Billings, MT | What a ripoff.. So.. They're doubling the ETF rates? Why?
1. The technology is CDMA. Which means if the phone is blacklisted, it can't be used at all. I bumped into this on my first 6800, but the person was decent enough to replace it with one that does work.
..as for GSM, which you could unlock the phone and shove in a prepaid/contract SIM card.
2. Are they already screwing people for going over their 5GB cap? If the ETF ever went up, I'd expect that cap GONE.
This.. is yet another reason I will never switch over to Verizon.. I will keep Alltel until the towers get shut off.

| You're worried about a 5GB cap? On a PHONE? If the cap was 5MB I'd be worried but not 5GB. |

You obviously have not used some of these new smartphones. With streaming video and audio all day, one can go through 5GB in a month.
(I streamed audio through my iPhone all day at work when I was on AT&T to listen to music; now I do the same on Sprint with my Palm Pre.)

To all liberals: I am NOT one of your parents, so get the heck out of my wallet. It's time for you to grow up and take some personal responsibility for taking care of yourselves, which means not relying on the government to give it all to you. |

Pandora on high quality audio can use a chunk of bandwidth. I am a nominal user and this week I used 433 MB.
