Tell me something I don't know!

I am almost at the end of my Alltel contract, and Verizon will be here in Charlottesville, VA at the end of next month. I am eligible to upgrade with Alltel now and keep the plan that I have for another two years. However, I see nothing in the way of phones on Alltel that knock me out. I've been using the Moto RAZR V3m for the last two years, and it's about all I really need or want. Verizon has the Samsung Renown which really knocks me out...full duplex speakerphone, a solid piece, and quad band GSM when I go to England, which I will shortly. I'm really torn between staying with Alltel and my plan, or dumping it and going with Verizon, which I had out of another market for eight years before switching to Alltel (needed a local number w...

I used to work for Verizon and if you want to go back your not very smart but that's of Verizon has to make money to...... from people like you.... But no offense or anything meant. Have fun paying more money for a service that in many ways is the same.

I'll be doing the same plan with Verizon that I've been doing with Alltel...$59.99/mo with the 10 MyCircle numbers.

Everyone of the five people on my list that I had are Verizon people, and now, I get to call them for free anyhow. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule here, but my bill won't really change all that much, and for me, getting a signal where I need it smokes a couple of bucks any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I use my phone for a phone and literally nothing else. Unlike some of you folks who need all the features a Smartphone offers, I really don't need it...nor do I want a...

Hey, Bleds, it's not a matter of being bitter. It's a matter of what people need and don't need. Now that the market is saturated and companies don't want to put up towers in places that's never seen a cellular signal because it's too expensive to do that (and there ARE plenty of those places, my friend), they'd rather "enhance" existing service by selling people what they want to sell them, not what they need. The consumer has a right to stand up for himself or herself and tell the sales rep "this is what I want and nothing more!" According to what I'm hearing in regard to the downturn of the economy, more and more folks with low plans are waiting to get out of their contracts in order not to incur an ETF and going with prepaid.
