Dan,
I'm a Verizon customer on the Nationwide plan and love it. I've been all over MO, KS, AR, TX, MS and LA and never had problems. I pay for three phones that use off the same minutes and if I use my phone to call any of the other two phones or ANY Verizon customer, it's free. So if Paula has Verizon and you do, call all day, all night, whenever and it's free. I've copied and pasted the features that I have below.
NATIONWIDE BASIC FAMILY SHARE PRIMARY 700 minutes \------------------Monthly access charge: $60.00 (for one phone - I pay a bit over $90 for all three phones by the time taxes and user fees are added.)
Monthly allowance minutes: 700 general
Per minute rate after allowance: $0.45 peak , $0.45 off-peak
Included Features (no charge)
$0.20 per Text Message sent/received (unless you subscribe to a messaging bundle) I'm not a texter so this suits me just fine
3-Way Calling
Call Waiting
M2M NATIONAL UNLIMITED Unlimited Verizon to Verizon customer calls
No Answer/Transfer
Call Delivery
Call Forward - No Answer
Streamlined Billing
Call Forwarding V CAST Music Block
GENERAL IP ADDRESS
PAY AS YOU USE MEGABYTE DATA - so I can access the internet from my phone

That's all I know about Verizon.

First off I am going with my stepson who is a Deputy in Johnson County, Kansas. His at the time girl friend (now soon to be bride) and I purchased him a 20 bird guided hunt last year for Chirstmas. And the owner of the game ranch who is one of my best friends gave me 10 bird hunt last year for Christmas. Plus we are going to throw out some birds for him also. I am going to have a great afternoon Saturday with son and best friend watching some good dogs work! So I had to wait until my son could get some time off to hunt and we wanted to get it done before I leave out for LA or MS before Thanksgiving. Well I could leave as early as next Tuesday and not be back until after Jan 5th! During this time I won't have internet so you can talk about me all you want! I can't see purchasing a card for my laptop when I am only going to be gone 5 or 6 weeks! I checked into the prices and wow!
Bad enough that I have a very old Alltel cell phone plan that I have unlimited local calls that verizon don't offer any more! And those morons offered me today a nationwide plan for another $30.00 more per month that doesn't cover alot of areas I am normally in when I am home! That would put me about $160 per month! I am really up a creek I will be on roam paying out the butt with my current plan. Just got new phone from Alltel about 4 months ago when old phone quit! Got 2 years on contract and I am going to tell them to stick it! I also have a choice of leaving my current cell phone here, because they won't push a button and foreward all my calls and getting a prepaid phone with a different number. If I take my current phone with me with my currrent plan and turn the phone on they will charge me for roaming!
Beagle I am sorry you just got a Verizon phone you will be sorry! Lately here in Springfield at home cell phone won't ring it goes to voice mail was told today that they are working on updating the towers and I am just a old Alltel customer! Wait until I get back I will have everyone in the MO Publc Service Commissions office calling them after I raise a big stink! Some of you know how I get when I get on my high horse and feel strongly about something! I know alot of people in Jefferson City! And I have their Cell numbers!
Any ideas anyone?
Dan
