If you drove up to the gas station and the attendent forced you to purchase the "premium" gas rather than the regular stuff just because you had a nicer car than the next guy you would look at him in bewilderment because of the rediculous logic. Same here with these debates which are taking place now.

Why does Verizon need to choose what's "best" for me? For years I determined what was best for me and now they insist that a data plan is also "best" for me. Stupid!

I'm glad you admit it is because of their hidden agenda to build up the towers, etc.
If they want to invest in infrastructure they should use their PROFITS to do it, take a little less so that users who want to pay for that portion of their service will do so on the merits that they NEED and will benefit from Verizon's sacrificial investment.

Until then........ Long live Page Plus Cellular=D>

But as I said I've been through all of this before and no one yet here can dispute the right and the wrong of this, which btw is why this kind of thing always ends up this way with nothing but crap.

But in the end all I have to say is, if you think I am so wrong and you are so right then let’s put that to the test.

Like I have always said, lets make this a choice and see what happens an let the results from that decide as after all if I’m so wrong then no one will dump there data plans and nothing at all will happen.

But you all know that’s not what would happened don’t you and by all of your very own zealousness to fight this you are by your very actions admitting just how much you know that, an how wrong you are, an proving me right every time with every word, as simply put, you all know just as much as the carries know as why else would they make this mandatory and take that choice away, that there would be a enormous amount of people that would dump this data plan in a heart beat an those are all the people that agree with me and know how wrong you an this is and as such then you would end up paying more for your precious data and that is what you are all really afraid off and why all your arguments end up being nothing but crap.

So simply put again, lets test if I’m wrong an you are right is, help get this optional an lets see what happens, but as long as you fight against that all you are doing is proving me right with every word and showing how deep down inside you all know it.

So go on banter an twist this all you want but until anyone of you are ready to prove that with what I am proposing, then none of that means anything.

Wow, is this Guy serious right now? You do realize all that is regulated by the government thru businesses like FCC and such? So obviously its not stealing so why would you want to bet me, I'm already right. You make it seem like this is something their in court for or something.

You do realize that the example you gave is perfectly legal. So if you're the person who's going to buy premium anyways its no problem.

Re: Data Plan Required

Sure, anything is legal.

I think WBFAir was really thinking that Verizon was using extortion to get peoples money.

Main Entry: ex·tor·tion
Pronunciation: \ik-ˈstȯr-shən\
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
1 : the act or practice of extorting especially money or other property; especially : the offense committed by an official engaging in such practice
2 : something extorted; especially : a gross overcharge
ex·tor·tion·er \-sh(ə-)nər\ noun
ex·tor·tion·ist \-sh(ə-)nist\ noun

But, like I said, Verizon is able to do what ever the hell they want. Until they morph into a monopoly they aren't doing anything illegal. We're free to jump around from carrier to carrier.

This is a valid point if view, I'm not arguing this.

Gee a point that is wrong which supports your opinion that stealing is right is something you agree with.

What a surprised.

With all due respect dtrush, if you read through the definition you listed it virtually precisely describes what the carriers have done.

An if you go back to the long explanations of that, that I have written, that is clearly correlated.

Carefully sg, kinda supporting the crap in crap out thing I was describing.

An btw its not the majority of my post that show red misspelled lines in the sections of quotes to reply.

Not that I don't make a goof or two but when you have to repeat virtually every 500 word post you make 10 times its bound to happen.

But I typically will catch most of those an make corrections.

RETARD says what?! Yeah lets make it optional...oh wait it already is you have the choice to buy a smartphone or nonsmartphone...duuuuhhhh! and notice you have nothing new to say and admit it...pete and repeat were sitting in a boat...pete fell out and who was left? Nobody here would drop their data plan...we dont all steal wifi like you!
