This site is a mess of idiots blabing thier mouths about a bunch of he said she said crap and since this is my first time on this site i would like to thank all of you idiots that write this crap and make your networks smell even more crappy than they are. You all leak info that should be kept to your selves and talk trash when the real truth is Cingular and Verizon are both former bell companies running americans into the ground by raising prices and lowering standards. Look at the past in wireless and the future is the same revolving door the same customer you hooked up today is going to the competitor the minute thier contract is up and then we will raise prices again and get more money when they come back and it happens again and again. ...

If you do not want to play the game; just stop using cellular service.
I got my first cell phone in 1989. It cost me over $1700 and had to be mounted in the console of my truck. If I was nto in the truck to answer it, my horn would give short beeps. What a great idea. And oh yeah...my minutes were close to $1.00 and anytime I traveled outside of my area I had to dial #54 and give my credit card to make a call.
My wife and I now have 5 lines with SunCom on the unlimited calling plan. Cost of service? 69 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = $149. We added the preferred roam rate (3.00)so we pay no roaming or long distance charges anywhere in the 52 states...yes SunCom has Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Total cost per phone = $ 30.40. In a...

Hmm isn't these companies in America I thought America was about CAPITALISM! America has some of the lowest wireless rates in the world in Europe they pay a hell of a lot more more for their wireless service. These companies do no create service as a charity they are created to make money since they invested billions of dollars and despite what many people think wireless phones are a convenience not a necessity of life. We survived in the past without wireless phones. Thus because of the billions in investment and the very nature that wireless phones are a luxury they have every right to make any money they can. but as stated rates were a hell of a lot higher 15 years ago.

A lot of people forget that America follows a capitalistic economic system, and that capitalism is what allows the ambitious to rise as far as they are capable of rising, without imposed limits by people who would decide how much profit any personor company should make.
We live in a free market enterprise where costs are decided in the marketplace. If people can afford X, they will buy it. If X it priced out of their reach, they won't buy it. If Product X consequently loses money and business, the owner then realizes that he ought to lower the prices. If Product X sells, the owner can either keep the price where it is or raise it.... until it reaches that point in which fewer people buy it.
The power of the customer is the boycott.
