The Verge: A petition asking Verizon to follow the lead of its smaller rival T-Mobile in cutting mobile contracts has gained significant momentum after it recorded over 30,000 signatures in one day. The Change.org petition — created on April 7th in an effort to force Verizon to "create an affordable way for consumers to purchase their devices" — currently sits just short of 100,000 signups and is believed to have garnered additional support following the announcement of the carrier's positive first-quarter financials.
The offer ends August 30, so act fast!
Verizon has teamed up with Google and Apple for a new incentive for the company’s unlimited plan customers.
Internet pioneers Yahoo and AOL are changing hands yet again as Verizon is selling its Verizon Media branch for about $5 billion
Well I'm just gonna tell you this.........
I have had OOma for 5 years. No problem. No home phone bill.
I dropped ATT last October and have had Republic Wireless for cell service. 20.00 a month for unlimited everything isn't bad. Its great actually, you just have to use their old @$$ gingerbread phone.
For the past month I have been using my GS3 with GrooveIP and a Walmart 3G mifi when not at home. I use wifi when I'm home. Works great and I'm thinking about dropping Republic Wireless because I can use whatever phone I want as long as its Android. I only wish I could use my Lumia 920 but there is no app like this on WP8.
So screw Verizon, screw ATT, screw Tmobile. GrooveIP and google voice is my future. The 45.00 for the 3g 4gb will probably last me all year and then some.
