Well, like any company VZW has projections and plans and forecasts and all that, and if all of those include numbers based on people completing their contracts, if...

Let's say you own a store and you wanted to shift your customers to your website instead of them going into the store, in order to decrease employee overhead. In order to do that you make the prices online cheaper & as time go's along and more people are taking advantage of the lower prices, you can start getting rid of some of your employees to cut cost on your bottom line. The higher prices in the store pays for the one on...

Quote: Originally Posted by Paperbag One issue I had: when porting my number from VZW -> PP, then trying to port it back to VZW later (6 mos?) it wouldn't work. Took three VZW reps trying to finally say that they couldn't do it because PP is VZW and VZW can't port numbers to themselves from their MVNO. I figured there was a way, but just kept the new number and moved on with life. We tried I think three automated systems...

I was replying to CA if you read my original post and if I remember correctly the Samsung U540 and LG VX6100 are VZW phones so either way you're being irrelevant regardless of what forum it's in.

Hmm, but they have amazing signal strength! Thankfully VZW is CDMA and not GSM. Other than the restriction that you can't drive, talk and look for the local movie theater on your browser, what other restriction do you not like about CDMA?

I can already tell you that teh Hybrid PRL will help a lot. Alltel has a strong network in your area. It can take up to 24 hours for the Hybrid PRL to work. Before the merge, I don't think VZ Navigator would work, but that's it. Now it does. I have it on my phone, but its not needed really anymore because they got done with the merge in MS and LA already.

This is why the newspaper is dead. That is not the only place where the fee and training were brought up, Pouge is writing for one of the most respected paper in the world so doubt the source all you want but what...

Quote: Originally Posted by Sam K Third, they don't cover "Theft from any premises or vehicle when not reasonably secured". I'm not sure what "reasonably secured" means so again they could deny a claim because they don't think the phone was "reasonably secured". My guess it means that if you leave the car doors unlocked and/or have the phone in plain sight that would...

Month-to-month is just what it says. Each month is a brand new contract for one month at $9.99. There is nothing unethical or illegal about it. You would just have to tell the rep what you want, i.e. no 1 yr or 2 yr contract. If you have excess minutes every month this would be the lowest cost for your cousin.
