My net ten phone has 9987 minutes left and I have 115 service days. I use about 10 minutes a month. I buy 6 months service with 1500 minutes for $100. That’s about $17 a month just in case I hit another deer. Earlier this year I was able to transfer about 9000 unused minutes (that I had racked up in addition to the almost ten thousand I have already noted above)to a new phone for my husband but he never used it and is now out of service days. I am not going to buy him more service days and we will waste all those minutes worth ten cents each.

I had Verizon @ $88/mo for 5 years and found it to be a huge rip-off. I'm paying 39/mo unlimited with T-mobile (walmart version), and was out in the boonies today, middle of the desert, playing internet radio all day.

I’m only paying six bucks a month more than you with the Verizon straight talk phone, and looking at the map you provided it wouldn’t be wise to switch. Huge gaps in the coverage where I live.

Where’s your RF Verizon map? I’d bet it looks like swiss cheese too. Put your money where your mouth is. $6 a month = a million bucks in mutual funds at retirement.

Only one dot in my state. Big whoopdedoo. Since I’ve now had them both; one major thing I did notice about Verizon vs. T-moble is the salespeople with Verizon, without fail, every single time I’ve been in their stores have the worst breath! Not so with T-mobile salespeople I’ve spoken to. If Verizon is so superior, perhaps they should offer dental insurance to their sales employees (or big bowls of free Verizon breath mints).

Oh my. Bad breath even.
With StraightTalk you don’t have to deal with Verizon salespeople at all. No contract. Just pay the monthly fee at Walmart or online.

You haven't tried T-mobile; I've tried both. With Verizon, I experienced 5 years of dropped calls, sometimes the phone would ring, and sometimes not, texts would funnel through the NEXT DAY all at once, and those non-stop 'Your Bill Is Ready!" Texts would appear, even after 3 calls to CS, and their agreement to stop the texting. Smelly and arrogant staff at the Verizon store, as if they were so superior because they _thought_ their network was 'faster', I should just stand there and smell their
bogality.
With T-mobile NO DROPPED CALLS, Texts arrive when they are sent, internet radio plays in places Verizon did not have a signal, and it is less expensive. Your phone works with Verizon, period. My T-mobile phone can work with AT&T and other GSM networks if I want to change carriers.
Take it from a certified Goron ; T-Mobile is superior to Verizon in every way. Don't be fooled by bogus maps and arrogant sales staff. Anyone foolish enough to buy into the Verizon lie, deserves to pay more per month, have their calls and data funneled to the 'en ess ay' without consent, and stay locked into the Verizon zombie cult forever!
