Re: Dont like it? DONT USE VERIZON... On T-Mo/AT&T, you can put in unlocked devices, and not have to purchase through VZW as an expensive process.
Also, AT&T, and Sprint, in my case offer good workplace discounts.
I just never liked Verizon Wireless.

Sure, it's easy to swap out SIM cards, that doesn't give a blanket license to just put whatever phone you want on whatever plan you want. |

These providers need to realize we pay for the service , and we should be allowed to use what ever we want on it.
If I was your friend I'd tell at&t to kiss off , I bought the phone and I pay for the service, nuff said.

As for paying for service - not quite. The phones are sold at heavy subsidy and you're paying for the cost of the device essentially on a 2 year installment plan.
So yes, you can swap SIMs in theory, but in practice the carriers still want control over what device you use. |
