Is verizon planning on giving more minutes on $39.99 plan.
T-Mobile has been offering alot of these promotional plans for quite some time, and I doubt Verizon will change. Why? Simple, they have "The network"
It would be nice, but it will NeeEEeeEEEeeEEver happen. Never!
Other carriers have to offer more minutes cause their service usually .. well.. sucks. 🤣
There is so much competition out there, why get stuck with a carrier that long, and then have to pay that "ETF"?
Yes you may save on the purchase of a phone, but if you have to sign your life away for a multi-year contract, then you shouldn't using a cell phone in the first place.
If VZW does it will probably be just anytime minutes and not include unlimited Night&Week probably no In-Network either.

The closest I've seen with a 1000 anytime minute plan has been promotional local digital choice plans. At least in the Chicago market, when that would be advertised, it was 1000 anytime local minutes, unlimited IN Calling in the home area only, and unlimited night & weekend minutes in the local calling area. Also nationwide long distance, only good when in the local calling area. The way my mother rarely travels, she really should be on a local plan and not a nationwide plan. I have to be on nationwide (AC and mine is AC I)...

VZW has had their $39.99 - 450 ppl out for over a year now. 3 year contracts are not offered in store nor in customer service. They are offered through VZW continuity marketing department. It's not something that we offer people. CMO (Is what customer service calls marketing) only mails out offers. It's not something you can call and request. The benefit of going to a 3 year contract is bonus minutes. They used to offer 100 bonus minutes for taking a 3 year, now they only offer 50 bonus minutes. So you could get 450 + 50 bonus minutes each month for $39.99 if you received a letter. ...

At a TMobile kiosk, the rep suggested that TMobile was upgrading their 39.99 plan with 1500 anytime minutes because they heard that verizon was upgrading their 39.99 plan from 450 anytime minutes to 1000 anytime minutes. Can someone confirm this????
Actually, yes I can. Verizon does have a 1000 minute pln for 39.99 for the midwest areas only, it is not nationwide, coverage is just like the local digital choice maps, coverage in a couple states, if you go outside .69 roaming, no long distance within the coverage area, no nights or weekends, no in calling, however you can add n/w additionally for ten bucks more a month. requires a new 2 year contract.
