We are usually paying 150 mo (complete, taxes etc included) using nearly the full 1400 minutes (and each line fluctuates a lot on a month by month basis) we also tend to use about 3-4000 vzw-vzw and/or night/weekend mins (we know a lot of vzw customers). So far there has only been 1 month that I should have added the 500 text plan for 5$. We have excellent reception everywhere we go.
Now I could be wrong, but every time I have looked, even w/ sero I have not been able to beat that price.
I have had the same account for 21 years (granted it was w/ ameritech before vzw bought them out). I would change if given a good reason. They also have a reasonable customer service dept. I have always been satisfied w/ every outcome with cs.
Last, I may be getting a better price too, they offer an emplyee discount for those from my wifes job of 20%... 120 sounds nice

I use Sprint now, but my family still uses Verizon. I had added a 22% corporate discount on my VZW line a couple years ago and its still there. Unfortunately they only apply that discount to specific aspects of the bill. For me it discounted only the main line charge and the additional line charges. Didn't discount the insurance, texts and obviously the taxes/surcharges, which add up to quite a lot on the bill. It was nice to have a discount, but I found myself still paying $120+ for 4 lines of service with no data, no texts and only 700 minutes. Cutting my line saved about $20-30 and its now under a 100$.
The SERO plans most of us talk about is long gone. Its now a different breed of offers that is about twice as much as the original SERO was. Had you gotten in on the old deal, I guarantee you, you would've paid less and still gotten more.
I have used both Sprint and Verizon for years in both New York City and Boston and found service to be exactly the same. I can't attest to the more rural areas, but I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon beat out Sprint in many areas.
The only thing about having Sprint is that none of my friends have Sprint and I have to rely on my Favorite 3 to cut down on minutes, 90% of my calls are to only a couple numbers anyway, haha.
