Finally did it...the SWITCH!

[RaiderMike619]

Told Sprint to kiss my butt, and switched to Verizon...a network that actually has 4G...and it works. Have a 6gb plan a month for me and wife....hope we dont go over? Sprint was unlimited data....but only when it worked. Anyone else recently switch over to Verizon? By the way...the Samsung Note II is incredible! Your thoughts...

Verizon has a good network, but they liked to sneak additional surcharges onto my bills thinking that I wouldn't notice. I tried to cancel and it took 3 phone calls to get things cancelled. Their customer service is absolutely abysmal and their rates are high. I had Verizon for 10 years and am kicking myself for not switching sooner.

I hope you have better luck with Verizon than my family did.

I've been with Verizon for years. Never had a problem with them.

I've got AT&T right now, and I'm pretty pissed at them. Sprint is worthless in my area, so's T-Mobile, so it's down between AT&T & Verizon. I've still got the unlimited data plan with AT&T - I've had an iPhone for about 5 years now - so that's a good point for them. BUT ... they've been dicking me around with my upgrade, my contracts done with them, and Verizon actually has reception at work. Sure, the limited Verizon data plans aren't as good as unlimited with AT&T, but according to the usage monitor on my iPhone 4, I've used less than 20 GB - up and down - since October of 2010 ... so maybe a limited data plan won't be completely crippling.

My work phone is a sprint htc 4g evo and my own phone is an old verizon 3g motorola droid2. The talk is similar in quality with the edge going to verizon. My data is noticably faster and more consistant on my 3 yr old+ moto driod2 comparr to the sprint network.
I work all throughout LA/Orange county.

A little tip: If you have an iPad to add to your phone's family plan, ATT charges $10 per month to do so. The bonus is that you now get tethering enabled so you can use your phone or iPad to provide wireless connectivity for a laptop or desktop. The same data plan, etc still holds but in my case, it cost me each month $10 to dump a $65 Verizon MiFi.

this. had at&t, but finally canned them after a 911 call got "system busy", while a friend on verizon got through.

gf and i have 4gb each on smartphones, and i surf a lot, stream a little youtube, etc, and haven't yet gone past 2gb..gotta try harder i guess.

i had verizon about 11 years ago and dropped them just because their cust. service was so bad. went to sprint then to att because at the time sprint didn't have any phones i like and att did (worst cell service i've ever had tho.) fast forward to last october, i got fed up with att's cell service and figured after 11 years, verizons CS MUST HAVE gotten better so i switched.........NOPE. i signed up and was waiting for my phone and was already getting tired of their CS. no one at their call center or store had answers to any of my questions but there were more than happy to sell me accessories.

overall, i'm happy with their cell service but sprint and att had the absolute best CS. Sprint was best overall.

AT&T wouldn't waiver the cancellation fee after I was discharged from the Army, so I'm still stuck with a $90 / Month bill. And that's just for 3 GB of Data 350 Minutes and Unlimited texting. A friend has unlimited everything for $50 a month, so I flipped out. lol Robbery I tell you.

I dropped Verizon, the salesman guy lied about the Droid2 when I went to upgrade and I was paying ~$120/mo per phone for unlimited everything (with no data/voice at the same time back then on the Droid1, then the Droid2,) tried Sprint @~$80/mo (unlimited everything, AND data/voice same time) per phone, but missed too many calls (~12/day), then tried T-Mobile with unlimited everything (and data/voice same time) AND WiFi calling if available (everywhere at work, when cell signal is not available), still @~$80/month.

I'm on an unlimited plan right now with Verizon with my iPhone 5 but if I had to switch to a limited plan it really wouldn't be a problem for me. 2GB is more than enough for normal usage IMO. The only time I ever go over is when I stream video through Netflix or HBOgo. Without streaming video I've never even come close to going over.

Check this out, just under 40GB. And it's only the 23rd

I dumped sprint a couple months ago and got Verizon. MUCH better. Sprint was so slow it was just not usable.

[the86d]

Sprint, Virgin Mobile and Boost might be sharing the same towers/network for data? (I have had data issues on both VM, and Sprint, and others tell me about Boost's issues that sound really similar.) They will creep, but if you drop a device in airplane more, or reboot it, devices tend to give better speeds, but connections don't tend to stay up (ftp/http/etc).

Verizon is good at ripping customers off. Should have gone with T-Mobile. $70/month unlimited 4G,and they have the best LTE network in North America. Although that's only live in a few markets so far, still get 20Mbps on their HSPA+ network though.

Sprint is pretty horrible. Had them from 1999-2004 and had enough. Recently, I was using Virgin Mobile (on Sprint's non-roaming network), which is just horrible.
