I need to change from Verizon asap. it’s Been annoying the Living arse out of me since they started charging me 400 bucks in my Montly bill all of a sudden. Anyone know if Boostmobile or some other Cell phone company is worht it? I live in North america so any European Cellphone providers will be kinda worthless just to let you know ---

Or you can just contact them, get your money back, and fix the problem. Verizon seems to be the best. (Well in California) ---

How the hell do you rack up a $400 bill? I use T-Mobile, although reception isn’t perfect everywhere, but I like it. 400 Anytime, Nights (9pm) and weekends free, 300 texts, $60 a month. ---

I’ve got centennial wireless. I love it, never had a problem. ---

Ugh verizon is absolute crap dude, get away from them as fast as you can. They rip me off so much, I’m supposed to get all this stuff for 40 bucks a month and they routinely charge me 75 for stuff I don’t even have or use, and I only use like… 20 of my 1000 minutes so it’s absolutely rediculous. I don’t know anything about boost though, but verizon still sucks! ---

AT&T is the worst, they are so terrible, their phones are stripped of almost all their features. When i saw my phone with Wireless Internet all over it, I bought it ($300.) When I got it home, I checked it out and it turns out they disabled it, afterwards I called them to see if they could enable it and add it to my service. They told me they only have it enabled on their most expensive service. I told them get me out of their crapload and they reminded me of the contract. They aren’t stupid, it’s their customers who are. (including me) ---

Who’s idea was it to make all the phone companies crappy? ---

Everytime you try and build something idiot proof, they come out with a better idiot. I know not every person is going to have a great time with a cell company and not everyone will hate their cell company. I’ve had verizon service for 4 years now. They’ve been good to me for the most part. Sometimes I’ve been annoyed but I know not every service is perfect. They’ve taken money off my bills when I’ve called to complain. They’ve given me discounts on new phones… With that being said. I routinely have $200 plus bills, but that’s cause I only have 1 phone and I do all my business on it. Spending 2 hours a day long distance gets expensive. Boost looks like it’s only good if you’re going to talk to someone else on a boost phone. ---

T-Mobile’s great. I switched from AT&T, and I’m loving it. I got a new cellphone for free that’s just so friggin cool. This is my plan: Plan Price $39.99 Whenever minutes (per month) 600 Weekend minutes (per month) Unlimited Weeknight minutes (per month) Unlimited Text Messaging 300 $2.99 Unlimited t-zones $4.99 T-mobile’s coverage area isn’t that big yet, but they’re expanding it. I live in DC, and I only have problems in the metro. ---

what i wonder is since alot of my family has Nextel is if the Walkie Talkie Feature can go between Boost and Nextel users (being that Nextel is the Main company who is behind boost) Secondly, They Messed up my Min. thats how i got 400 buck bill. I had a Deal that was 1500 min for all three users on the plan. (me, My mom, and my Dad.) then all of a sudden they split the min into 3 for each of us. 1000 for me, 250 for my mom and 250 for my dad. they did like 500 min each. and that came up to 1000 used min. = 400 bloody dollars. I went to complain and they told ME that its the same contract as before and ihave to pay my min. it’s pure BS what they trying to run. Nextel and Boost are the ideas i have in mind but i’m gonna try agian with Vwireless. i want to get that New MOtorola that just came out with the bluetooth
