-New IN Network expansion starting 9/27/04-
As of Monday 9/27/04 for you to get the larger nationwide free calling area with Verizon to Verizon over the entire network, which is the largest in the United States, (also called IN network) you have to dial *228 if you are on the America's Choice plan.
If you are on the Local digital choice plan you have to change your rate plan to a new one on or after 9/27/04 to get the advantage of the larger Local Verizon to Verizon local IN network free calling.

Ummm, no. At least, not in the South Area.
I quote from the QRG: "New & existing LDC customers that have IN Calling with current selling LDC footprints will automatically recieve the expanded Local IN Calling area."
The South Area LDC BGSAs that are affected are: Texas 588, Gulf Coast 592, Florida 632, Alabama 645, Tennessee 646, Georgia 647 & Carolina 648.
The way I understand this is, as long as you have MTM minutes on your acc...

Bowwow you are talking about local plans.
DP is talking about the local plan users that want to use the Nationwide network without roaming charges.
EXAMPLE: LDP $25. Wants to go on vacation. To use the Nationwide network w/o roaming - need to switch to a America Choice plan.
Also the new coverage map is ENORMOUS. A large chunk on Nevada near Reno is now covered. More coverage in Oregon, Washington state, Idaho, Montana. Kentucky is fully VZW owned analog (non-roaming). Mississippi Is fully VZW owned analog now instead of analog roam. Those two states can go digital anytime we are ALLOWED to purchase the spectrum needed in the areas. Texas tightened up a little more.
I'd say we cover closer to 95% of the major markets now instead ...

DP that would make sense.
Regardless of what color it is.. It is STILL IN-NETWORK calling. Anyone within the last what... 8 months has unlimited IN-Calling right? So they should *in theory* get the advantage of the expanded IN-Calling simply cause they have IN-Calling.
Perhaps BowWoW was referring to those that still have 1k M2M? I can understand they wouldn't get the advantage of the newer expanded IN-Calling network.. Wait still though they would get the expanded network.. Ugh it's kinda hard to grasp the concept there BowWow. I'm trying to figure it out on paper and I just can't. Not to say that you aren't right! It just doesn't make sense to NOT give it to everyone. If that is true that is a mistake on VZW's part.

This confuses me as a retail customer too. I guess on Monday 09/27/04 I will stop at a store, pick up new pamphlets get a new briefing and go from there to where I need to be given my situation. All the variations in these numerous plans create the old shell game to us?

My Verizon rep told me the same thing that Digital Pimp said... that those who are on the America's Choice calling plans with IN-Network already don't need to take any action to enjoy the expanded coverage area, but that those who are on Local DigitalChoice calling plans will have to call in to receive the new benefits. This may have something to do with the fact that on America's choice the free calling areas and the IN Network areas are identical, while on the Local DigitalChoice plans the IN Network area is still smaller than the free calling area, although larger than before.

The above post is incorrect.
Regardless of the current plan you are on, to get the extended In-Network area, you must be on a plan that originates on or after 9/27/04, otherwise, your phone will not automatically switch to the expanded area.
Also, not all extended networks are affected.
With the expanded area, your phones roaming indicator will display one of four ways:
No indicator, Verizon Wireless banner:
You are on the primary network, all digital features available, in-network works as normal.
No indicator Extended Network banner:
You are on an extended network, digital features not available, in-network works as normal.
Flashing indicator Extended Network banner:
You are on an extended network, digital featur...
