"havent you heard about you guys going bankrupt!" I laugh again and he gets pissed and leaves. How is it that the nations largest network( customer wise) is going out of business? ha i got a kick out of it. ......then immediately after....(different one) HEY! can i AX you a question? love my job.
...
Isn't it amazing how customers tell you what your employer is doing...its lovely. I wish I was that much in the loop! 😛
...
Don't you know? Customers know everything!
Like when they call in and ask for the 300 minute plan (doesn't exist and never has on our network)
I work for em, but the customer is right! I am and idiot, and how dare I not allow them to get the plan they KNOW exists...
I love people..................................

$34.99. 300 Anytime, Unlimited N&W. No IN calling.
Verizon has had it for a long time. We still offer it, but it's not on a rate plan brochure.
I've worked both sides, BTW, Corp and Indirect. I love indirect. And I love it because I take pride in knowing more than the other indirects... hooray.

sorry .. I thought from the one response you were part of the evil (red) empire and just stuck your foot in your mouth about the 300 min plan... but never mind.
...
Evil (red) empire being VZW?
Nope... I'm with the ever changing AT&T.
VZW may be an empire... but try keeping up with our name!

I don't work for verizon:
And AT&T doesn't and never did... not even as cingular.

While we can still tyechnically add it, it is a horrible plan.
save 5 dollars for 150 fewer minutes, and no in calling (which is a huge selling point). Now, i know people are looking to save money, but overage charge potential along should be enough to steer "frugal" customers away.

Verizon had that in the NE but never in the South. I am not sure about West and Midwest though.
...
The only people who ever really got it were old people and now we have the 65 plus for even less including in calling. They should just dump the $34.99 from the system.
...
It that's not the truth I don't know what is! Just like customers can get free phones with a month to month contract because the flyer that Joe Customer's mom's sister's brother's dad's uncle's grandpa got said so!
...
AT&T has more customers than VZW.
A buddy of mine that works in an AT&T indirect likes to respond to the "Can I ax you a question" with "I'm sorry, we don't handle ax questions here. I can point you down to Sears or Ace Hardware, but I can only assist with cell phones."

They do have more customers, for the moment (Alltel will push them to #1)
Verizon did post a profit for last quarter. Which was a rarity.

Verizon can beat 70 million users? I'd like to see a source for this since I can't find one...
...
Combine Verizon's customer base with Alltel's. I'll need to find the article again, but they said that this should push them to the #1 slot.

It's not the largest network customer wise, AT&T is the largest network customer wise. 70 million cell phone users, 120 million if you count landlines (which they can take advantage of with unity plans).
Verizon/Sprint simply have more coverage. It's debatable which one is larger...
HEY! can i AX you a question? love my job.
Yes blacks are funny.
...
i was meaning after the alltel aquisition. it is approved already by the fcc. oops my bad on the getting ahead of myself.
