Leaving Verizon and Headed to Sprint (Rainbow Mafia Alert)
Mathews | 06/27/2018 | Mathews

Posted on 06/27/2018 6:19:27 AM PDT by Mathews

We are Verizon customers and have been for about eight years.

Was watching the tube with the family last night when a Verizon commercial came on showing kids making the "coming out" call to their parents... My ten year old was watching. The commercial ended with Verizon endorsing and throwing their support towards an Organization calling itself PFLAG which stands for Parents, Friends, Families and Friends of the LQBTQ.

We called Sprint this morning... I have four new Galaxy S7s headed my way, I'm saving $90.00 per month, unlimited data and Sprint is paying off what we owe Verizon.

I know Sprint most likely supports organizations like this too, but I haven't seen any indoctrination commercials on television, yet. If we do, we'll find another vendor.

Just thought some folks would want to know.

Please DON’T switch to Sprint. We have Sprint. Lousy coverage, jacked my bill up $25 last month out of the blue. Horrible customer support. If changing, look at one of the other carriers.

They all support these types of causes, so pick a carrier that gives you the best customer service at the cheapest price. (Yes, we are looking at other carriers as well).

They’ve been pushing a rainbow-ized version of their logo on social media.

I’d love to see the parents respond: ‘Screw whomever you like but don’t pretend it elevates you to some higher plane of being. In fact, you’ve just amped up your chances to suffer loneliness, broken relationships, domestic abuse, substance abuse and depression. So rotsa ruck.’

Always always always use the acronym “LGBTQjudenrein”.
It’s who they are, and since the march for women they have been open about it.

The Big corporations have swallowed PC hook line and sinker. There is a company running 3-4 different commercials now with all mixed race couples, as if that were the norm. Odd.

Crap, I left ATT yesterday and went Verizon. Crap. I need a bailout.

You can save $90.00 but get very little coverage especially when and where it is needed for me (on country roads). Sprint is OK if you never leave the city.

I was high up in Sprint. They are a client of mine still.

Don’t use Sprint. Plus Sprint has done it’s fair share of gay ads and stuff too.

And don’t use a contract anymore. It’s an endless vortex of money.

Yikes... I was with Sprint for a good 15 years before switching over to Verizon. We switched because of the lousy coverage, but kinda figured that had all been worked out over the past 8 years. Fingers crossed... Thanks for the heads up.

I did hear something about a Patriot service on Patriot 125 during the Breitbart time slot on Xirius FM. Maybe we should have looked at that too. Can’t imagine their service would be all that great though.

I switched to AT&T for cell. I found their coverage in the Northeast to be somewhat worse than Verizon’s. But, on the upside, the billing was understandable, and they didn’t seem to be laying traps to trick you into excess charges, like Verizon. And, prices were better. Also, AT&T uses GSM instead of CDMA, so the phones can be used anywhere, even internationally. You can swap SIMs, too, if you go through their online routine to unlock the phones.

There’s also T-Mobile, which some of the people I worked with before I retired liked. They claimed decent coverage and lower bills. But, I’d request more input from FR users around the country before deciding who to pick.

Sprint and T-Mobile may merge if approved by gov. Looks like approval may get through.

Sprint is a large supporter (as are most corps) of LGBT. Six of one, or half a dozen of another. No one has watched TV commercials in over a decade.

In Texas, Sprint basically has zero coverage, so it's not an option for us.

This is what I don’t get, what’s to be proud of?

I don’t know why these big corporations flagrantly support PC and non-conservative values as it eventually will lead to cutting their potential customer market IN HALF.

Smaller cell phone companies don’t have their own networks. They use one of the big ones. Patriot apparently uses Sprint. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_mobile_virtual_network_operators

That would assume 100% of conservatives take action or care... they don't.

I work for a large sponsor of the NFL, and from a social media perspective, we barely saw a blip of negativity about the NFL's shenanigans and rolled in record profits during the same time period.

If conservative protests or boycotts occurred, they weren't enough to even notice.

Sad, but true.

At&t was one of the earliest supporters of the homosexual agenda...going back to the mid 1970s when it wasn’t even on the radar screen. (They added even then an anti-discrimination clause in their language)

You left out medical issues, which are extremely prevalent in the homo community.

Beware of “roving” charges from Sprint.
