Yeah man...

You and i are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
I have the "Everything" plan, which includes unlimited minutes, but regardless, neither of us can use it.

it's obviously not for everyone... bummer

If I weren't on a family plan, I would be on the same one you are phattooth...I think that one is the best for an individual plan. I know you can't use this feature, but the fact that you have no need for it is great in itself!!!!

I know I don't 'need' this plan, but I am going to let each person on my plan pick a couple numbers 'out-of-plan' and tell them to go crazy with them....no harm in that!!!

The thing is though... I have the unlimited plan for me... i also have a 2 other lines on a family plan that use less than the minimum listed! and if i raised it to get this "feature", then i fall right into the aforementioned trap!

D'OH!
Double screwed!

OK... in that scenario, it works out well... and awesome for you! seriously!

I guess the way both of mine happen to work out for me just make me cynical.
With as much as i pay Verizon per month... they just don't always make me that dollar amount happy.

such is life.

I know what you mean, those plans aren't for everyone. I guess as long as you can find a setup that works for you that's all you can ask for! Believe me...I wish I could get the unlimited plan!! If I were on a single line, I would in a second!!!

P.S. I see you use lllboredlll's GPS fix....cool guy, I've dealt with him in a few forums (even found a binary converter to rib him with)!!!

Know matter how you slice it and dice it, Verizon is still the most expensive and controlling carrier in the world, they will give a little and take back more

They may be expensive in some aspects of their services, but I have never had a coverage issue, in all my years with them hardly a dropped call, and I have always had great customer service with VZW both in-store and on the phone, so to me at least, they are worth a few extra $$ for the reliable, satisfactory service/care I get!!

Have to agree. I have been with Sprint and T-Mobile. We switched back to Verizon about 5 years ago after seeing the difference. I drive a lot to see family and I need to know that when I am in the middle of Oregon, I can call if there's an emergency.

Veritech_910....I would be in the unlimmited in a flash if it weren't for my family plan, It really can't be beat, so don't feel bad about missing out on this, in your case...you have the better deal!! This plan is centered more on us family users really.

What Porkchop + Adrynalyne say ring true, you get what you pay for, and if VZW were nearly as bad as we sometimes (yes, even I rant on them) say, they wouldn't be as large, popular, or successful as they are!!
