I received an email from Verizon Wireless -“The Best Network. Now at a Better Price.”
What’s NEW? Unlimited Calling is now more affordable than ever!
- Talk as much as you want to anyone, anytime, on any U.S. network
- No Domestic Roaming or Long Distance charges
- No more counting minutes, peak periods or overages
- No contract renewal required to change plans
Add Unlimited Text, Picture, and Video Messaging for just $20/month!
So I’m thinking, this is great, I might be able to lower my cell phone costs enough to maybe upgrade to a Blackberry. Those data plans will get you and I really don’t know how some people can afford the cost.
So I pop over to verizonwireless.com and log into my account. I’m ready to start saving some money! If anything an unlimited calling plan would really be beneficial to us. Right now I pay $90 for the Nationwide Select Share 700, plus $9.99 for a second line. Add on the, Fed Universal Service Charge, Regulatory Charge, Administrative Charge, AL State E911 Fee, AL State Cellular Srvc Tax and it comes out to $109.74 a month IF we don’t send any pictures to Facebook. That causes the data Megabyte Usage to kick in.
I’m trying to figure how to find these new plans, I know I’m on an older plan that probably needs to be updated, but good grief. I see a plan that would be more like a lateral move, converting my current Nationwide Select Share 700 plan to the Nationwide Talk & Text Family SharePlan® – it has the with Unlimited free calls to 10 Friends & Family members – all for the same $99.99 a month that I am currently paying. If I want to go to the Unlimited plan it would be $149.99 a month.
Since that doesn’t save “me” anything, the unlimited plan is not in my future nor is the Blackberry I’ve always wanted. I do have to give props to Verizon Wireless, for the most part I have been very satisfied with their service.
Think I will give them a call about converting my plan, in the mean time, I’m going to see what this MagicJack is all about.
