Makes you wonder what secret MVNO Page Plus knows, to be able to have such
good customer relations themselves with Verizon :-) .

I've had nothing but the absolute BEST customer service from Verizon
(and T-Mobil as well!)

I took the phone and service to make and receive phone calls not find
ways to praise their customer service. Customer service is always
questionable. T-Mobil is Ok, a little pricy but their network is a
strong one.

Whoever is doing this, I don't appreciate editing posts -and adding
material- to make it look like I posted things that I did not
The example above, that I am replying to, looks -nothing- like what I
posted.
Here is the only post I made in this thread:

T-Mobile is the least expensive carrier for a comparable plan. Even
their postpaid plans or no more than anyone else, and much lower if
you bring your own phone. Unless it's you only phone the $30 plan is a
steal. Even if you use 200 minutes in a month, it only costs $40 with
unlimited text and 5GB data.

T-Mobile does not have a 4G network. They said that by 2013 they would.
"T-Mobile has tapped Ericsson and Nokia Siemens to build-out its 4G LTE
network. T-Mobile says it hopes to offer LTE in 75 percent of its 25
largest markets by sometime next year."
In reality, the first 5GB is 3G, the rest is 2G.
Once you have unlimited data you just install an app that lets you use
Google Voice over 3G, and you don't need more minutes. It's a very good
deal if you can live with T-Mobile coverage.
> T-Mobile is the least expensive carrier for a comparable plan.
Yes and no, it varies. When I switched to Verizon it cost me
$5.00/month more for a comparable plan but I got coverage where I
couldn't with T-Mobile so.... who's cheaper?
Note: Last I checked AT&T offered the same plan as I have for the same
price as Verizon but with less coverage and absolutely NO coverage
where I need it so, again, it all depends.
NOTE: I've heard folks say Sprint is the best deal but they don't seem
to offer much flexibility in their plans and if, like me, you don't
want/need all they offer they become the highest priced carrier!

They call it 4G. The wireless media calls it 4G. But no it is not LTE.
It also performs as well as Verizon's 4g on most smartphones.

I get much faster speeds than my friends with their Verizon 3G phones.
So call it whatever you want. The performance is there. It may not be
LTE, but it's pretty good and better than most 3G.

The various apps that use Google Voice or other servers to do VOIP
with your data plan vary from not very good to awful. It is usable,
but for the few minutes I may go over, if I ever do, I'd rather just
pay the dime.
Is Verizon better? Yes. Is it worth triple to cost? No.
