Verizon enters War, Kind'a
I predicted a price war between the carriers due to Sprint having a new CEO and declining market share.
So Sprint started this with the $99 for everything plan, which includes unlimited phone, text and internet and Verizon has counter well weak if you ask me. Just so we have a level playing field here's what we are comparing.
Unlimited calling, no roaming, unlimited text to any carrier and unlimited Internet.
Sprint $99
Verizon $139
Now Verizon is advertising their basic package at $99 with does not include text and internet, but apples to apples Verizon price is $139 which if I change carriers my bill would go up $25. Oh yes you can say well Verizon offers internet (data) package for $1.99 per MB, which means if you check your email and look at listing online your phone bill will be $500!
Again like before I am just comparing dollars not customer service or how the phone works in your area. But you should consider $40 a month times 24 month contract which is $960 saving over the life of the contract.
For those of you that are thinking I am a Sprint guy, I carry a Treo 680 on the AT&T network, speaking of AT&T when are they going to step up to the plate?????
