I started out with AT+T for about 2 years but they had poor service so I went to the big V and never looked back.

I dont know when it actually started but i got my plan two years ago, go to the verizon store and get more info on it, i believe all i had to do was provide a letter written from my chief stating i was a fireman and i believe the discount is 10-15% off your monthly bill. It saves me a lot of money i know that!

do they do that for all rescue personnel or just firemen? my dad's a volunteer EMT, its probably worth looking into since we have 4 lines on our plan..
I have verizon. I want the iPhone so bad, but can't justify the switch from verizon because everyone i talk to also has them.

I have TMobile....got it for the reason that 'family' all had it, so it was FREE to talk to each other.
MEH
Now we don't talk to each other  And I'm tired of their billing process (tel you you're overdue, bomb your phone with calls for days, THEN send you your bill online days later
PLUS....when I worked ALL OVER NJ....my fone didn't work in MANY places....so they gave us a work fone (Verizon) that seemed to be pretty good. I will say I get an email from TMobile about once a month where they're upgrading coverage and add in 4+ towers each time....so they're trying.
But I have Verizon at home and zero issues.....
Emergency Services discount with Sprint in my town too....but the owner is a FD guy anyways.I just can't see getting butt raped to get a discount in the first place

Me and my g/f have a family plan together with Verizon. When we first got the plan, instead of putting both our phones on one account, they decided to put our phones on two accounts. In that process, they decided to charge me for activation fees for two accounts instead of one. This wouldn't have been a problem, had they just fixed it at first. I immediately told them what had happened, and they said, "it is taken care of." of course it wasnt, so this went on for like 4 months, and I called after each bill, and was told something different every time. They do tell me not to pay the 2nd bill though. So, finally, I'm pissed off and I chew the lady out, because I'm tired of receiving two goddamn phone bills. A week later, I get a letter saying they are sending my information to a collection agency.
If I could keep my phone number, I'd be switching back to AT&T. I don't get crap for service in my girlfriends house, and i'm still bitter about the whole two account mishap.
I don't have anything nice to say about Verizon. Their service isn't extrordinary. It's not any better than AT&T. Well, in my area anyway. I'm basically still with them because 1. I'm stuck in a dumb contract, that i went for so I wouldn't get raped when getting a cell phone 2. because I don't want a new number

verizon service 10/10
dealing with the people in the verizon store 1/10
I discovered that at verizon you never have to pay full prices for their phones, and you don't have to pay for a warranty as long as you are willing to spend alot of time arguing.

I had Verizon for my work phone, but the company recently switched to Sprint. I travel all over the country for my job and with Verizon I always had service, but with Sprint it's in consant roam.
