Verizon Start Times

Are all Verizon markets still starting evenings at 9:00PM or
have any started to compete with the carriers offering 7:00pm start times?

They haven't, and I'm sure they won't.

VZW obviously feels it doesn't need to compete with the other carriers
on this issue. The ones who are moving to 7:00PM are doing so because
they can't compete with VZW in other areas.

Verizon's night minutes start @ 9pm and I believe they will never start
at 7pm. They don't need to compete on this level like some of the other
carriers do.

You might be able to haggle for it when your contract comes due. People
with Sprint were able to do so with ease.

Despite being kind of an old pro at it with "connections" (several reps who
have made it to management) I think the deals are gone for now...


I'm a 10+ year customer with 3 lines, out of contract for a year, and my
account was flagged as in danger of closure. I went to multiple stores,
talked to multiple agents and made many calls to CS.

I couldn't get a minute of free time, a single feature or a dimes service
credit in 3 months of trying. I couldn't even get them to let me keep my old
family plan (we all had MTM) and add a line. I had to get one of the new
family plans to add another line.

What I was able to get was one free vx4400 and a couple more at $49 after
rebate with a two year contract (something I haven't done in a long time)
and that was like pulling teeth.

These things do change and vary by market so you should always try!
Oh, and I never told them I was going to cancel my service, so there may be
a level of retention I didn't reach...

The Dr offers some advice he got from CS for a customer in a similar
position- seems that you can "not" add a share plan to an existing "older"
plan. However, you CAN add a new "stand alone" line, and then have CS
change it to a share similar to your existing lines.... really. Of course,
your mileage may vary, but that was the process that I was told by CS, when
presented with a similar position.

Yes. You wanted to know if I was able to get the old share added to the old
family main plan. Yes, I was. Added a "new" anything, waited one day,
called CS (who had already noted the file based on the previous CS) and
"poof", the new line, was "changed" into a share with codes to match the
other shares.

I'd like to take credit for this, but all I did was take the good advice of
CS, do things in the order that they suggested, and ended with a very happy
customer. Your mileage may vary.
