Well today I am offically eligible to either drop Verizon or renew my contract. I've been with them for 3 years and there customer service has been nothing but outstanding. Service has been good as long as I don't use the phone in TRU/CC/BB or worse at home. This is where my phone drops calls or gets no service at all
The other problem I have had is the plan.. Currently I am at 34.99 plus tax for 300 mins Unlimited Nights and Weekends. Problem is I never, ever use 300 minutes...the longest I have used is about 120-170 minutes... most of my minutes have been used after 9pm (UN&W)... At home we now use Vonage..which is basically free anytime long distance...which I use to use my cell phone for. With Vonage, I no longer use my cell phone for long distance calls.
I have noticed sprint has a plan right now for 29.99 + tax for 200 minutes and I think UN&W which seems perfect. As someone who use to sell cell phones for radio shack 3 years ago, I have heard so many complains about Sprint's service in my area Vs Verizon's and found Verizon's service and support to be a lot better then Sprints Support and service.
Prepay I don't really like that idea...
Some people think I should negotate with verizon to give me a lesser plan/cheaper plan, but I have tried that before 2 years ago before I signed up again with my new phone.
Suggestions??
UPDATE 8/3/06:
Ok people the chocolate phone is not out yet..however I was able to play with an active model from a CSR and found it kinda small and not sterdy enough
plus it looks like it can be strached easily....and with the fact there is no case atm, i said screw it.
as recommended I got the LG 8300... picked up the case, charger, stereo headset, 1gb mini sd card, music kit...... the rep gave me a discount on the card and music kit so I saved 20 bucks on those two items together
All I have to do is send this rebate off and the phone is free..yay.. i am a bit confused why didn't I walk out with the phone for free as i am eligible for 100 off for my new every 2.... hmm..
anyways i have 15 days to try it and i am trying the vcast service free for 30 days.
