AT&T Family Plan $160

[ylecyote]

So, Verizon, I have suspended my whole family's accounts.  I found that I get the same service from Straight Talk only considerably cheaper.  Now AT&T has even a more affordable plan.  Are you going to match it or keep loosing accounts?

[rcschnoor]

Why suspend? Why not cancel and simply go with the provider which best suits your needs?

[jroeder]

To answer your question, no they are not going to match it.

Good Luck

That plan from AT&T requires you to bring your own devices or purchase them at full price or sign up for the AT&T Next program which is similar to the Verizon Edge program.

Ann let them find out the hard way when they sign up they'll have to pay an extra $80-$120 a month for phones.

First question.  I wanted to try the Straight talk service before I completely switched so I suspended my Verizon before canceling.

Next.  No, phones are free or premium phones at a discount price just like Verizon but there is a 2 year contract if you need the phones.

I have not used the Verizon phones or been under contract for quite a few years.  I have Motorola Droid x2 phones that cost me less than $80 New.  I have to use Verizon CDMA towers though to get service where I live otherwise I would have already switched to AT&T.  Straight talk is still $60 per month cheaper than Verizon with 2.5GB/phone high speed and unlimited 1x after that.

Verizon is just too high, they will have to compete with AT&Ts plan at some point.

[ylecyote]

Not true, free and discounted, same as verizon.

[ylecyote]

Ah, you are more right than I thought, My local store was throwing the phones in on the deal.

[Tidbits]

Yes you sign a 2 year contract... However you will pay more that $160 because you signed that two year. You'll find out soon enough. I wish you luck...
