TODAY I dumped AT&T wireles:}

[Cochise]

I have been with Verizon since it was Centurytell, lol, and I have always LOVED making fun of my dumb friends with AT&T. There are so many places where you cannot get any reception with AT&T that I get perfect reception with Vz. Hell, I even got reception when I went down to Tiujuana!

As to phones: Unless you are a technologically minded person, you don't really want a smart phone. They can be kind of dumb at times and it can take some skill to get them to act right. Casio makes some phones that are darn near indestructible. That is what my dad carries and he loves it.

When you go to the Verizon store, ask them to point you to the drop proof water resistant phones, you won't regret it.

I'm about to dump ATT internet. It flat out sucks now. It used to be great--NO connectivity issues. Now? DC every 30-45 minutes for 30-60 seconds at a time--just enough to dick up anything I am doing like online gaming or upload/downloads.

Dumped them 7-8 years ago and went to Verizon. One of the best things I have ever done.

 

[troy_mclure]

ive had them for 7 years now, and have 5 lines thru them.

i am seriously considering dropping them when my last line comes free this spring.

so many issues, such bad customer service. ill prolly go back to verison.

Just recently dumped ATT and went with Verizon. I'm beyond pleased with Verizon so far. My fiancee' and I both got the Droid Razr Maxx
Love the phone. Awesome battery life and crazy fast. Here's a tip. If you decide to go with Verizon, set up your account through Amazon Wireless. The phones are discounted a great deal. Verizon wanted $299 for the Razr Maxx. We paid $99

The only thing you may want to watch out for is the data charges. I don't think Verizon OR ATT are offering unlimited plans anymore if you aren't grandfathered in

Well believe it or not A$$T&T switched my plan for me from unlimited at the first of the month! Ironically I was notified, last night I get an email that I'm about to go over on my data plan...Can't wait for Best Buy to open to dump the turds:}

On phone with them now!!

 

[Skiney]

LOL OK here's the latest....

Somehow I've been grandfathered in on the UNLIMITED PLAN NOW since I spoke to them yesterday. What I have is a SOFT REMINDER that I am approaching my data limit of 5 GIGS IF I WEREN'T on the UNLIMITED plan.

Pile it higher and deeper lol

Gotta love A$$T&T

I started to drop calls left and right w att starting this summer, data was great sometimes, 28.8k at others. - i have a 4g phone and usually 4-5 bars.. went to the warranty place to make sure my phone wasn't messed up - it wasn't. turns out they could see i was dropping calls bc the towers are degraded - they oversold their network, and the towers can't handle it.

should finally have time to call them today.

Had ATT since it was bellsouth wireless and ditched them a year ago for verizon. No complaints and I did it just in time to get grandfathered in to the unlimited data.

 

[LACamper]

We switched a few years ago to Verizon. I got sick of dropped calls when I was on the road. Or no coverage at all actually... When I complained to AT&T their answer was that in the city their coverage is better and couldn't care less about in between I switched.

I have a Casio Commando and I can safely say it is the tuffest cell phone I have ever seen.It has no otter box because it has its own built in.I have dropped it hundreds of times from heights higher than 5 ft.Never had a screen protective film and it still has no scraches on it at all.It is truly waterproof.I test that every day durring the rainy season.

Well finally dupmed AT&T toady on wireless internet card and phone.

They did INTERUPT my service on the internet device but just as a reminder I needed to swith off of the UNLIMITED PLAN that it seems I didn't have after all, although three feriners said I did lol...
Anyway bye bye At&T hello the big V

So ah far so good:} Oh I saved $53.00 per month with Big V's Share paln too>>>> I like DAT me!

Thanks for all the feed back..Peace B with U!

Welcome to the side of good, brother. You will enjoy it far more than AT&T. It is true, though about the unlimited data plan. I have it on my phone because I've had mine for a year and a half, but if I wanted to move to a share plan, I'd have to give it up. Might not be so bad for me, since my wife and I combined go through less than 4GB data a month.

Seems a lot of people here are making my decision easier. My contract is up around November and it looks like I should start looking at Verizon. Did anyone port their existing mobile numbers from AT&T to Verizon or did you just take new numbers?

 

[USMC-Deano]

I've had my same number through Cingular/AT&T, Sprint, and now VZW. I've had it since late 2003, early 2004.

 

[1911Dave]

I have the same number now as I did in 1998 sinc before AT&T was Cingular. It was Bellsouth then.

 

[themcfarland]

I hate the sound that cdma gives you or I would swap, I can almost get the service for free but I hate the compression.. and I hate att more, and I spend a lot of money with them but have unlimited everything, and 5 lines..

Walked into the Verizon store, they transferred all my contacts from the old phones to the new, deactivated AT&T, enabled the new phones with the same numbers, and walked out. It took awhile, with all the setup etc. for a brand-new account and 3 lines, but went perfectly smoothly.
