As for regular plans, I can switch to those but forget the nights included, but I already have a grandfathered add-on stand alone for $4.99 for nights. So could I technically change to a plan without nights and still use this add on?]]>Oct 3rd 2007 3:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 3:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 3:17PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 6:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 4:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 5:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 3:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 3rd 2007 5:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/
This is a really a no brainer on their part though. If they want to really push these new plans that bundle unlimited messaging, vznavigator, vcast video, etc. you have to remove this major drawback to actually switching to one of those selected plans. I understand that churn is a major cost factor for wireless providers, but at some point they are all going to have to bite the bullet and start acting more like landline companies and not rely on contracts to keep customers in place.

Prepaid should be an option for people with horrible credit. People who dont want a contract shouldn't have to go that route for cell service, let people buy their own equipment, pay an activation fee, and if needed put down a deposit. That is how other utilities and services work, of course those other utilities and services generally have little to no competition per address...]]>Oct 4th 2007 5:20AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Many many Moons ago Verizon. They would like you go up and down withing the period of plan offerings that you selected your plan in. So they are basically going back to what they were doing before. Nothing new here.]]>Oct 4th 2007 9:38AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 4th 2007 1:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 5th 2007 6:51PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/03/verizon-wireless-allows-customers-to-change-plans-without-extend/Oct 6th 2007 4:02PM
