Let me guess....a Cingular users phone, as they throw it out their car window in frustration??? 🙂

Dude, either stay on topic about VZw or stay on your Cingy forum. Everytime you post crap like this, it just pushing more useful forums down the page.

Face it, Cingular will NEVER approach VZW in customer loyalty and churn. Never has, nver will.

If Cing gets VZW-like customer adds, I actually will be a little impressed.

But I'm sure their churn will still suck compared to Verizon's, so... who cares? I stick with VZW 'cause it has better overall quality (network, billing, CS) than Cingular or anyone else, and I don't think that's changin' anytime soon.

Fix THAT, an' then I'll be impressed. But you ain't there yet, bro. I got a good idea of what's hittin' on Apr 19th, an' its not really a big deal. 😎

Oh, an' Anx, you do know what Cing finally havin' a strong quarter would mean, aside from hell freezin' over, right?

$59.99 Family Plans from Verizon! So, you'd be doin' current and potential VZW customers a favor, actually. Thanks in advance, if true. 😎

Seriously, who types like you, SystemShock.

Intellectually, get using apostrophes to shorten words, in ghetto slang style.

Repeatedly.

Seriously.

Cruzing off topic with the SystemShock typing issue. Maybe someone could make a new thread about it. I'll put my vote here first...... I'm fine with it.

Yeah System, I used to hit hard on you for your sland at one time too...but I saw that you acted professionally. I live in a neighborhood where street talk is typically followed by street lifestyle. So I associate the two together. It burns me to see so many bright young minds get caught up in the ghetto lifestyle. For some reason doing good in school isn't "macho" and talking articulate isn't "cool". So these kids waste away their lives trying to be cool. And then they blame society the "white man" for keeping them down. It ills me. I try to preach to all the youth in my neighborhood about getting an education.

I agree with you some. Its just that I think you can be 'real' and true to where you grew up, while still getting an education and being articulate when need be.

Street does not automatically = ignorant. I think some peeps forget that.

That said, there are definitely some dumb 'too cool for school' kids out there who clown on the braniacs, not realizing that they'll probably end up working for them some day, if they're even that lucky. ☚ī¸

Is it the $59.99 550 FSP? Not sure that was there last week. If so, VZW will have it by the time I get to work this morning.

VZW used to offer a price plan: Americas choice II 500 anytime - $50 for the primary and $9.99 for each additional line. I really wish they would bring this price plan back. It was available up until Q2 of last year. 😕

Sprint also has the $59.99 for two lines of service with 550 minutes. T-mobile has the $59.99 price plan except theirs is 700 minutes.

I hear a lot of complaints from customers that average around 100-200 minutes a month in their family share price plans (usually our older-age customers). I really hope VZW comes out with something in this price range.

What are you talkin' about?

I saw Cing's results... hey, not bad:

1.68 million net adds
1.9% churn
ARPU dropped 2.3 percent

Verizon will beat 'em, 'specially in churn, but... not bad for Cing at all. However, I kinda doubt VZW finds it scary much:

VZW exec #1: Hey, check it out, Cing actually did almost as well as we did for once.

VZW exec #2: Really? Oh, okay... I guess its time to bring back the $59.99 Family plans. We don't want to give them any hope, after all.

VZW exec #1: Ok, cool. Golf at 3?

VZW exec #2: Yup.

🙂

I know, I kinda gotta laugh too...Anx was acting like Cing was gonna OWN everybody, and instead they just had what would be an 'okay' quarter for Verizon (actually a BAD qtr for VZW... VZW wouldn't want their churn).

Anx, dude, u b trippin'. 😁

Wow. Cingular turns a profit for the first time in 3 years and Verizon has yet to lose money in the last 6 and churn is still nearly double Verizon's.

Apples and oranges Cingular has been through a lot in the last three years. It is good for the industry that Cingular had a good first quarter. Verizon has been the number one wireless carrier for a long time and it is good that Cingular is giving them a good fight for the number one spot. If Cingular was GSM from the start and Verizon was TDMA and had to convert to CDMA or GSM. Then buy out AT&T then integrate the networks and put in 3g at the same time. Verizon and Cingular are apples and oranges.

I hope Cingy catches up and maintains lead. If VZW regains #1 slot, there will be no end to their "screw the customer" policies.

Better for all of us VZW customers if Cingy remains competitive.

Oh no, no more little orange people walking around, throwing their phone at walls in frustration.

I guess they'll change to being little blue people throwing phones instead.
