Meanie Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Verizon is running a promo right now. I guess they decided Sprint was taking some of their business. Unlimited text, internet and email for 69.99 for a solo plan (450 minutes) and 139.99 for family plan (1400 minutes). 19.99 for additional lines on the family plan. I switched my plan, it requires a one year agreement, and I got 2 Droid 2s for an extra 75 bucks each. I got a special price on the droids because I was thinking about switching to Sprint for the cheaper package deal but since Verizon lowered their prices I asked if they could hook me up with a discount on the droids. Hopefully the new phones will be here on Monday. They will not combine employer discounts with this plan. The plan isn't for a set amount of time and then goes up, the CSR told me as long as you keep the plan the price stays the same. I liked the droid I had before but couldn't justify $200 a month for cell service. Just an FYI.I think the invite to the promo was only sent to certain people, below is the link to the invite. https://email.vzwshop.com/servlet/website/ResponseForm?OSPEUT_9_9_z_UU_0Hsr_.2eHmH_wkhthEitHNFiHJILss...DgLmSee Edited November 11, 2010 by Meanie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmageddon Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks for the tip...I already have Verizon, but I'm going to see if I can qualify for this. I doubt it though, Verizon is one of those companies that shit on on their long time customers but give new customer's all kinds of great deals.

Disclaimer Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 ^--- This.The only reasons I'm with them is because of the discount I get and their excellent coverage area. The discount just makes them equal in price to all the rest, so the coverage area is the only 'over-card' they have for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 That's still more than Sprint. I have the unlimited family plan 1500 minutes for $129, the second line is free, then each additional is $20 a month. I'm not being a sprint fanboy here, but their service works well for me, and the price is great. On top of it, we get my wife's employer discount, which is something like 18%. 3 lines, insurance on 2 of them, taxes and all is less than $150 a month.

Artmageddon Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Actually, except for the unlimited text, It is pretty much the plan I have now. It is just set up different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yes but I'll take Verizons coverage over Sprint any day. I ported over from Sprint/Nextel for that reason Mr.Porter. It's the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the network.But, I think I proved on the poker run/sumo kill ride, that Sprint is better in some places. The most important thing is what works where you need it, THEN price. Here at the shop, Sprint used to be the only one that would work inside the metal building, but now the others have enough signal too, Mr. Rider...

Meanie Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I am a current Verizon customer and qualified for the promo plan. I think it was aimed at current customers. I just wanted new phones, so it worked out for me. Yes, Sprint is still a little cheaper but I get service in PA with Verizon and not with Sprint. It depends where you go.Like I said just an FYI, if it saves you some dough, sweet. If not, well that works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreator Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 It looks like you did not learn your lesson Keith.

Goldie Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I'm on the phone with VZW customer care and this chick has no idea what I'm talking about. Let's see how this goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Verizon's deal, I had nothing to do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 The only time I get anything done at Verizon is when I call customer service.the in store people always give me the run around.Here's an example:After Alltel was bought out by Verizon,I wanted to add my daughter to my plan,now i still had a contract thru Alltel,I went to Verizon and they told me I would have to BUY out my old contract and start a new one.After a call to customer service it was all fixed.

Goldie Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Alright well, not too difficult. They basically forced me to upgrade one of my lines to a DROID in order to take advantage of it, but my mom has been wanting one anyway. My bill went up by two dollars, but we have unlimited data on all lines now so that's cool. Thanks for the tip Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 The only time I get anything done at Verizon is when I call customer service.the in store people always give me the run around.I think it's the same for most, if not all carriers. I've never gotten much of anywhere in-store. I'll usually get my phone upgrades at a store, but it's usually Best Buy, where they activate the phone for free, and sometimes a slightly better deal. When I'm due for my upgrade this time, I may try calling in to see what they'll do for me, being my 10th year with Sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip Keith.+1 Just got off the phone with them myself and my Droid2 will be here tomorrow, and not a day too soon. My enVTouch (aka POS) was toast and past warranty. Keith, mad rep to you, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hmm..if I didn't have SERO with Sprint I might think about it. I need to ditch this WinMo POS. I'll probably just end up paying an extra $10/month to switch to Android with Sprint. I don't feel like subsidizing cell phones for my kids just yet.

Cdubyah Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hrmmmm......I'm rather hesitant. Currently I pay $140 for a family share. But only have 700 minutes between two phones. Only one has unlimited data, mine. So, I'm currently trying to figure out how much more this is going to cost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanie Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 The price is 139.99 plus normal taxes and fees. So if you wife or domestic partner (if your into that sort of thing) want the internet and will use it it will probably save you money. Best way to know is to call.
