>>61708389
I haven't the faintest fucking clue as to what it is. I looked it up and apparently it's a sneaky way for cell phone companies to get more money out of you. If you pay off the phone it's apparently even more or less depending.

>As mentioned above, Verizon charges you $20 per month, per line, for having and using a smartphone. This is not a charge for data usage, nor is it any kind of device payment plan. It has nothing whatsoever to do with any usage. Thus, we pay Verizon $40 a month, on top of our $45 usage subscription plan, simply because the phones on both lines are smartphones.

Verizon's coverage is too good for me to go elsewhere but goddamn are they kikes

If you want limited minutes and extremely limited data, check an MVNO. I use Red Pocket mobile and pay a little less than $10 per month for 500 minutes, 500 texts and 100mb data monthly. Only wait time is getting the SIM card, and refills are conducted online. I get to choose any provider I want, though Simless is only through Sprint.

I travel for my job so I have much experience with cell phone coverages, as I have used Verizon, Sprint and ATT.

AT&T - Current, 90/100 for coverage, price is not as good as some others but because of my unlimited plan I get directvnow for pretty fucking cheap which has allowed me to drop cable, all in all I like ATT the best.

Sprint, had these guys in early 2000's, garbage coverage, good plan and decent price, the lack of coverage outside of larger cities rendered Sprint near useless for me.

Verizon, by far and wide the best coverage I ever had, but the high priced billing and utterly incompetent billing made me RUN away from Verizon, even paying their early termination fee.

I have never had nor used the Walmart phne, I think it's called direct talk, but I know people who have it and they were more than pleased, was in a remote area of PA and my att S4 was most of the time left without signal, when I did get signal it was too weak for data, while my co-worker had his walmart phone posting selfies on fagbook and watching videos, he also only paid 55 a month. If I ever leave ATT I will be getting me a walmart phone, for sure.

No experience with other providers besides nextel and they are kaput.

T-mobile. I have 3 unlimited lines for $100/month, all taxes and fees inclusive. And they refund me $10 every month for each line that uses less than 1gb, so often I only pay $80/month.

That makes no sense at all. Cell towers are leased by carriers and usually carry more than just one carrier's signal. If a tower near you goes out, chances are you're going to lose the signal to all networks.

Switch to T-Mobile. Shit's great. Cheaper than my Verizon plan, gsm phones work, unlimited data, good coverage where I live, and pic related. Insanely nice bonus if you travel a lot, something like 140 countries

Verizon are niggers, can't believe I was with them for so long

>>61712062
Verzon has battery backups, and have assembled mobile towers during these occasions.

>>61708413
>>61708517
I work for AT&T we have line access fees also. Pretty sure unless you go prepaid you'll get them.

It's such an incredibly shitty policy, but there's nothing really illegal about it. You can bitch until you're blue in the face that you didn't know about it or whatever, but at the end of the day they're "not doing anything wrong".

Line access fees were a roundabout way to increase prices back when verizon was getting ready to buy out vodafone. They needed to increase revenue so they could increase the amount of money to could raise for the buy out. Now that line access fee pretty much pays the loan and bond interests.

Verizon has ~$130B in debt, they're going to find more ways to increase prices.

>>61714413
That's the shittiest fucking excuse to jew customers.

T-Mobile doesn't do that shit.

>>61714413
Verizon has also bought a shit ton in the last few years.

>>61708313

Unless you are financing your phones (which lol) just use Verizon prepaid like I do. I pay $45 per month for 3gb, unlimited talk & text, and $0.75 for e911 crap which not every state has, and that's literally it no line access fees or any bullshit like that. In fact it'll soon be cheaper since I'm going to switch to the new $40 plan which is the same amount of everything but adds rollover data. Phone is a used Turbo 2 that I got for $180 last fall from Fleabay, been working great. There's no real reason to be postpaid anymore, there's even an $80/mo unlimited prepaid option.

>>61714589
It's not an excuse it's modern business. Everytime you read about company X buying company Y for $Zbillion you as the consumer will pay for it.

For example look at Energizer batteries when Warren Buffet bought the brand for whatever he paid the costs of Energizer batteries went up even though the quality remained the same. These companies pile on debt and then pass the cost to the consumer with no improvements.

But reading this thread it's something else?
You even have to pay it if you bought your phone separately?

>>61715425
>not using the promocode that reduces the sim card from $25 to $0.99

It's been around for like 10 years now. Idk why they still charge $25 for one other than the fact that they see it as a stupidity tax.

>>61715835
Promo codes are just a way to trick Goyim into thinking they made a great deal when in fact they are paying full price because everyone can use them.

ie:
Charging $1 for a SIM might anger the Goyim.
But charging $1 for a SIM while claiming it's actually worth $25 makes even the most frugal Goyim happy.

>>61715425
$25 once per phone is not a fucking jew scheme

That's unacceptable.

I mean, they're completly seperate, they're owned by the same parent company, Verizon Communications.

Every single gigabit provider in the country is the same and they've been operating for years without getting sued.

The limit is the 1gbps NICs in the ONT, Router, switches, and your computers.

TCP/IP packet overhead is 5.5% so 1000mbps, take 5.5% of that is 55mbps, you're left with ~945mbps at most.

Literally how?
He'd have to spend $1000+ just to upgrade to 10gbps NICs and router just to take advantage of anything over 945mbps.

This isn't even mentioned FiOS doesn't currently deploy ANY ONT hardware that is capable of outputting more than 945mbps (because of the 1gbps ethernet NIC)


So you want Verizon to deploy hardware that doesn't yet exist, and you want him to spend $1000 to upgrade his internal network just to get another ~55mbps?

Get a "dumb" prepaid phone for like $20 and the prepaid plan for like 40 a month with unlimited talk with $1.99 usage fee and cheap txt (like 0.2 cents per) plus rollover. We got that damn 911 fee here but still even with that my monthly bill is like $35. All I need, just talk and occasional txting. Talk as long as I want for like $1.99. or send a txt for 0.2 cents. Which I don't do a lot of. Most people just send me a damn e-mail or I see them around.

I work for t-mobile so I sound like a shill but here are some facts:

>>61708313
OP if you ditch Verizon, t-mobile has a literal promotion that if you port in your numbers to us we will pay off any amount you have left to pay on your devices and any early termination fee up to $650 for each line for up to like 12 lines.

If t-mobile is paying people thousands of dollars just to leave verizon you know how dogshit those people over there really are.

I work with in the promotions team ask me anything

>>61718976
this assumes you aren't a poorfag since you'll have to pay the termination fees yourself out of pocket, Tmobile simply reimburses you after you switch.

>>61718775

I was getting 45/hr with benefits and I was eventually bought out. They overhired and essentially gave me 10 years of pay for leaving now, plus a pension and continued health benefits.

And I was a call rep.

>>61718976
>>61719020
VZW bro here, we do the same thing except requiring a trade-in of your current devices. And just like T-Mobile, you still have to pay off everything yourself, since the pre-paid Visa cards that cover everything don't arrive for another 4-8 weeks.

>>61719033
Jesus, how did it get that high? I've heard of reps switching in and out of different positions, and the company had to make some of their commission pay a part of their new hourly. One of our inventory people (before the company let all of them go) was making $24 an hour.

>>61719106
I've been retired for 8 years now. I was hired during the initial hiring craze when Ma Bell was broken up into Bell Atlantic back in the 80s. My pay continued to rise over the years as we changed from Bell Atlantic into Verizon when we acquired GTE.

I was promoted to position where I flew to Boston everyday while living in NYC. But 9/11 fucked that up and made it infeasible. So I settled back down to call rep, especially since I had a kid. Verizon agreed to whatever pay I stated. In hind sight, I should've said more than what I asked.

What were doing now is sending virtual cards where if you submit for the reimbursement when you switch over you can get the full early termination fee and device financing as a virtual card either the same day or 10-15 days later.

>get my $75, and ~$3000 account credit

It's all who you get. Don't like your results? Call again. And again. Until you get it, and more.

>>61719397
You're not wrong, if you have an actual grievance they aren't fixing, just keep bitching until you find someone who will fix it.

If you're making up shit to try and get free shit you'll likely be ignored forever however. You usually need a real situation that should require attention, like your $75 bullshit they should've just paid you immediately instead of telling you to piss off. It was obvious you were in the right, and so when you showed you wouldn't drop the issue they really had no choice but to pay up and try to sweeten the deal so you don't continue making a big deal out of it.

DON'T. I have Sprint, and holy shit is their coverage atrocious. I can't make or receive a damn call anywhere outside city limits of most towns here in Texas, and Texas has tons of road that aren't reach a city for about 30+ miles at a time, so if my car seppukus on the road I'm fucked unless I can wave down a passerby.

Spoiler alert: it's happened to me before.

I also work in a company that's located right outside city limits, so imagine my joy when I have to drive for an hour with no city in sight and no signal, get to work and have no signal for 8 hours, then drive back home again with no signal. 10 hours EVERY DAY that I can't actually use my phone.

God bless grandfather plans and company phones. I would have dropped this horse shit provider by now if I didn't have both of these things. Oh but of course Sprint tries ways to fuck me over and other grandfather plan customers so every now and again when they have a promotion with a new plan going on they try to make me "upgrade" to a new plan; one time the stupid Indian who called me tried to pull a fast one on me and tried to get me off my plan despite telling them to fuck off. Didn't even notice until next day I get an email saying I got the new plan. Had to give them shit until they put me back on the old one.

TL;DR: Sprint's shit especially in Texas. They may be cheaper but their coverage reflects that.

I want a more modern data plan for the same or a very slightly greater price.

This Verizon pay as you go plan looks really nice. I'd assume there's no $20 line access fee since it's prepaid. I do have to buy some sim card for it but it's a one time fee. I think unused data rolls over for a month or two and then expires. It almost looks too good to be true. What's the catch?

I'd just figured all Telcomms were shit and it really didn't matter. Kinda like cable companies, they're all interested milking as much money out of you and providing as little as they can legally get away with in return.

I went to T-mobile a year or two ago and asked them about upgrading my plan and they pretty much told me there was no way I was going to get the data I wanted on a no contract plan for under $60/mo plus fees. Maybe that has changed now but at the time they were giving me nothing. My other issue with T-mobile is the shitty coverage. In most areas of CT it's fine but occasionally I go up North and as soon as I hit Litchfield county no service. I won't get service again until I hit Pittsfield or Albany and after that it's basically nothing to the Canadian border outside of maybe one or two random towns. Absolutely useless. At least Verizon actually has better coverage and covers most of that area.

I'll check out T-mobile again before I decide. I trust I won't be forced to buy a phone from whatever carrier I choose and will be able to use my Moto G5+?

go with MintSim

>>61720441
To add to this anon's post: Sprint uses CDMA as well.

>Why is this important?
Because if you want bring your own phone CDMA providers won't let you because they require provider-specific phones. GSM doesn't have this restriction.

So, good luck trying to use an Xperia XZ Premium on Sprint.

I went to verizion and it took them ages to activated it. Went though the import process and everything and when they went to check out the sim card it told them its incompatible with my phone. Long story short they had to activate the sim card in a demo iphone and then put it in my phone.

>>61720576
With CDMA it's only if the carrier lets you, usually meaning they also have to have the phone available to sell. GSM lets you use any GSM you want, even ones that aren't sold by your carrier. So in the case of Sony's phones (which they sell themselves, not through any carrier) you can only use them with GSM carriers.

I'm not entirely sure. GSM carries will probably allow it. CDMA would most likely say no because they really want you to buy or lease the phone through them. You'll have to Google it for a definitive answer.

>>61720716
Depends on the phone

>>61718005
are you required to shill permalocked phones unless the customer asks for unlocked?

>I fucking hate this company. Aside from charging an arm and a leg, they are charging me a fucking "smartphone access fee". Whatever the fuck that is.

THIS is good advice

if you don't travel a lot and are in a larger city I would say yes.

>>61717949
Red Pocket is dead-bottom. There's another one, Speedtalk, If you live in or near a city, choose Lycamobile as they have stores if you need help.

>implying

Both are primarily T-Mobile MVNOs, so all support is offloaded to them in exchange for low prices. Ditto for MintSIM >>61720539

>>61719916
T-Mobile is improving, it is about AT&T-tier now.

I use the walmart family plan and pay $30 a month. Had to buy an unlocked phone though

Back when I was in America my family was on the Share Everything plan, and I personally could only use about 650 MB per month before they start charging. Do they still make you pay by minute if you go above the data limit in America? Just wondering.

>>61708313
Hey I have a good idea let's all pay to use websites or have them run slower, Take down net neutrality

My dad actually goes out of his way to tell people in Verizon stores they are assholes. That's How I know Verizon is a piece of shit company.

Give me a reason I should not switch to Verizon's $40 prepaid plan with the unlimited talk/text and 3GB of data.

I can't fathom how they'd hit me with additional charges when the plan is prepaid. Am I likely to get fucked over or is this relatively safe?

>tfw $0 a month ATT mvno

>>61723994
Because you can get Straight Talk for $45 a month with 8gb of data. Get a CDMA phone and you'll get Verizon service. If you have the money saved up, you can purchase a whole year of service for $450, which works out to $38 a month before taxes.

>>61724744
Shit that does look good. Looks like coverage is excellent too. It'll work with a Moto G 5+ right?

it's just limited to 128kbps or some shit

>>61725021
I don't see why not. You just have to buy their Sim card kit.

Straight Talk customer service is pure dogshit. You get routed through a phone tree to a bunch of Poos and it takes 30-40 minutes to find someone you understand. You don't really have to deal with them anymore though, everything is self service.

Its not too bad. It used to be 5gb for $45, but they just increased it. If you want more, you can get 12gb for $55. I've been on it for 4 years without any complaints.

>>61718246
I use ting for my laptop's data since it's the cheapest I could find
$6/mo to keep the line open is literally nothing, and if I need more data I just pay for it

>>61725021
>>61725063
(cont)

They have service from AT&T and Verizon. If you activate a GSM sim, you get AT&T. If you activate a CDMA sim, you get Verizon.

Theres no startup costs other than the $15 sim package. You might be able to find a deal online. I know a few years back they ran a special for .99 sim cards.

I buy a year in advance, but I'm also enrolled in the auto refill program so that if I ever forget to refill I'll still have service.

>>61725063
I probably would have been fine with the 3GB from Verizon desu but if I can get more for about the sane price I'll gladly take it. And it doesn't really matter if the customer service is shit. I doubt I'll have to interact with then much if at all. All I really want is better data than I have now, good coverage, and a good price.

>>61725117
Yeah, the price is the same for straight talk, the service is the same, but you get 5gb more.

It's bizarre to me that Verizon sublets their network to other carriers cheaper than they do to their own prepaid customers. I guess people are willing to pay more to avoid the stigma of the prepaid brands?

>>61725143
I'm glad prepaid plans are a stigma then. That's a steal for anyone who realizes that kind of plan exists. Its the perfect plan for a single person with single phone.
