Why am I being charged minutes against my account for calling voicemail?
Also, suddenly i'm getting spammed by telemarketers that I did not have any contact with EVER. This is also being charged against my minutes used.
I'm considering buying out my contract with verizon and obtaining a plan that is only $45.00 a month unlimited talk, unlimited text, unlimited data. I'm being charged 120.00 by Verizon Wireless. I"m only getting 450 minutes a month. unlimited text and a $30.00 data plan. I really don't think Verizon services are worth 3x that of other carriers, especially when I am being charged minutes for calling voice mail for Gods sake. This is ridiculous. I feel i'm being violated, overcharged, and totally screwed.
I know many people with other companies paying only 39.99 to 45.00 a month unlimited everything. They don't have any problems with service.

Calling voicemail has always counted against your minutes. If you can wait until the night and weekend minutes kick in to check voicemail.
Where are you going to get a "unlimited" plan for $45 per month?

Hi Ann,
There are more companies than these, but this is just a few. These also do not require a contract.
T-Mobile $70/month unlimited talk/text/data
MetroPC $40/month unlimited talk/text/data
Straight Talk $45/month unlimited talk/text/data
Virgin Mobile $55/month unlimited talk/text/data
I know a quite a few people using these services for quite a while and don't have any complaints.

Say hello to throttling with those plans. Read the fine print.

Thank you for your comments Ann, but I'm just wanting to know why I get charged is all. For what I pay a month, I should have unlimited everything. Charging for verizon to verizon phones, checking voice mail, seems petty. Throttling with any plan and the fine print that goes with them.....corporate greed.
Happy New Year! lol
Dealing with any company has a fine print. Just as i'm being charged to check voice mail. Verizon has many hidden charges as well.
Just seems to me it would behoove some companies to reduce their charges since they offer nothing more, nothing better than the other. In fact, as in my case....some charge more for less services.
At&t $70/month unimited talk/text/data
Boost $50/month unlimited talk/text/data
Alltel &75/month unlimited talk/text/data

Verizon worked for me when my sons were all on my plan. It was a pretty good deal. But now that they are all grown, and I have had to change my plan..... i'm not happy with the service for what i'm paying.

I doubt that AT&T plan has unlimited data.
Alltel doesn't exist. What little bit of the company that remains is being merged with AT&T.
Boost throttles.
I have the same 450 minute plan minus the unlimited texting and I knew that it goes against my minutes if I checked my voicemail during peak hours.

Well, after being an unvalued customer for several years....it's cheaper
to buy out my contract, and go with prepaid with no contract. Check the
web sites, thats where I got my information.

I would suggest that you read the fine print of the service agreement with whatever carrier you choose.
