So the choices are now (all National plans) Tmobile = $45/month for 600 minutes + unlimited nights + Unlimited weekends starting friday. Cingular = $47/month for 500 anytime Roll over minutes + 5000 N&W with 7-7 nights + 500 Bonus Rolover minutes. Sprint = $50/ month for 500 anytime + unlimited N & W + 7-7 nights. If i ahd to pick one....Sprint Free and clear gioves me analog backup. What do you guys think? Any predictions on the responce by ATT and Verizon? |

Verizon is trying NOT to aquire 3-5 million Net new customers between ThanksGiving and Valentines Day. Unless you know something i don't they don't have the capacity to deal with a net increae that big at all. They can deal with an increased subscribership of up to 2 million in that time period as there past performance indicates. But if the offer some wonderfull new promotions , especialy in places like New York in the Northeast they will have MASSIVE capacity problems. Those are my thoughts. Comments? | |

Don't forget that Sprint is now also giving free unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes on ANY new 2 year contract. Sprint has been pretty agressive in the past couple of months: -7pm Unlimited Nights & Weekends $5/month -Free roaming up to 50% of your monthly alloted minutes $5/month -Free Unlimited Mobile to Mobile minutes FREE This weekend I'll be able to add Unlimited Push-To-Talk for $5/month |

If you ask me, all of the carriers should've never made night's at 9:00PM.

ATT seems to be ..pretty much Giving its phones away on there website. Also, Tmobile has a promotion. Regional plan for NY, NJ, and CONN 3000 anytime for 50/month. No nights but an option for unlimited weekends. Verizon has lots of rumors of new phones, but nithing besides that and the new family plans. | |

" The busiest times on most wireless networks now is 9-midnight (used to be 12-5 pm, prior to Unlimited N&W) For $39.99 per month you can get 400 anytime minutes 1000 mobile to mobile and Unlimited Nights and Weekends, that averages to be $1.31 per day....how is a $1.31 per day GOUGING? The average price for a 16 oz soft drink is $1.19 now that's price Gouging!!!!

Ok, so now Verizon has an unlimited text messageoption for $4.99 and also now on family plans you have either unlimited family talk or you share the 1000 mobile-to-mobile minutes.......Snore. New Phones coming is cool but i realy don't think they are goinf to have any realy cool promotions. |

I know it's fun to bash....but what part of your statement was correct? "verizon...bahh! crummy moto phones, marginal coverage at best, and bad customer service... just once it'd be nice if someone led they way with cool phones that can actually transmit enough for a site to hear it, had customer service reps that were actually glad you called, yada, yada, yada yada... face it the're all bad at customer service!
