Verizon called 2 years are up!
|
|
|
| Well I got my call from Verizon letting me know that I was eligible
for a new phone with $100 dollar deductible and an extra 2k minutes
but heck for us low users what good is an additional 2k minutes? I
force myself to call just to try and use the 7 and 1/2 hours allocated
by my plan. Plus my land line has 200 free minutes also. 15.83 hours
of call time that is a lot of time to be on the phone even for a month
for this family. We use it more for emergencies on the road. So I
guess I will keep my E815 for a while unless it dies and see how it goes.

If you are going to make up stories at least make sure the math makes
sense...

If you're a really low-volume user, consider a pre-paid plan, but watch
out for limited coverage areas.
I have what I thought was a really cheap Verizon plan; 100 minutes per
month, shared between two phones for $30/month (plus taxes and fees, of
course). It's a "local" plan, so if I leave the Twin Cities metro area
I'm roaming, and it doesn't include long distance or voice mail.
I'm currently evaluating T-Mobile's pre-paid plan. I got a quad-band GSM
phone for $50 and 1000 minutes for $100, good for a year. It includes
voicemail, long distance and text messaging.
Coverage is nowhere near as good as Verizon's, but so far it's been OK
for me. I think I'll drop Verizon when my current 2 year hitch runs out.

Damn George I never said I passed math (grin) that should have been
10.83 getting old is hell and then adding an additional 300 minutes
did not help either, somehow either my fingers hit the wrong key or
the wrong brain cell just screwed it up. BTW this is not a make up
story just the fact sir, just a fact. (grin)

My contract ran-out well over a year ago, and Verizon has never called or
written or done anything to get me to re-up for another year or two. I
feel so unloved... :-(

Try not to lose sleep over it. They're offering mostly ice in the winter,
like extra free minutes to people who use few minutes to begin with, or new
phones that are no better than or inferior to the phone you already have.
