If I am looking at everything, it looks like Verizon is changing our contracts that are set forth by Alltel, and when you signed your contract that is what you signed, verizon has no right to be changing this, if you do not accept these new changes to your contract, you may be able to drop verizon and go to a new company because verizon is breaking your contract. It will not matter if they are doing this cheaper or anything, they are still breaking this. It also looks like verizon roaming rates are $.45 /min, and my alltel contract states that I am to pay $.40/min, but on Sept 24, this will be changing and verizon will be incharge of that. So If you are looking for a way to get out of your contract, right here is your chance to do that.
Please Spread the word, and tell any Alltel user about this, Verizon is not a good company, they over price stuff and it just is not good. i am looking to switch, and I will use this here to get out of the ETF. I am planning on buying an HTC Leo when I can, and going to ATT. I am not going to be staying with Verizon at all.
