Re: Handsets from the nation's leading carriers? said by sholling:What a rip off. For a $250 charge to the customer Verizon saves itself from adding cell towers and capacity at existing towers and doesn't even give the customer any free minutes for their trouble and investment. If it were $15/mo with unlimited minutes I'd have considered it, but not $250 for nothing. I also want to control access to who is using up my bandwidth. But wait, there's more: unless you use Verizon as your ISP (and probably even then, as well, since the minutes used still count against your wireless plan), your phone usage will also count against any monthly caps your ISP has. Oh... and Verizon will be making money off of and using someone elses's pipes.
