thats why they keep me around, lol

These post just serve no purpose but to start flame wars....just port and move on man.

Actually these forums serve as an outlet, source and exchange of information for those interested in the topic at hand. They are also I'm quite sure reviewed regularly by the companies the forum thread is related to. So if those companies monitor these threads, which they do, and come across threads continually mentioning people leaving or considering leaving because of the high cost of their services, economic reasons etc the chances of said companies making improvements within their companies increases.

As a consumer that believes in and supports a competitive market place is LITERALLY IS my duty (if I care about the company or subject at hand) to voice my opinion, kudos or complaints in a forum such as this.

Oh I have the right my friend, but you have the right continue to right the exact same posts that has been posted several times over the past few days. Congrats on performing your civic duty.

I just dont see the point in these posts, all they do is cause flame wars and the last thing this forum needs is more flame wars.

And if you're so happy with sprint, go to the sprint forum and share you stories, im sure they would love to hear all about it. They could prolly use some cheering up over there.

Flame wars? Wonder whos starting those...hmm

Let me see if this makes sense to you. You come into the Verizon forum and make repeated post about how you are going to Sprint and that Verizon is too expensive. Ok- that's cool we get it. Where the problem comes in is that while you are offended when someone does not "respect" your opinion, you get upset. Basically, you are doing the same thing. So, if you can't afford your phone bill or mortgage, we get it too, times are tough. Go to a carrier that will work for you. No problem there.
But if you want the true decision makers at VZW to pay attention, I would not waste my time here. They have options for customer to voice their concerns directly to them where they can actually do some good. Yes, I am sure the legal team keeps an ey...

First off, actually I did not get upset, I'm simply responding to those that are upset with me, as I am responding to you.

Second, who says I haven't sent a feedback communications to VZW about their pricing?

Third, if you truly think that there is no one at VZW looking at these posts for customer satisfaction information you are dead wrong. This and forums like this are a GOLD MINE for them in terms of seeing what customers are saying, thinking etc about their services.

You don't like me saying what I'm saying? Too bad...get over it.

The time it took you to write that response another 100 sprint customers just ported to Verizon! 🤣

Wow ...that was quite a zinger! No need to get all nasty.

I never said I did not like you saying what you said, I simply said I disagreed with your logic.
I am sure you will do well at Sprint! From reading your post, it will be a perfect fit and you will get what you deserve from your service provider.

Peace

I love it! @ sdgmcdon 😉

I posted about a roaming question...The "Sprint Sucks" crowd chimed in and turned that question into that.

The problem is that Trolls make fake posts to incite riots within the forums. It's best to ignore the trolls and the people retalliating against them. I did notice that you at least read my post in the roaming question thread, but you are right that the post got hijacked.

But, it doesn't help your case to post about you porting out. It just adds fuel to the fire, as the post has no point. Posts about cancellation fees and roaming questions are fine because they provide information, but posts like this are the reason why people post stuff like "Sprint sucks" in response to your othe...

I also posted a cancellation fee question which luckily didn't turn into that, at least not in a big way but a sprint sucks person did manage to chime in anyway even though I specifically asked those replying not to chime in the Sprint sucks responses.

Lastly I figured what the heck, get a discussion going about pricing in relation to the economy, etc, see what people have to say about it which would only make sense that I put my two cents in to start.

And here I get a VZW police telling me quite literally to quietly go away?

Wow...

(continues)

my issue is more with the fact that several people have posted this exact same post in the past few days.

I dont need to hear every other day about someone leaving. Just go, and start posting in your new carriers forum.

stop clogging up this forum with the same stupid price comparissons. Everyone in here knows that sprint is cheaper, and if we wanted to leave, we would.

Chris

Chris, here's the deal...you may read pretty much everything in this forum, a lot of people probably don't. Hence, a lot of people POSTING don't know if someone has already said the exact same thing because they don't have time to read the entire forum as you apparently do.

Even if someone DOES know the exact same thing has already been said, another post on the topic is simply viewed as another "vote" for lack of a better word on the subject. For me personally, I'm not bashing Verizon, I truly hope that with enough people voicing this concern on pricing Verizon will react and do something about it. If no one said anything about it Verizon wouldn't know it's an issue.

You don't like reading about it? Then don't read it....read the oth...
(continues)

I respect the right to post your opinions on an online forum, but in my 4 years or so on this forum, I've never read of these "im leaving posts" that really seemed to be worth while.

I understand you are just sharing your views, and quite frankly, you have the right to do so. I guess personally i just dont see the point in writing a long post about why you're leaving. Like I said before, people in this forum are reasonably knowledgeable and don't need a listen on price and the economy.

It's just the same old tired post threating to leave, or actually leaving. Next time, I'll take your advice and just scroll down to the next post.

I think you have a problem similar to my own that my wife yells at me for all the time...I have this need, this REQUIREMENT to understand things that don't make sense to me when the average more rational person just says "I don't get it, oh well" and moves on, I demand to gain an understanding, to make sense of it (or of course to make the other person understand why it doesn't make sense).

...It happens.

sdgmcdon said:
And that's exactly my point. A lot of people these days don't have the luxury of spending more for a little better service and I suspect it will start to hurt Verizon if they don't adjust to the times. AT&T has similar high pricing, but they also have rollover, which in our case would have kept us from seeing $500/month bills 2 months in a row as we had a lot of minutes through the winter and spring that were un-used. AT&T also has the attraction of phones as well (iPhone etc) over Verizon. Verizon's only justification for their higher prices is "the network" and it use to be worth it, but not anymore.

Used to be worth it but not anymore???? Maybe in your opinion. Regardeless STOP flaming wi...
(continues)

Flaming with my opinions as though I'm trying to portray as fact?

The economy isn't an issue on peoples minds?

The majority of folks out there have plenty of money to spend?


VZW doesn't charge significantly more for their services than their competition?

With JUST THOSE THREE things said (which are true, all of them by the way) it's not reasonable to assume that VZW's higher pricing will start to erode their customer base? ...Hmmm...Oh wait...it already HAS done that.

http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/4/verizon_q1_vz_ »

(25% fewer new customers than previous quarter)

Opinion portrayed as fact? Wake up and smell reality.

By the way, I'm not flaming or at least not intending too, I simply feel VZW is a good company a...
(continues)

Just so you know. VZ is Verizon Communications not VZW- they are a part owner of VZW along with Vodafone. So if you own stock, you own stock in VZ not VZW.
If you read the article, it clearly states that Wireless is up 13/2% y/y. And with 1.19% overall churn, I am more than happy to see the addition of 1.5 million new customers on VZW.

more than happy to see the addition of 1.5 mil when it's usually 2 mil ehh?

I see that as a 500,000 person LOSS...

Maybe it's just my math?

All carriers KNOW that customers will leave. It is the nature of the business. I was simply advising you that VZW still has the lowest churn (post-paid). And that does make a difference. Yes, 1.5 million is nothing to smirk about. As you have stated time and time and time again, the economy is in the shi**er. So if a company can still post those gains, then I say good for them.
I am sure real estate agents wish they could have those earnings in this market!

Yes we do!...All I was saying is someone saying Sprint just lost X number (millions? whatever) in the last quarter/year whatever I was just showing that even Verizon has down times as well and just because Sprint is losing however many customers as they are, they are also GAINING customers (but at what rate?) and in my opinion it doesn't have a lot to do with a reason to use them or not. In fact I think they just switched CEO's didn't they? Right after that there stock from what I can tell has been improving and then you have the right thing to do, the everything plans they introduced.

I know a bunch of people with Sprint now that are perfectly happy with them, they are 50% cheaper than VZW so I'm giving them a try...Maybe I'll be back, ...
(continues)

the only way to make this a fair arguement would be to get factual numbers for all the carriers!

no its still a 1.5mil gain. just because its not as much of a gain as usual, its still a gain.

at first i agreed with you that VZW is more expensive and sprint has its plusses, which i still do to an extent. but now it seems that you just want to start a flame war.


**puts on flame suit so as not to get strunk by an collateral damage. sets out jiffy pop and grabs a cold beer......**

not sure how you gathered that from my posts but you're certainly entitled to your interpretation.

Just port already ready the sprint forum is over there

You are defending VZW a lot, warning them not to leave etc, then when you realize they're not listening to you you begin to attempt to insult them.

...I just couldn't help but to notice you're having to do that with 20% of the post's on the front page of VZW's own forum here.

20% of the posts on the first page of their own forum here are from people LEAVING (not even including my cancellation fee or roaming question posts) and that's good? That isn't descriptive of the problem with VZW when every single one of those posts cites their pricing as the problem?

Keep defending VZW...yeaaa!

Keep telling yourself they are worth all that extra cash...to you maybe.

Ooooh Cellenator hush! Where do you go EVERYDAY when you log into Phone Scoop??? The Sprint forum to bash so shut yo big fat trap!!! 😛 🤣

Go to sprint, yeah they're cheaper, they don't give you as good of a deal on phone up grades, and the people working at the company are generally unhelpful (Store or Customer service)

I have not been in any area where sprint is the dominant carrier. I also only know 1 person who has ATT and they have a lot of customers so idk.

Sprint is decent in my area, but not very many people have them.
