Well expect to either have some shitty reception in places or get f'd in the a yourself with Verizon. Can't stand the fuckers and I'm glad I've been rid of them for about 2 years.

Fallakin has had a negative experience with everything.

Verizon has been cool with me. I have had problems out of my chocolate phone and I wanted to get the new version that just came out, so I spoke with them and wound up getting them to let me go ahead and upgrade early. They refunded the purchase price of my original phone and credited that toward a new phone. They then charged the difference to my account instead of making me pay immediately, and shipped my new phone out today. Should have it tomorrow. (I'll post about the new phone tomorrow if anyone is curious.)

Oh, and Minute..

VZ Navigator is the fuckin shit. I LOOOOOVE it. I don't use it much, so I don't subscribe to it, but I've used it on trips and if you go past your turn or somewhere off course, it'll recalculate your path by pointing you back in the right direction. Also, Verizon has a premium plan now which includes mobile web, VCast, unlimited text messages to any network, and unlimited use of VZ Navigator. It's about 20 a month more than the select plans, but.. VZ Navigator is 10 a month and Vcast is 25 a month, so you're saving 15 bucks just by going with them.

iPhone: I am mesmerized by the phone. I really want one, but anytime I fall in love with pricey tech items I like to wait a few months to make sure I really like it as much as I think I do.

Cell phone companies: I have Cingular... err AT&T now. I have never had any problems with them and the few times I have been to the store or called them I have always had excellent service. The only other cell phone company I have had service with is Alltel. They raised the price of my plan from $50 to $80 a month during my contract and I told them to go to hell. I have been with Cingular the 5 years since then.

I worked for Sprint for about six months. They routinely screw their customers and have some pretty shitty policies. They aren't much better to their employees. Overages with Sprint are astronomical. While your plan might include unlimited roaming minutes, Sprint created "travel" minutes for placing calls outside you calling area on another providers towers that are not included. There is a spending limit on the amount the balance on your account can be. If you have bad credit (even though customers are to be told there is no credit check), then it is possible to create a calling plan that costs more per month than the spending limit on the account. In such a situation the customer would never be able to use her phone unless she pays two months in advance.

After using my brothers iPhone for 10 minutes I looked up how much I could sell a kidney for on ebay so I could buy one myself.

I've had no problems with Verizon. I have an XV6700. I am on their insurance plan, and my original phone (XV6600) got damaged, so they upgraded me for free.

Maddox on the iPohe - in the right place now.

Our family has been with Verizon for a couple years now. I get service everywhere. A lot of my friends with other companies are always amazed that my phone can get signal no matter what.

We are planning on switching service once our contract runs out though. Verizon is pretty expensive and we have had very shitty customer service experiences. The big complaints I hear about Verizon from friends is that they also have had horrible run ins with their customer service and that the phones usually suck.

I love how Maddox can be a total asshole and attempt to just make a mockery out of whatever he is talking about but still manage to make totally valid points that support his side completely.

Yeah, I've always loved his writing style. Probably my favorite thing done by him is the "How to spot a pedophile." http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net ... t_the_pedo

Sheik Ahmed Yassin

When I first saw this picture, Yassin looked really familiar. Then it hit me:

Holy shit! Sheik Ahmed Yassin is really Saruman from "Lord of the Rings!" It's hard not to cast judgement when seen in unfortunately suggestive photos like the one above. I guess a Hobbit could be considered a poor man's child if you were really hard up. Saruman spent all his time trying to get Hobbits. Yassin looks like Saruman, and is seen here trying to get some lip from strangely Hobbitesque a boy. Hmmm..

It's two different companies. Verizon wireless is a separate entity.

Personally, I would go outside and help them pull out my copper wiring for FiOS service.
