    Just read this in an article that came out today

    "While the existing Verizon subscribers with tiered data plans won’t be forced to change their plans when they upgrade, the ones with the unlimited data plans will have to switch to one of the tiered plans unless they purchase an unsubsidized phone."

    This is bullshit! I'm really pissed off about this. What's worse I've been eligible for an upgrade for a few months but waiting to see what other phones were coming down the pipeline later this month. BS!



    I can't believe I haven't heard about this. Fuck Verizon. My contract is up in October and I think my fiancé is up in January...I'll be joining 81 with Sprint

    coverage is solid in the area....

    hopefully they get the LTE network up soon.....might have to upgrade to the EVO LTE phone

    Yeah, a couple friends have Sprint and really like it.

    Being able to to use the phone for home internet would be nice too. You ever have any issues with that?

    two years in and i'm not ready to bring cable internet back....

    when they first rolled out wimax in 2010 there were a couple of hiccups, but overall, i've been pleased.

    wimax 4g sucks in office buildings, but works fine in my house....LTE is suppose to be better indoors as well as faster

    once sprint rolls out LTE to chicago, i'll be looking to upgrade.

    i would compare wimax to dsl. it's solid and i'm pleased.

    I'm on a 2 year verizon contract that's up in a few months. I only got Verizon because my girlfriend uses it and early in our relationship it kept her from getting overcharges for over texting me. (we live together now so we barely text or call each other anymore).

    I left t-mobile and regret every day of it. My reception with Verizon sucks. The bills suck. Their customer service is only good because they are willing to help you out AFTER they fuck you by adding mysterious charges.


    Verizon=no good.

    I had t-mobile for almost 10 years before verizon and never had a problem with them. I will most likely go back to them now that AT&T isn't buying them..

    I was being nice to her at the time. Not worth paying hundreds more a year for less anymore.. What do people think when they pay more for Verizon? Or AT&T?

    Looks like I may be moving to Sprint.

    If I upgrade, I pay the same amount as I'm currently paying for unlimited ($30) but only get 2 Gigs. :fp: They offered me unlimited voice, unlimited text, and 4 Gigs of data (that can be shared between both me and my wife's phone) for $150. How does this compare to Sprint's pricing?

    I realize that what I'm about to say makes me sound incredibly spoiled being that I'm sitting on a comfy leather couch in the comfort of A/C, so:

    <brat>

    That is some bullshit, Verizon! My super evil plan was to use my unlimited cell phone as a means to connect to the web and watch TV through Hulu so that I won't have to pay for a cable/Internet service.

    I really hope Sprint sells HTC Android phones!

    I think we may just do it. We have cable/internet at home so I can use wifi. And even then, my wife and I don't use that much data..we've avereraged around 3 gigs between the two of us the last few months. We actually keep going over on the voice minutes so the unlimited would actually help us.

    I'm also thinking of doing the unthinkable...something I never thought I would do...switching from a droid to an iphone :o

    We are at 157 for two phones with the credit union discount. Make sure you get a discount.

    Yes, sprint sells htc android phones. Evo lte is the new one right now. Although only a handful of area's are lit for lte service right now.

    If I didn't use Google's services for everything, I probably would own an iPhone. HTC phones are just better suited for the Google services (gchat, gmail, gcalendar, etc.)

    I too have had t- mobile for a looooong time too. Can't touch the price with family plans.....
    Never had a problem.
    But seems things are changing since the whole AT&T thing.
    T-mobile isn't as bad as some...... Just not the company it used to be.
