I'm plenty happy with the voice/text part of Verizon which is where I feel they deserve my dollars. I'd like to pay them for that service. If they want to upgrade data services on their network I think they should charge those people who want to use it for those services. That's only fair. It goes back to the whole subsidy thing...why should me a "voice" user need to subsidize the "data" users if I won't be using that part of the Verizon network.
I appreciate your Sprint suggestion though. My cousin has 4 phones with Sprint with everything etc. and it really is a good deal to get all of the mobile numbers free no matter what network. My reservation is that Sprint in the past hasn't had the best voice network (which I obviously use a lot) for me in the past before I used Verizon. Maybe the coverage and call quality has improved but I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I believe Verizon still has the best coverage also is why I want to stick with their towers.

Sprint offers free roaming, therefore if you can't get a signal then you will use Verizon's towers to talk at no additional costs. So essentially sprint and Verizon have the same service.
