Back in March, I qualified for a Verizon Wireless cell phone...my first non-prepaid phone of my adult life. So far, I have been pleased with the service. My wireless coverage always works when and where it is supposed to, and the one time there was a problem with my phone, a representative at the Verizon Wireless store promptly replaced my phone and fixed the problem.
Just about everything is better with Verizon than Virgin Mobile, my previous prepaid cell phone provider. The one thing that is definitely NOT better is the price, though. With Virgin Mobile, I was paying about $45 per month for all the data and voice minutes I need. With Verizon, to get the same amount of data, I am paying $100 per month just for my cell phone service.
I don't know about you, but paying $100/month for my cell phone just seems absolutely outrageous to me. And the way the Verizon Wireless plans are set up, they penalize people who only have one phone by charging them the most per line. My guess is this applies to the majority of Verizon subscribers.
I was able to get a 10% discount on my Verizon bill because I am an employee for Darden restaurants....but this has lowered my bill to a still-high $90. Verizon....I love your service, but I sure do hate your prices. I still have another 18 months in my Verizon contract....I'm hoping that at the end of my cell phone term I'll be able to shop around a bit and find a better price.
