Hi Chief!
Hi Chief!
Wow, can you believe that it's been almost 3-1/2 hours since the last post in here?
Yeah, insane! I thought surely the forum is down or something...
Well it's not: and don't call me Shirley!
HAHAHA you crack me up Chief!
Yeah, sometimes I crack myself up, but I'm usually alone and try not to tell many people about that...
Well, time to go do Guidely duties, talk to me later!
Yeah, I'm off to watch Return of the Jedi and wrap up the saga before son moves tomorrow - YAYYYY
Bye Chief!
Bye Chief!

Seems like this article nails it.

The facts of the plan, combined with the discussion by the CFO saying they expect to see higher profits, proves to me that they know this is more expensive than existing plans for most people. I fully expect after another year or so they will do away with the existing plans for new customers, and a year after that, for everyone. They are trying to end minute and messaging tiers.

Agreed, Anti. I think that data is just overly taxing their network over voice and text so that's why unlimited should be the new norm.
When I do upgrade, I'll take a much harder look at other carriers. DC has great coverage for all of them.

The_Chief · Jun 14, 2012

Good morning folks!

Some article:

"The plan will work best for a family with several smartphones or a technology-savvy user with multiple 3G and 4G devices, she said."

I don't know what she smoked for breakfast, but I have four 3G/4G smartphones and am tech-savvy... and the new plan's gonna cost me close to $80/mo more. If that's the "best" Verizon can do... I will do everything in my power to stay on my current plan. Full retail here I come!

To be fair Chief, I don't think they are considering the uber-discount you are getting

Happy Birthday svt!

In training all day today. Probably won't be around a whole lot. Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Okay, okay... even taking my uber-discount out I barely break even. Roughly $300/mo phone bill. My only benefit in it all is unlimited calls. Woo hoo. Don't need that.

Happy Birthday svtGeek!

What do you think of Verizon's $80 dollar plan for all you can eat. The concern is only a gig of data. Seems like we'll piow through that in no time. I"m still unlimited until what, 18 months away.

I'm with the Chief on this, free calls, no thanks. Spend all day on it anyway.

Like being married to a nynphomaniac. Everybody wants it until you have to accomodate them, day in, and day out.

No disprespect intended, to you out there.

Good morning all - today is my Friday, woohoo!

Packing some more tonight and starting the move tomorrow. Using my car and my girlfriend's dad's pickup truck. Should be able to do it in 2-3 trips and it saves us money from renting a truck for the weekend.

Happy birthday svt!!

ryancmatchett · Jun 14, 2012

Happy Birthday SVT!!
And a happy Thursday to all....have a great day!!
Last day of covering for other people, I hope. And should have that cabinet about 75% done by bedtime. The only thing left after tonight will be staining...I hope.

Happy Birthday geek!

On the topic of Share Everything: we could save money if our data consumption never changes. But what if we go from using 3GB combined a month to something outrageous? We get overages and regret ever changing plans. I once used 5GB myself going crazy when a hacked Netflix made it to the LG Ally. Thank you unlimited data!

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Hi/bye Chief!

Copacetic · Jun 14, 2012

Happy Birthday SVT! This move by verizon definitely would cost me more. We have only one smart phone, my husband is not into tech and does not want one (course he says why does he need one when he has me?), we hardly use any minutes or texts (he does not text either) and I have unlimited data. Btw, go into a verizon store and you might see one dumb phone, the push is heavy for the smart phones. Verizon really is our only choice. I keep hubby in a waterproof casio g shock phone, he can sink it, drop it, even run it over, and it's fine!
