remember that f38urry is also paying for two single lines because of the NE2

Yes, but he is getting a 22% discount. He would save less than five bucks if he went wit a 700 family share and would be effectively sacking two hundred peak minutes in the process. I give him a 'C'. The OP gets an 'F'.

The Verizon network if over rated in my opinion. Sprint has most of the same roaming agreements in place. I used to like Verizon from the customer service aspects...that's changing quickly.

What did customer service do to you? I just called verizon last night and just like usual they were exceptional! Churn tells the story here, and IMO Verizon network still dominates compared to the competition.

Verizon's customer service is top notch. It is also irrelevant to my posts. Everytime I call Care or Tech the reps are professional and courteous. I give the rep a 10 and I give my likelihood to refer a friend to Verizon a 7 (which is a lie, I would never refer anyone to Verizon I just don't want the rep to take too much guff). When I get a call back from a manager asking why not a 10, I tell them, "You're too expensive. What kind of friend would refer a friend to the most expensive carrier?"

I dunno what would you do just dust off an old lg 6100 and send them to the PP website!

One of my buddies had an alias with Verizon and I told him about Page Plus and he is using it now. Another friend is using an 8300. Another is using an Envy. The customer service is wonderful. No question. They would win ALL the surveys if it were not for the fact that T-Mobile is close on rep quality AND many customers give T-Mobile the head up due to their cheap rates. I wouldn't recommend Page Plus to a whiny, self-entitled *Bleep*. But then I wouldn't be friends with someone like that either.

🙂

What happens when you want to opt out of the $10 fee? That's not "top notch" customer service. Sure, it's not the rep's fault, but nickels, dimes, and fees gave Sprint their horrible reputation.

It has nothing to do with customer service (as you yourself admit). A ridiculous corporate policy is just that and should be taken as such. I'm certainly not a Verizon apologist. I call it like I see it and Verizon Customer Service and Network are clearly tops in the industry. My point still remains that they are expensive and without good reason. I can take the Network with Page Plus. "What about customer service?" What ABOUT customer service?! You have unlimited minutes and unlimited texts. You should not be calling customer service in the first place. $40 for these with Page Plus versus $89.99 on a Single Line Unlimited Select plan (dumbphone). The customer service is nice but it isn't FIFTY DOLLARS nice.

No. There really is no comparison. It is not a roaming agreement which allows Sprint to roam off of Verizon. It is an FCC mandate. Carriers HAVE to allow customers of other carriers to roam for Voice. If Verizon could deny Sprint customers the ability to roam in areas where Sprint has NO coverage, they surely would. Verizon's native network stomps the competition. Period. They just overcharge for it. Also, keep in mind if one is in an area where Sprint has a thimble's full of coverage then they are not going to allow their customers to roam on Verizon. The days of force roaming to Verizon and munchkins on this site bragging about how they get Verizon coverage at Sprint rates are blessedly over.

I think part of the merger with altell is verizon only has to provide sprint with roaming for so much longer, like only to 2012

Verizon has to honor Alltel's voice and data agreement's with Sprint true, but only in those areas where they were in effect previously. Verizon would be foolish to sign data roaming agreements with Sprint.

Yep and after that agreement is over sprint roaming coverage will be much worse, they're not exactly popping up new towers at a rapid rate.

Oh yeah. They had best get some towers built up between now and then. It's their own fault. They rebuffed Scott Ford at least twice when he wanted to merge Alltel with Sprint. You make your bed...

Seriously, that Jedi mind trick might work with the rubes. I worked for Verizon for seven years and Alltel previous to that. The only roaming agreement of consequence hat Verizon HAD was with Alltel. Pull up Verizon's pre-paid map and that in their native coverage and that is what one gets with Page Plus. To make it brief, "Hush child."

the page plus agreement (unless it changed very recently) is the prepaid map prior to the alltel buyout (same with page plus)

You know that you are one of my favorite posters here. I expect you to do your homework, however. Look at that red and green. Verizon without Alltel had a little spot in Nebraska and only a little more in Arkansas. All of Alabama covered prior to the "merger"? Not a chance.

Hmm wierd.. I could've swore the map I saw looked different. maybe I misclicked on a straight talk map twice instead of page plus. Sorry about that

I wasn't implying that the native coverage was tiny compared to native + roam. I was simply stating that when people say "Verizon coverage" they should know that others will take assume that's the entire map (including roaming agreements). Even if it is almost as covered natively as it is with roaming agreements, people should understand there is a differen...

If you want a smartphone then yeah Page Plus is not for you. If you want to *BLEEP* and moan to care about how long you've been a customer and how you deserve a free Storm 2 for your loyalty then again...NOT for you. If you want the Verizon NETWORK (that's ALL I said previously) then you CAN get it and you CAN get it cheaply. You Knighs of Verizon put down your weapons and armor, okay?

🤣 Are you ragging today? sounds like those old dumbphones are starting to eat your brain. Verizon Rules and is better than any other carrier, you should kill yourself if you can't remain loyal to VERIZON!!!!!!!!!Verizon Rules and is better than any other carrier, you should kill yourself if you can't remain loyal to VERIZON!!!!!!!!!Verizon Rules and is better than any other carrier, you should kill yourself if you can't remain loyal to VERIZON!!!!!!!!!Verizon Rules and is better than any other carrier, you should kill yourself if you can't remain loyal to VERIZON!!!!!!!!!Verizon Rules and is better than any other carrier, you should kill yourself if you can't remain loyal to VERIZON!!!!!!!!!Verizon Rules and is better than any other carr...

Nice.

🙄 Not sure why you're being a jerk but I don't want to use page plus. When I looked into T-Mobile's rate plans it would cost us the same as we pay verizon because t-mobile took away their calling circle too leaving us having to get their unlimited voice plan + txt+ data no saving there. Paying more? some cases not all or just slightly little making the cost of porting over two years covering it.

Here it is. Why am I being a jerk? Your original posting was unnecessary and uncalled for. You want to blast people for saving money? I am calling you out for positioning Verizon against Boost and turning your nose up at pre-paid. Put them up against their own network and explain to me why they can dump minutes over at Page Plus? You don't want to, right? No. You can't. Quit being an elitist and just admit that you are taking it in the rear. It's okay to admit you like it.

I think you scared LL away 🤣 prepaid sucks and only scum sucking losers are on prepaid! Ghetto ass hood rats!

Sorry if anyone took offense I was not trying to put down anyone who uses prepaid. I checked into prepaid as an option for us, but then decided it was best for us to pay more and be with verizon...that's all sorry if it came off jerky.

$20.00/month over 2 years is $480.00 in savings.

Sprint includes text and internet with that price, including GPS, and all required smartphone features.

F&F covers, what, 5 phones? 10, maybe?

AMAT covers 250,000,000.

🤣 Amarantamin,

Stop! You're making him jealous already. Not only would you drive him to change his Cell Service Carrier but he might also go ahead and switch his Car Insurance and save 15% or motr in that process too (God forbid!). 🤣 😎

Should I even mention the Data 1500 on 2 lines is just $129.99, almost doubling the minutes for only a %50 price increase?

Nah, that's overkill.

Go for it dude! Overkill is fun! I already mentioned this to my back alley neighbor and he's convinced to switch and port. Then again, he has 5 lines, each for a member of his family so he could definitely use all the savings he could with 2 of the 3 kids in college.

LOL, you're great for my ego. Stay on these forums awhile, yeah?

I wish bro! It's fun showing up the fan boys (or fan girls) of the big bad red and black (VZW) or the big and orange and blue (at&t) on just how badly they are getting ripped off for the same services they could alternatively be having with Sprint. Maybe Sprint needs to get the funds together to acquire Progressive and spin them off into a Wireless Cellular Services Provider and implement the whole, "Name your price" routine. The premise would be to have a couple of Reps working for VZW to come in separately to the Store to shop while taping the ad only to have them meet surprisingly at the store. Next thing you k...

If only sprint hat the coverage. They still barely go out of the lines of interstates. And don't tell me that you can just roam on verizon when there is no sprint. That might be true in a few areas but if you're in an area that sprint offers service, no matter how poor the coverage you won't roam on verizon. That's how it is here. Sprint can hardly get a signal and verizon has full signal but the sprint phones will search for service over using the verizon service.

That's actually not true. Sprint phones will jump onto the strongest nearby signal, whether it is their network or not. This actually causes complaints with customers living near international borders, because they will be in both Sprint and international coverage range, but the international may be stronger and cause additional charges.

Also, please check Sprint's coverage map on their website. It clearly seperates roaming areas from coverage areas. The only coverage problems that 'Sprint' has is that evil monster called Nextel that they refuse to let go of. Nextel customers, I can understand why you hate your service.

Not true. In an area where they have a license to sell you will not roam on another carrier.

You are absolutely correct. I don't think Sprint fans need to resort to lying to hype their carrier. If Sprint wanted to service areas with less population they could do so. this is their choice.

Sprint phones will *ALWAYS* prefer Sprint.

1 sprint bar >>> 5 verizon bars.

OLD Sprint phones had 3 options: Only Home, Only Roaming, Prefer Home...

NEW Sprint phones have 2 options: Only Home, Home prefered.

Who cares! You assume a lot and think too little. You obviously didn't read his post Sherlock those 250,000,000 don't mean crap if he's calling LAND LINES! Go lose another 7 million customers! 🤣 But but but you save money with sprint please sign up with us 🤣

Hm. Same price that ATT and Verizon offer just 5 or 10 specific numbers to dial, and then Mobile to Mobile on their own network, Sprint offers unlimited calls to all other cellphones in the US with data and text included.

People are acting as if the AMAT feature costs the customer's extra; it was a free bonus given to any customer already on a data plan. It simply upgraded the Mobile to Mobile feature that other carriers are still stuck on.

So, while other carriers are charging minutes for calling landlines and any cellphone not of the same carrier, Sprint is only charging for calling landlines and doesn't care what cellphones you call.

🙂

yea i know 🙂

Yeah, but my mother calls my aunt who is 1700 miles away on her land line phone all the time. With Sprint I guess I would just have to buy my aunt a cell phone, huh? Don't pooh pooh a legitimate objection. If you're going to be childish just go away.

Okay, leaving now. Peace.
