Well actually it was Nextel
I had the family 850 mins with one black berry and three ugly heavy phones that the kids hated. The black berry didn't have a pic thingy on it nor music (didn't know they came with those).
Verizon gave me 2100 mins, unlimited texting, pic sending, internet, and waived the activation fees for $157 a month.
also for $149, I get a blackberry Pearl with music and camera! and 3 RAZR's (kids are going to LOVE me lol)
paying less than half and getting a lot more and I have a "personal" customer serv rep that kept telling me I was going to fall in love with him (and I think he's right lol).
