blamed on bad management, but they are loosing customers in DROVES. Their churn rate is the highest in the industry and according to what I've read, is not slowing down even with the new unli...

I said my customer service is excellent....but there has been problems with customer care for years which has caused Sprint to get a bad reputation and rightfully so. The last CEO was a moron and did not put any emphasis on churn, and certainly did not take the proper precautions when merging the two companies. There was dislike between the Nextel side and Sprint side and it caused a cluster fu(k like you wouldn't believe. They didn't implement a stop gap like the Powersource phones quickly enough, and overloaded the network with boost customers.... and by 06 Nextel customers were pissed. They rushed to repair the damage but were to late.....causing the defection that you see today. The high churn for the most part is on the iden side. If yo...

*smirks* Wow, thats a powerful statement there. I do have to agree completely. The majority of the "Sprint" customers leaving-if you actually read their investor papers-was tracked down to iDen.
The response to make up for this was too slow, and so people that were on Nextel during the merger suddenly felt that Sprint was bad. Even though it was the Nextel network. Looking upon Nextel's history, this problem as been rather big for Nextel. The merger only complicated things and made people believe that Sprint itself was bad. It doesn't help that the merger was nothing more than a giant mess to begin with-it just wasn't done right, or planned out. To me it seemed rushed.
I will admit, for the longest time-Sprint's own customer ser...

I have never said that Sprint has great company-wide customer service. Sprint's corporate CS is excellent, but their overall care dept. is probably the worst in the industry. That is one reason people are leaving.
But I have to disagree with you on the marketing thing. People ARE easily duped by clever advertising, sad to say, and Sprint does poorly when it comes to that and marketing their products as well.
To prove this point, JD Powers recently rated Sprint's network poorly while ranking Virgin Mobile tops in their category. Virgin uses Sprint's network EXCLUSIVELY for their phones while tracfone and other pre-paids use T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. What does this tell you?

Gotcha. Those are all good points and I appreciate you guys making them with a civil tongue. That's a rarity in these forums. I hope for your sake's that Sprint gets it together. I personally hate to see any company, especially those who provide healthy competition, fall.

I feel the same way about the American automakers, even though I drive an import.
Nobody wins when companies go out of business. It only lessens competition and eventually raises prices for the consumer.

True statements made above. To top it off, Verizon's AMPS coverage was actually a large part of their coverage area. Where is it today??
Verizon put plans to shut off AMPS in 2005, cutting coverage to a large enough amount of people nationwide-that their starting retailer (RadioShack Corp.) raised concerns. When Verizon didn't show any concern for the number of people that were sold into VZW due to the large analog coverage, RadioShack began looking for alternatives.
RadioShack's alternative was Cingular, which greatly increased it's coverage area due to its merger with AT$T Wireless. After AMPS would be offline, Cingular would have been the 2nd largest provider in the country, since Sprint seemed to show themselves the largest u...

"I keep reading about the remarkable coverage they have but according to the maps I read most of it is achieved piggy backing off of Verzion's towers. I know most of the carriers do this to a certain extent but their Sprint native coverage doesn't look much better than TMobile's. No one claims that TMobile has the same coverage as AT&T just because TMO leases towers from them. Why does everyone say that Sprint is basically as large as Verzion on coverage. Here's food for though:"
Sprint has larger coverage areas than VZW currently. If not by much-by enough to make the statement you posted tangled. In some markets it is true, and in others it is false. It really depends on your area-and apparently if its an area were Verizon Communicati...
