I have KRZR from Alltel, I had VZW for 2 years IMO Alltel "My Circle">Verizon

 

I got totally sewered out on contract phones after Sprint screwed me when I deployed. I gave them my deployment orders, and they said that my plan would be on hold until I reactivated it, i.e. I wouldnt be charged anything because I wasnt using the phone, but it wouldnt count toward my two year contract time either. When I came back home for R&R leave, I got a bill saying I owed over $300. Turns out they were charging me $45/month to "hold" my phone number for me. This was never mentioned to me in any conversation with the customer service reps before I deployed. So I just got a Virgin Mobile prepaid when I got back from Iraq, and I love it. I pay a lot less every month for my service, and while I may not have a lot to choose from when it comes to phones, I love the "no-hassle" aspect of it.

 

WOW! I would have been lived and ripped them a new one.... verizon put my account on hold but it was only like $7.00/month when I deployed.... $45.00 is insane
