Verizon is killing me

[kronik420]

no phone no bills lol
everyday i hear "why dont you get a phone, how are we supposed to contact you, what if its an emergency" etc.
if its an emergency dial 911 not me lol.

btw OP if your worried about the bills, try pre-paid.

[austinite]

Fire them.

I feel your pain. Verizon is a lot of money. I was just talking to ink about running out of minutes. Its a bit more money but of you get the plan that is $20 more you get double minutes and friends and family. Hope that helps.

[Vettester]

For not much more, I get unlimited talk and data with AT&T. Luckily, it's all covered in my expenses, so for me personally I can't beat the deal.

However, I found Verizon to be (currently) the best deal in my area for cable/ internet /land phone.

[Shol'va]

I've got Verizon as well. I pay 31.99 a month for my service. With all the damned taxes though it comes to 39.51. I get the 450 anytime minutes plus unlimited nights and weekends. Plus unlimited mobile to mobile. I don't have a data plan nor do I have texting so that's why mine is so cheap. But I only use it for the phone anyhow. I can't text and drive 100 mph without spilling my drink...lol But data and messaging is where all the companies gouge every one and how they rake in the millions. Just as you can see on your bill it starts out at 39.99 or so then you add data then you add messaging then you add protection service and so on till you are over 100 bucks a month and they are smiling all the way to the stock market...

You using that social currency

250 for 5 lines, a line for me my wife, brother his wife, and another brother. So I am spending about 90 a month personally. It wouldn't be bad but everyone has data except me, paying 120 bucks just for data. And they just released their data shared plan, and honestly its ridiculous, its still 30 bucks a phone, only benefit is we would get unlimited minutes, but have to pay more and of course I would end up with data. I'm cheap though, my phone is four years old and everyone always takes my upgrades cause they are in such a hurry to get the latest phone. Now they have implemented an upgrade fee, I thought it was a joke at first. But where I live verizon is the only place that we can get good service. inlaws have no cell service at our house, I laugh at all my wife's siblings when they can't use their phone. well until they started hogging my bandwidth with their smartphones so i disabled my wireless modem, fvckers.

[warchild]

ahh i have att and wish i could lose the data and txt plan but i need it for work. i hate texting so much!

i don't know. i feel like i'm fighting the waves of the ocean on this issue. we got some kind of family plan for $80/mo. but my woman and son both have those crazy internet gadget things on their phone, for only $35/mo each. plus had to get my father in law a phone, right? only $10/mo more. and this is only for portable communication

now let's look at hard line communication systems coming into the house.

let's see, we have the comcast triple play for only $99/mo that actually costs $145/mo. add netflix, Xbox services, and viral protection for the laptop(s),

so my total communication package comes to over $300/mo.

I remember when the house had a party line phone for $8/mo, and the tv had rabbit ears. that's it!!!

"monthly payments" are the death of america!!!!

Eh deleted my long response to this, but I agree, and monthly payments come at you from everywhere. watch out.

[gixxerboy1]

No Christmas presents for you this year for being bad at work lol

[gixxerboy1]

$30 a month with a better plan and service

[JP-MAN]

who runs out of minutes anymore razor....

and 200 for one line is crazy, complete waste....i pay 218 for group plan with 3 iphones with att&t.. 2 of them have unlimited data, other does not. have unlimited mobile to mobile so have enough roll over minutes to last a lifetime....

[AdrenalineJunkie]

Ive always liked my service for verizon. Ive always been a believer in you pay for what you get. I guess I never really considered switching.

[DSM4Life]

You can't cry that it's expensive when you have a lot of features (text/data). Its like buying a fully loaded BMW and crying about the payments every month. If you want to pay less then get a "dumb phone" and be done with it.

[Razor]

Ok I just took my bill from close too $200 a month down to $109.00
Call them and tell them you want the shared everything plan, comes with unlimited talk and txt and 4gb of data shared btw my phone and iPad.
Before I was paying 89.00 for 900 talk and unlimited txt plus $30 for data on phone and $30 for data on my iPad.

[songdog]

I had sprint 2 phones 200.00 month and all the dropped calls you could handle.I use stright talk now best deal out there.

[lovbyts]

I have been with Verizon since 2 name changes before Verizon. I have also had sprint for a short time and currently have AT&T through work. I dont use my AT&T at all, to many drop calls, poor service. Sprint was just crap all the way around. I get a cooperate discount so that helps but it's still to much. Remember the days when it really was just $29 a month?
