Depends on the phone, depends on the area. 😉

If you're two weeks into it, then you're at the end of the trial period. I think Verizon's standard window is 15 days. So if you think you want to cancel, you need to do it right away, if it's not too late.

You seem to have a lot of info at your fingertips, if you here anything let me know. But if anything does happen it will probably be in the next 3 or 4 months.
I thought about going to VRZ great coverage, lousy phones. T-Mobile, great phones, bad coverage.(For my area and most of the U.S.) Do you agree?) What do you think?
If ATTWS does come here with a plan that I like, with some good phones, I ju...
