Chop if you had it in writing why did you have to pay the bill? (or your company)

Because they told me it only applied to the continental USA AFTER the fact.
I told them very clearly my situation and they told me im in the clear.
Then after the fact they said oh im sorry but you still owe us unless you want your credit to go to shit.

You haven't done it yet, you probably won't get as good as a deal as it appears.

Unlimited talk and text... One price $

your data package...add this on$

you have to buy you phones now. You said you were an iPhone guy. 650 per Iphone at let's say 18ths.. Add on $36 per month per iPhone$

Phone insurance...$10 a month per iPhone

Tax and fees...about avg 14% of whatever total you get.

Total it up

I went in last night before this post, asked all my questions and got a print out of my bill.
it is a good deal - could I go cheaper with sprint, sure, but i rather have reliable coverage and in VA they are anything but reliable.

Please, find me a better deal if this isn't one...

$1000 bill credit for me and my wife.

"Unlimited talk and text... One price $

Standard Now for Verizon and ATT this is actually a GOOD thing for consumers. I pay $120 a month at verizon on a loyalty rate for 4 GB of data... It's $120 on ATT for 5 GB.... Adv ATT
"
you have to buy you phones now. " I am switching because I want new phones... Paying the Cost of 18 months or paying the cost upfront, only a small difference. Verizon does it the same way. Wash.

Phone Insurance -- I'm getting the Samsung Active - insurance not needed.

Taxes and Fees same as anywhere.

my mom just did this deal
it is a good deal unless you're some weird sperg staring at youtube on your phone 24/7 using several gigabytes of data each month and have never heard of wifi

the only thing that sucks abt carriers now is renting phones as a standard but with the new nexus 5x and 6p or even the htc a9, there's no reason to rent phones

Im not tryin to sell u on the insurance but don't forget lost or stolen or run over by car, etc. if that phone is gone or unusable, u still owe for it plus u gotta buy another one somewhere

Not entirely true. If ur a phone junkie like myself, leasing / renting allows u to get newer phones more often.

ie.
650 for an iphone
you do att next 18, so your price is divided into 24 installments
you pay 486 for a phone then upgrade for another 15 bucks
then you keep paying monthly and keep trading in

when in reality you could just buy the phone for 650
sell it for 400 easy used when it is time to switch phones

but sure whatever works for u.

if you have a family of cell phones I don't know how you dont do this. Love verizon.. called them and they worked with me trying to see what they could do but in the end they couldn't match it. too good of a deal

Why are the pretty ones always so dumb?
