Re: Get your Android phone for CDMA and no Verizon contract

Why do you need VZ for the Android phone? TM does NOT require a contract. They offer month to month service. The were actually the first nation wide provider to do it and DID NOT raise their fees for it like the GoPhone.

Where else are you going to get 300minutes of calling, unlimited night and weekends, MyFav5 and nationwide coverage without a contract? for $41 after taxes. Surely not VZW.

How about because regular T-Mobile coverage sucks in my area and has little 3G at all. And Verizon has excellent coverage and EVDO capability. Examples of coverage at NJ shore:

T-Mobile coverage Jersey Shore


Verizon coverage Jersey Shore

most of TM's coverage doesn't have 3G.

VZW has been offering month-to-month (via INpulse) for several years (my first cellular phone was via INpulse in 2005), and the previous poster bragging on VZW coverage is right to do so, as VZW does have fantastic coverage. The biggest quibble *I* had with INpulse wasn't their coverage (or even their rates, as most INpulse customers get nights and weekends free, and all VZW-to-VZW calls are free regardless of day or time), but their handset selection. As far as VZW's coverage goes, I could (and have) taken a VZW phone into the center of Sprint Country (Las Vegas, NV; specifically, the Strip) and have better coverage than Sprint.
And it's not the merger with Alltel that's driving the push to month-to-month, but the drying up of credit overall. The impact is spreading beyond housing to more general financing, and the impact is reaching VZW; how long before it reaches AT&T Mobility or Sprint?
