Sux that our network has the least amount of dropped calls and hasn't been challenged by the orange crush while we are advertising it nationwide. And now..coming with NO roaming...And to think we didn't have to buy another cellular company to compete...lol!

Actually, verizons network is alot bigger than cingulars even before the no roaming. The no roaming in my opinion is not to battle cingular, but to crush sprint. If verizon ever offers rolloever, then you can talk about the big orange crush or whatever, but thats just a makerting ploy by cingular to get people to pay more for a service they will probably never use, or at least use enough to make it worth the money spent. Most people that have excess minutes at the end of the month will do so every month and therefore never use their "rolloever" minutes. People that go over, will always go over or at least very close to it, so once again, rolloever doesnt really help. The only people it REALLY benifits are those that never use their phon...

I love the corporate spouting of this argument. What a load of crap. If you look at the minute buckets and the prices of those buckets for Verizon and Cingular you will notice that with the exception of the $70 to $ 90 per month range where they don't match up on minutes or prices, that they are almost identical.

If you have Verizon you will pay for every minute...

I never compared it to verizon. If you would have read further, you would have noticed the comment about sprint's fair and flexible being better than rollover... But then again, the fair and flexable is also a marketing ploy. According to a couple articles I have read, roughly 16 million people go over their minutes each month. That equates to roughly 5 - 8% of all users from all carriers. Now, of those 16 mill, how many go over every month? chances are alot of them. So why not just jump up a price braket? In calling it a market ploy here is what I am considering:
A: Most of the people that sign up for it will never use it, or at least to the full extent of which it was designed.
B: The service is implemented at a time when t...
