Prepaid not for me...adding a line?
|
|
|
| Well, with some research, feedback and info from users here...I have
determined that prepaid service for my ex-girlfriend is not for her (us).
I'm not thinking of maybe adding another number to my account which I assume
would be a family share plan. The cheapest family share plan with two phones
is $90. I'm currently only paying $43, so paying $90 is a big step for just
adding another number. I thought in the past I could add that extra line for
just like $10.00 or some thing. I guess that's over?? I'm just
procrastinating a call to customer service...that's all.

The second phone is included with the base family plan price and the
cheapest family plan is $69.99.

I think that VZW has a $69 a month family shareplan with 700 (shared)
minutes for 2 phones..

(http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.jsp)
Yep, the latest minimum family share plan is $69.99 (But when they
break down the charges for contractual purposes, it is $60 for the
primary line and $9.99 for the second line). Each additional line is
$9.99, to a maximum of 5 lines, with 700 shared minutes, free VZW to
VZW calling, free nights and weekends, and no roaming. Taxes may bring
a two line plan up to $80 or $90 depending on the Federal, State and
Local taxes where the primary account holder lives. My older four line
plan ($59.99, 500 minutes) winds up costing $98/month with all the
taxes ($8 to the county alone for cell phone tax) and no other charges
(overages, text messages, Get It Now, etc.).

I should clarify that the bill is $59.99 for the first two lines,
another $9.99 times two for the third and fourth line for a total of
$79.97, and the rest, about $18, is taxes, $8 of which goes to the
county (Montgomery County, MD) for their outrageous $2 per line cell
phone tax. I was surprised that the rest was only $10 for Fed and
State taxes.

Of course I have went to the company website. And from experience when you
show up in a local store it's all different. So, while the website has
general information I don't think it can handle specifics for every market
that Verizon Wireless can reach out to. That's just too much information.
Also, I did talk to a Verizon Rep and said I can add another phone line to
my account (which would be family share) for less then $69.99 month. Of
course it's not 700 sharing minutes. It would be lower. And no...that's not
on their website. So, reading the website alone really doesn't tell all.

There is a reason it asks you to pump in a ZIP code. That is because it
is building a custom reply based on the location you entered. If there
are any differences from area to area the reply website will reflect
them. A well done website can reflect any set of conditions.
From my experience the prices you see on the website is what you will
see in the store.

If she's your "ex" girlfriend then who cares? XXXX her!! I dumped my XXXXX
