    Which is why I use Sprint PCS, among other reasons

    I am already mad at them about this. I was charged for $5 in downloads
    when I had that and I was told the credit doesn't apply to the first
    $10. I said forget it, I won't bother using your damn download service
    at all! And I have not since. I found a nice site that has a few
    things to get and I use that.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with them either. I think they
    want to show a large increase in customers using the new plan to put
    pressure on competing carriers.

    Yep, Minnesota is still the bastard child as far as Verizon goes. To be
    fair, it all started with USWest Cellular and their lack of license
    purchases here. Then Airtouch did nothing and Verizon just seems to be
    happy roaming on Sprint and Midewst Wireless among others. Sprint is
    affiliate Northern PCS here and they suck at coverage in the Duluth
    area...very small footprint. But where they do have coverage, it works as
    well or better than Verizon does.

    BTW, Verizon has native coverage in Crookston and Grand Forks too.....

    I have found coverage in Duluth to be wonderful! I have used it in many
    areas; up by the tower, over by the zoo, up on the hill and down in
    canal park. Always good signal and Vision works well. I get good
    coverage until I approach two harbors and then I often roam on Verizon.

    > BTW, Verizon has native coverage in Crookston and Grand Forks too.....


    North Dakota ... yes, I did mention the Moorhead area.

    Really! I had the two-month free Vision trial which includes the download
    credit, downloaded Ms. Pac-Man to my phone at a cost of $6 (I believe), called
    for and received the download credit (even though I wasn't paying for Vision at
    the time, since it's a free trial of the $15/month service).

    Whoever told you it applies only after you spend the first $10 was a moron.

    That is essentially what I told him, in not so many words. However,
    since I don't care about most of those downloads anyway, it wasn't a big
    deal.
