    Re: Verizon Worsens America's Choice Calling Plan--No moreroaming, even at extra cost, No more National Single Rate Plan.

    This is what happens when your #1. You think you can do whatever the ****
    you want and your customers are just suppose to take it. I liken Verizon to
    Microsoft if their attitude and arrogance. Not to mention the fact that I
    can't stand that moronic Can You Hear Me Know asshole in those stupid
    commercials.

    No, I can't hear you know. What does it sound like for you to know?

    Verizon is no longer the largest carrier in terms of customers. However they
    have gotten a bit cocky after all the surveys by Consumer Reports, and other
    publications, rating them much better than the other carriers in terms of
    coverage. Most people will not realize that when they see "No Service" that
    there actually is service available--just not to them.

    How will this affect customers that have been on the America's Choice
    Plan for years...will their options be degraded?

    If you stay on your current plan you won't be affected by this change
    (just by whatever changes are made to the existing orignal AC plan, like
    coverage increases).

    If you renew your contract, you'll have to switch to the new plan.

    No, this is not true. If you renew your contract, i.e. to get a discount on
    a new handset, you can keep your existing plan. You can also increase or
    decrease your minutes under your existing plan. If you switch to a totally
    different plan, such as from an individual plan to a family plan, then you
    cannot keep your old plan.

    Personally, even if AC2 allowed off-network roaming I would not change plans
    because I don't want to lose my 8:01 p.m. off-peak start time.
