don't sell the 39.99 data plan
sprintrep08 said:
ever heard of a cap? im sure you have since you cap your aircards at 5 gigs 🤣 , but on sprints 39.99 plan the overage caps at 99.99
Sprint's still in business? 😳
Even if this were true it would have to be one dumb customer to pull it off.
NO WAY would I pay $60 a month for data on a phone. $59 is more then I pay for TURBO broadband at home!!!
That said, $15 for that laughable AT&T connection is comparable to the $60 paid for the BBA only as a direct ratio. 4 times the price for 4 times the speed.

I really don't think 4x speed of my current 3G will make that much of a difference. This phone is pretty darn fast as it is. I certianly would not pay 3x for MORE speed then I already have . Thats like owning a Ferrari in NYC. SOMETIMES certain PEOPLE PAY FOR THINGS THEY CANNOT SEE OR HEAR JUST BECAUSE.
Oh and Time Warners Road Runner broadband has four tiers of internet Service.

But to put a finer point on this fine discourse, comparing your perceived 3G service on your phone to this person's use of an EVDO based aircard of Rev. 0 variety, is a bit, off... No?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Changing the Websters meaning of UNLIMITED.......
Amazing. Have another glass of Cherry Kool-Aid boys and girls.
DOn't fret though....The Curve is coming...the Curve is coming.....(in name only though)
Att copies everything that verizon does, so in my opinion it pretty much makes them just as "bad"
You come over here and hate on everyone who likes verizon and all you do is spew nonsense about how verizon sucks and att is the best cell company. Sounds like a double standard to me.
And some people do care about the curve, because its being released with features that your perfect little GSM curve doesn't even offer!
This is a website for people who are into phones, if people want to get excited about the curve, who cares! Let 'em enjoy their phone and in the mean time you can feel free to crawl back under whatever rock you came out from.
Oh yeah and ...Verizon DOES suck! Features and Verizon are mutually exclusive terms.I wonder if the "Verizon version of the Curve will have the native GUI?
All those extra Verizon features should be fun to discover as well. Features like.....OBEX file transfer you mean?
IF this were a website solely for hose into phones there would be NO VERIZON section at all!!!
YA think?

AvgJoe, just when i think you're turning over a new leaf you go and make a fanboy post like that....
LOL Sorry I don't meet your standards 100% of the time. I am most definately a fan of GSM no doubt about that. I freely accept dropped calls now and then for the myriad of choices and the latest technological advancements available INDEPENDANT of the carrier....Yeah the lack of crystal clarity and having to redial now and then is definately a small price to pay. Along with the real smaller price to pay.
$15,00 a month buys UL Data and Voice navigation by Garmin. Not ATT. You see I have choices.ANd yes Iam indeed a fan of having freedom, flexibility and choices,,,rather then reha...

Your argument is sorry and tired. The percentage of cell users that actually give a flying F about gps and UI. A MAJOR majority of cell phone users care about clarity and reliablity.. something your network doesn't provide. Realize what you have works for you but you're a small part of the cellular market. Churn and post paid adds will show you what the customer finds important
I could not care less about the "majority". I am not now nor have I ever been part of the "majority". Thats why I have choices few have and a phone few have. Some things are indeed reserved for the minority who can appreciate the finer things.I am proud to live in that group while the "majority" gets fol...

Eh? Socialism? I think you meant to say capitalism. You know, that philosophy in which we make money off of the consumer by offering a product that they use, and gladly at that? What was ATT's churn rate, again?
Uh no I mean the "We control everything about your service, your phone choices, the features, and the GUI we allow you to use kind of socialistic behavior.......Red is indeed the correct color for Verizon and I am sure not by accident.
Nokia the largest mobile phone maker in the world won't even make high end phones for Verizon......I suppose thats becasue they want to keep them that way,
Socialism implies a lack of choices, competition, and in many cases, quality. As an individual, you could argue the case for these things, but as a whole, you would just look silly. Well, sillier.
Verizon may not be for you, and their choices may limit you in a capacity that you perceive to be damaging, but that's ok- Because you have choices...In a nice, non-socialism kind of way...

"A lack of choices" (Verizon's historic phone selection is notorious for being seriously lacking)
" Lack of Competition" (Verizon fan-boys often claim there is no competition)
"Quality" (defined by who's standards and to wat standards?) Quality to me is a fully featured phone that works most of the time to make phone calls and offers unlimited flexibility regarding it's feature set as INTENDED by the manufacturer.
The "case" is clear. Verizon offers the same GUI to everyone, There ...

Fanbois may say what they want, that doesn't make it true. Yourself, for instance... Fortunately we exist in a very competetive environment, to the benefit of all.
The gui arguement is a tired one. Yes, there is a standard gui. No, not all phones use it. No, most people don't care. Yes, there is a vocal minority who do. Yes, they can choose other carriers, we don't hold them at gun point. Well, most sales people don't, anyway. Hell, that makes me tired just writing it.
Quality? You're using the old academic fall back- everything is relative, who are we to say what something is or is not? Well, for the mo...

Sprint's losing to ATT? Perhaps. But why since CDMA is the end all.
CDMA is still more popular in the US than GSM is. That hasn't changed, even with Sprint self-destructing via some poor business decisions. So yeah, I guess you're right, CDMA is better.
I would not poo poo pre paid, as
it is the path to post paid for many
That's the hope, anyway. The reality is, prepaid customers tend to be cheap and fickle, and this is reflected in lower ARPU from prepaid and MUCH higher churn (which in itself is an expense).
But hey, if ATT is that desperate for the low-rent customers... I guess GSM has to take what it can get.
But alas even pre paid c...

Nah, the only thing I can't fathom is why a grown man would bother to troll all day long on a forum for a carrier he hates and has no interest in joining.
I mean, if that's your version of a social life, okay, but I think even shut-ins have more fun than you.
This is not a social life at all. This is your world not mine. I am having fun though. Just enjoy your twisting in the wind trying with all you got to defend a Cell phone carrier.
Sometimes it's the little things that bring the most pleasure. You will learn that someday. You indeed are a "little thing" in the scheme of things I deal with and enjoy.

Clicking on my name then Forum Msgs, we see 40 posts from SystemShock since February 12. For AvgJoe? 40 posts since Monday. 🤣 🤣 🤣
So this IS your world, not mine. And everyone in it loathes you.
