into the fire. So, I left verizon at the end of my contract and went with AT&T. A few issues along the way, but nothing that wasn't ever rectified. What it came down to was phone selection. Verizon doesn't seem to have many "middle of the road phones." ๐Ÿ˜• What I mean is; I don't need the features of a blackberry, but don't want a phone marketed towards text crazy teen girls. AT&T seemed to have more casual grown up phones. Anyway, it's been 2 weeks and I'm back to the 90s in terms of signal quality; dropped calls, poor reception, and missed calls and voicemails. ๐Ÿ˜ก So, my question is, how do I get back to verizon and keep the numbers I ported out? I think I read somewhere it has to be more than a month to port back in with the same ...

So im curious...What phone did you end up getting with ATT??

And just call verizon, and tell them you want to return immediately. Im sure they will work with you and can come back to a real company with quality service!

I had no idea that my enV2 was for tweeny boppers. So you're telling me that I'm not allowed to check my ESPN, work email, stocks, news, or do my banking on my enV2 cuz its a kiddie phone and those are adult functions?

I think he means that he just doesn't need the features that (in most cases) teenagers are all about (MP3, keyboard, flashy colors, the "cool" factor).

Best advice is to get a phone with the bells and whistles, even if you don't want them no one says you have to use them.

In this day and age, basic phones or "grown up" phones are almost always junk.

This is true.

The features don't cost extra and nobody has to use them.
Get something with some bells and whistles, you'll probably never use them, but the opportunity is there just in case.

just call customer service (800-922-0204) and ask to be transfered to customer loyalty/winback team.

it does not have to be more then 30 days. I port people back from att all the time after just a few days being there without issue.

glad you now realize that the network maters ๐Ÿ™‚

Okay, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. ๐Ÿ‘€ Don't you guys have anything better to do than make useless comments on a forum. ๐Ÿคจ For those that posted relevant and/or helpful comments - Thank You. So, moving on. I need phone suggestions. Dare & Decoy look great. I would like lots of features, but can't justify spending that much for them when they won't be used. When AT&T had a phone I liked for $50 I went there. Mistake noted and will be corrected! ๐Ÿคญ My current, AT&T, phone is the Samsung A727. My former Verizon phone was samsung U540 - worked well but was lost and model discontinued. I like bar style, pocket friendly, simple phones, that wont get me laughed out of my office(see Juke, or ice blue Chocolate). Also, what p...

So you want features and simple at the same time?

Also, why would people laugh at you for having a Juke or ice blue Chocolate.
Buy the phone YOU want and not the one that you think other people want to see you with?

Did you switch to AT&T because your co-workers made fun of VZW?
