You are correct, but the thing that made me change is Verizon charged the same amount per month for 2 phones that only made and received calls. The signal has always been lousy at home (sometimes no signal) and there are to many areas that I would loose the signal. One of the areas is five corners in Easton, including Bay road (maybe 2 miles from my home); where I can see a cell phone tower at the intersection of 106 & 123 (which coincidentally sits on the property of a brother of a town official) and have no service.They also never brought fios to our neighborhood...enough is enough; they can supply someone else with mediocre over priced service.
I used to know someone who had one on his property and he refereed to it as a money tree because at the time the owner of the property got $2500 per month from the cell phone tower owner (it is probably more now this was during the 90's)
I get the same signal at home with Virgin mobile but we now have everything for $35/mo. per phone and no contract.
Sometimes I think about what impact this "be green" mentality has. For instance what about the people who used to be employed providing these manuals, the paper for these manuals etc.
We recycle at home which requires another fossil fuel burning truck to come rattling through the neighborhood early morning and pickup from the few houses that do recycle. Why? to save space in a land fill. Maybe these folks who come up with this save the landfill space crap should take a drive and see how much land is untouched in this country. How many times have you driven in areas where your not sure when you'll see another exit so you stop and fuel up to make sure you don't run out?
