Default Does Verizon Gouge You On Your Bill To?

I have Verizon and i was just wondering how many people have Verizon and think that they are paying to much? Because some times i really think 105.00$ is a little hi. And it seems like I'm on the phone talking to customer service constantly about my bill or some thing.Tell me what you think?

this is a Storm forum... not a "gripe about Verizon" forum.

this needs to be moved to R&R or deleted altogether.

oh, and if you're upset about a high bill, then either drop some features or deal with the cost of having more options. You can't get Ferrari performance with a Hyundai gas mileage (just using cars as an analogy).

lol most vzw bills are a tad high call see your min usage, if you're using your bb for corporate email if not then you can lower it to a 30 per month email plan ins for blackberrys is 7.99 now call and see if you have that or the lower one. Also see if your work offers a corporate disc. if not get a part time job at home depot they get 25% their monthly bill

Do you have a landline with Verizon?

I'm about 145ish on my VZW and then i'm about 140 for Verizon FIOS (phone,cable and internet). I'm thinking about booting the landline and cable and just going straight Cell and Internet.

Roughly about $3400 per year going to verizon from my house hold. I wish there was a way to cut that in half.

$105 is not that bad. As you can see, there are quite a few customers who pay a lot more. For me, I pay around 90 a month (450 min/BIS combo, text msg, coverage, minus emp disc).

VzW is on the higher end of the bill rate. How about looking at other carriers and see what their rates are? Maybe switch?

I was paying about $160 a month...had unlimited everything. They averaged my calls for about 3 months and lowered my calling plan (keeping in mind I can utilize the fav 5 or whatever it's called). Saved me $40. I tend to agree that they're a little pricier than other carriers but the service is superior to other carriers too.
