| Also not every market has issues with the iDEN network, they're also working on the texting part as a huge problem with at once. You'll have problems if you add half a million customers in a quarter without buying anyone. millions of people left VZW, Sprint (postpaid), TM and ATT for the Boost services.
Also it's not very limited. I get service where VZW, Alltel, Sprint, ATT and TM doesn't even have service. My calls are also clear. | |

| VZW Unlimited Pre Paid VZW Already has a $3.99 unlimited prepaid plan.

Although, it's the most expensive unlimited plan out there, and doesn't include unlimited txt'ing (add $20).
But yea, they have it. | |

clubs: | Verizon prepaid in general is the most expensive out there. T-Mo and AT&T are cheaper by far, and Sprint? What prepaid? | |

| Re: VZW Unlimited Pre Paid Sprint's network not as robust? They both use CDMA. Sprint is also building their 4G network, which has gone live. VZW hasn't even started building yet.
Sprint has service in major cities as well, and if they don't you roam for free without a problem.
Sprint by far is better overall that VZW. VZW is just an over priced cell carrier like ATT. In the end pricing wins. | |

| Sprint prepaid is a partnership with Virgin Mobile UK and Sprint- its called Virgin Mobile USA.
It's available at almost every retail store that sells prepaid phones, and is also available at every Sprint store--reseller/dealer and Corp. owned store. | |

| nearly the biggest and 'best' even though vz is the 2nd biggest they have the best coverage out there.. and they let it to go to your head.. it's surprising that they are still digesting the massive loss of sprint and at&t customers due to their flipflops and mistakes in recent years. nearly ALL the other carriers have a cheaper plan or have competitive offerings in pre & post paid service.. now it's up to the customer to make the decision with which company they spend their money.
a larger portion of consumers are dealing with lower incomes and that lends well to a prepaid service upon which they don't actually have to have a contract and can buy service when they can afford it... otherwise they can use 911 in an emergency (which everyone eventually pays into whether it's prepaid or post paid).
Verizon's going to have to begin competing on price for it's wired & wireless services. just having a better service at a higher price won't last forever. not with seasonal gas prices hitting the price gouging mark again (2.50/gallon & rising) | |

| Re: nearly the biggest and 'best' Verizon is the biggest again- didn't you miss the Alltel merger?
VZW may have to compete on price in the future, but it's a smart move not to do so until they absolutely have to, which clearly isn't the case right now. (just look at their financial numbers) | |
