Leaked internal document confirms Verizon will hike ETF

money hungry? sounds more like commonsense to avoid scammers and keep good promos going for consumers that really do benefit from BOGOs. last time i check, verizon is a FOR-PROFIT company. unless you work for a NON-Profit company, protecting your subsidies and revenues is how to stay in business.

Then why don't they limit the crazy 350 ETF fee to customers who utilize the BOGO offer instead of sticking it to everyone?

Your right! I paid my early termination fee earlier this year and got the iPhone just like countless other ppl.

Yup. I'm glad the early termination fee was only $175 when I left Verizon for my iPhone 3G.

I'm enjoying my lower phone bill! I'll have to ask all the other ppl I know who dropped Verizon if they have dropped calls but none here haha

VZW and ATT price points are identical. So how do you now have a "lower phone bill"? Unless you went with a voice plan with less minutes, but that would just make your point moot.

I get a good company discount, and Verizon didn't always charge $30 for their data plan. http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/14/verizon-wireless-announces-30-unlimited-browsing-plan-f or-smart/

Then pay for your last month!

And yet you don't complain that if you drop out 1 month before on a regular phone, you pay a $60 ETF....

Kinda ironic with Tmobiles outage yesterday...Oh and if we're blame shifting; you're probably referring to a BIS outage which is obviously not Verizon.

LIES! At&t's postpaid customers is far less than VZW.

Yes I have herd about AT&T's so called "net activations" Thier net activations is not based on how many new phones are activated but how many new sim cards are activated. Every time a customers Sim card goes bad and they get a new one its counted at a new add. Now not to say that this is fluffing there numbers so much that is would make a huge difference, but kind of a shady way to boost them a little.

wow hova... it seems like all the comments you post are always wrong and uneducated. nice job

They said so in a public statement, maybe you should take up your issue with their data yourself The Doc? I'm so glad I have to deal with your idiotic posts again. Oh joy. And if you don't believe them, do a search. If you can't point me to something stating otherwise, your comment disclaiming mine is as good as nothing to me. If you think I'm going to believe you just because you say LIES you must be an idiot. I could say lies to everything you say, does that make it credible? Clearly you're not the only one though, because tonyc_42 believes you. I guess you guys roll in packs.

19. VGirl posted on 04 Nov 2009, 17:38 0 0

Packs? If by packs you mean that we stand up for a good carrier when they are being slandered by bad information then yes yes I do believe we could be called a pack. O and as for my information. That kinda info would not really be found via an internet site I'm sure that AT&T does a very good job of burying that kind of information or has some loop hole to count it that way. I however have herd it straight from a few different AT&T managers in a couple of different cities.

Yea because lord knows AT&T managers at stores would know those facts bahahaha!!!!

Yikes VGirl!! (and I hope the "V" stands for Verizon) You have "heard" that?? Hope you heard it from some reputable source to back that up. Honestly, SIM cards go bad quite often. And that being the case, it would look like AT&T activates 5 times as many as Verizon each Quarter. If you can show some evidence, post it. Otherwise, I'd keep that to yourself there, young girl.

Well hova and jack, I think it's very noble of you to make such a boast, disclaim anyone that disagrees with you by demanding proof, without offering any of your own. Anyone can/will say anything, if you want to be taken seriously, offer credible, non-biased facts/resources to prove your allegations. If you can't provide any, then stfu about demanding others do the same.

Yeah well I heard from this one dude's girlfriend's mother's daughter's cousin that used to ride the bus with this one guy who shopped at that one store that may or may not have sold cellular phones that it's all true! Who cares whose carrier is the "biggest". Every carrier is the "biggest" for something...whether it's customers, or coverage, or douche bags, etc. My dad can beat up your dad...

Mr. Bill: Please copy and paste whatever alligation of mine you are referring to. Please. No, Honestly. I will back up anything I say. Go sit in an AT&T Store, watch how many SIM swaps there are throughout the day, and then get back to me. There are a TON. AT&T does not count every new sim as an activation. That is just retarded. Good job at being a complete fanboy moron. STFU.
