SHAME! Shame on you, Verizon. The minute my contract is over (soon) with you, I'll be switching. Bad.Too bad, too. Your customer service and coverage was getting better. You HAD a happy customer. Not that they care about one guy's cell phone. But I'm sure I'm not alone.
i have to agree with you about the patents not holding up in court. to memory, patents have to be unique... not 2 old ideas slapped together. hell, their idea is just transferring one idea over to a newer technology.i don't see how those patents even got granted in the first place, shows you how f**ked up the American patent system is.
No you're not alone, because I use Vonage, and have Verizon Wireless and this just pisses me off. The fact that Verizon is such a huge company, that is pissed off at a small VOIP (relativley) company. And instead of trying to compete, they go and sue em. They better sue my local cable company to because they have a VOIP service, with caller ID, and call waiting, etc. Stuff like this makes me want to email Verizon and threaten that I would be cancelling the service. But in the back of my mind I think. That's like telling a the manager of you're local wal mart that you'd never shop it again. Like it really matters to them. Although for some reason, I bet a manager of a wal mart would care more than some Verizon CEO.
Vonage sucks. Totally off target for pricing.Check your local alternative phone carrier or long distance provider. See if they have a VoIP offering. WAYYYYY cheaper.(Canada, Primus. Wicked deals on good quality IP phones)
