Rich, sorry to hear about your accident. My wife and I had two accidents--our children. (Just kidding, we love them.) Oh ya, and congrats on being "assimilated." The Borg collective loves you. Just remember, "we" are Verizon.

Wayne: They call marriage an "institution." That's also what they call insane asylums. (But I must also add that I am happily insane (ahh, "married") --as of this November for 30 years.)

 

Resistance is FUTILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oops..........srry.

LOL Very true Master Kevin

 

Glad to hear you finally got a real wireless phone now Rich. LOL hope you enjoy it

 

Hey Rich,

I thought you already had a Verizon phone along with your Nextel. Weren't you talking about using Verizon and roaming on Sprint on your trip to the Grand Canyon? Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you're recovering well.

 

Rich- I use call forwarding all the time with Verizon. I have never been charged for forwarding calls to landline (but when checking your minutes, the system includes these "forwarded" calls). Verizon swears that if you forward calls to a cell phone, then you will be charged. I am not sure if they mean they(Verizon) will charge me or that the minutes used on the "forwarded to" cell phone will charge minutes as normal.

That is one thing about older Verizon plans. There is no way to check in the automated system how many mobile-mobile minutes, forwarded call minutes vs anytime minutes used. They are all combined. I did have a rep tell me that he could separate mobile to mobile vs anytime, but he did not/could not remove call forwarding minutes from the count.

 

they are all being seduced by the dark side of rural analog service! lol j/k

even a hardcore sprint guy like me will admit for those in rural areas verizon is most probably the way to go; and desert landscape in arizona counts as rural.

only thing i have a gripe about is that verizon users roam for free on sprint digital while sprint users roam on verizon analog for anywheres from 30-69 cents a minute (69 cent out here in nj) i personally have never had to roam but this agreement seems just a little skewed.

 

Rich,

With Sprint you will never be without coverage since they have analog roaming agreements covering 100% of the existing cellular coverage. So basically if your Verizon phone works then your Sprint phone will work also just with a .39 to .69 cent/min charge. But at least you won't be without coverage like Nextel who's phones cannot roam. With the way Sprint is expanding in Arizona, you might not need to roam very often anymore.

 

Rich,
Just last year, Verizon tried the same thing along the east coast. They changed everyone's Night period from 8pm to 9pm, regardless of plan details. Bad idea. There was a huge uproar, but complaints to the Attorneys General of New York and Connecticut did the most good. But to catch THEIR attention, irate customers went to the newpapers, and TV & Radio consumer advocates.

Verizon got a lot of bad press and a scolding from the Attorneys General, and had to recind their change to 9pm on existing accounts. This all happened with the aid of Usenet. Do a search from last year and you will follow it. In the meantime, Verizon has learned to switch people to 9pm by offering new plans, like America's Choice.

Unfortunately, I don't see such a hue & cry arising from Nextel's customers, most of whom don't use much off-peak time. But the precedent has been set. Each state in the east has said, "you can't do that," and were willing to support customers in court.

Nextel has had such a good reputation. This crap puts them into the gutter with other greedy corporate slime. How terribly short-sighted.

Rich,

Very good choice on the Sanyo 6200! This phone is going to be awesome and adds dual band capabilties over the 6000. It's not out yet but should be by June. In fact Sprint should have a number of new phones out by June or July that will blow away some of thier current models. You could also wait & check out the Kyocera 5135 tri-mode, Samsung A460 or the new Hitachi phones. But I personally would recommend Kyocera if you think you'll need good analog reception. The one problem with Sanyo is that their current phones are lacking in analog performance. I'm not sure if this will be fixed with the 6200.

 

Rich, I was shocked when I found out Nextel was changing their nights to 9m . I just signed up with them three weeks ago. I called them and asked them why they were doing this? their answer was everyone else has switched except att. So I asked them if I was grandfathered in at 8m and they said no , I told them at least Verizon and sprint will as long as you stay on the same plan. Sorry we don;t do that; and I said fine cancel my contract its less than 30 days old ! The rep then said how about if we could give you 300 extra bonus anytime minutes per month?It gives me 600 anytime minutes now . Works for me. Tompug.

 

LMAO at that last post. I like that u told the service rep what u said. hehe.

hey rich i live in NJ can u send one of ure guys over to fix something in my apartment?

 

LOL............why would you go to a carrier that charges you roam on an analog network when you could go with a carrier that does not charge you??

Rich..................you with Verizon or Sprint???

 

So Verizon nights and weekends start at 9? !@#$, someone told me they were 8, and I just cancelled my 8:00 sprint service. I guess I would make the switch anyway, but that kinda sucks.

 

N&W can start at different times depending on where you are, and if you have an older plan...

I have AC in Chicago and my NW starts at 9pm.

 

Verizon will pick up off the Sprint network................soooooooooo.........................if your Verizon does not work.................Sprint should not either.

There are some cases where I am wrong though.....................but usually it will pick up thier network. Go get one and try it out.....and tell me the info.

Cya later

p.s. So you out of riding for like 3 months huh??? That is how long it took me to get back on.

 

LOL...........tell ya one thing..........I busted mine trying to do a nack nack..............duhhhhhhhhhhh I quit doing stunts after that

 

Hey Rich,
Keep on roaming off of Sprint so they'll get paid by Verizon! LOL

 

HEY!!!!!!!!!!>...................................that not nice hehe

Dont worry..........we make it up when you roam off out analog network muahahhah...........

 

I'm sure Sprint will see a nice bump in roaming revenue this quarter due to Verizon users. They need every $ to maintain their aggressive spending.

Actually, Larry the Sanyo SCP6200 is already being sold on Sprint PCS's website go to there phone section on there website and check it out.

 

Yes I already made a post about that in the phones forum. Noticed it earlier this morning on the web site. It's an awesome phone!

 

Sorry, Larry didn't see that post in there until after I had already posted this. Yes, it looks cool but I don't know its a little to thin and awkard shaped for me I don't think I would buy one if I used Sprint PCS.
