Just left the Verizon Store... - HTC EVO 3D

I'm at the mall here where I live. I go into the Verizon store rocking my new EVO 3d. First question they ask me is can I help you. I said I'm just looking. They asked do you have cellphone service now. I replied ...yeah with Sprint. The sales associate said...oh...we can't compete. She then asked me ...what phones do you and your wife have. I said my wife has the EVO 4g and I have the EVO 3D. Again the sales associate said...can't compete again.
I was like wtf...and the bad thing is was that she was the manager. She was like Sprint is the only company that has true unlimited data..and their prices is good as well.
I know it don't mean anything but i just had to post this

Wait till 2-3 weeks from now when Verizon gets rid of their last thing close to unlimited data and moves to their high priced tiered data plans.

Verizon has been more expensive than Sprint.. so has AT&T and they still gain more customers than Sprint does regardless. I doubt there will be a mass exodus of customers.

Sprint employee wanting Evo 3D?

Any other Sprint employees trying to get an Evo 3D? I'm a B2B rep for a preferred dealer and I got the same old story they gave everyone last year with the Evo. EMPLOYEES MUST WAIT!
Anyway around this? buying the phone at full price? Just started at Sprint 2 months ago so I'm not that familiar with how this stuff works yet.

You are an employee? Radio Shack didnt ask to change you plans?
Im on SERO-P and trying to figure out where i can upgrade aside from Sprint.
I am sure if you go into the shack or BB and pay full retail for it they will not question you as to why you want to not have them activateit for you.
It's my understanding that when you call Sprint customer care to activate the phone, they wont put it on your employee plan. I'd consider paying full price but I don't want to get stuck with a $500 phone I can't use.

Idk man. The unlimited 4G at T-Mobile looks nice when mine's up. Although, I'm trying to be hopeful that it will somehow encourage Verizon to rethink their stance because in terms of coverage in my area, no one comes close.
If you want to keep your unlimited plan just don't upgrade through Verizon. You can usually buy the newer phones on their networks for around $200 - $300 on eBay, swappa, craigslist, or amazon. Just pick up whatever phone you want and walk into Verizon and request a sim for the phone or have then program it.

I thought about that to but doesn't T-Mobile throttle you after like 500mb though and force you on 3g or 2g for the remainder of the month? I think sprint is the only one that won't cut you off. For me if Verizon forces me off unlimited I think I'll stay cause nobody else has as good of service but sprint might be tempting.

Sprint can't throttle you because if they slowed it down any more, it wouldnt even load the play store. It already took long enough to do that when I had sprint. I loved sprints customer service but their data network is awful, not to mention it will take them forever to roll out 4g. Verizon might cost more per month but it's worth it. Sprint has unlimited because their 3g is so slow you can't use a lot of data and their WiMAX is almost nonexistent unless you live in huge cities. Just warning you guys.

Yea looks good but their 4g isn't that good or as fast as lte and they won't have lte for a while and their service isn't great especially in my area. But in the next 5 years when everyone has lte it will be good to see them really compete for customers.

I never had a phone on att that worked worth a damn (iPhone back when I didn't know how truely evil apple was) on 3g but I have seen others on att do well on 3g. But 3g works well for me on Verizon. I use it all the time since it doesn't hog battery like 4g which is great in my area. But when I'm running a speestest on 3g with my buddy and his HTC evo 3d next to me and I pull almost 2.0mbps down and 1 up and he barely pulls a .5 down and .1 up with his 400ms ping, Verizon's 3g is the **** lol. But you are right att 3g is better, their 4g is garbage through. Everyone i know barely pulls 7-8 down on att 4g while I'm flying by them at 40mbps while streaming Pandora in the background
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Yea I mean if atts service didn't literally make me mad, I would still use them just for the phones.. Verizon's is the only one I've had that I actually notice how good it is. The phones and the lock down aren't that great that ¦~\ but service is first and foremost. Plus on LTE I've never had lower than 11 down and 2 up (its usually over 15 and under 40 up, with over 5 down) and I've been across states down south in 4G areas... ATT and TMO and Sprint don't compare in places Ive been down here. Plus my 3G speeds are as fast and their 4G pretty often and that's unacceptable to me.

I don't really think that's the reason... But I'm sure they considered that as well... I think it's because they own so much spectrum that they can increase the price of whatever they want and people will pay for it... Plus ATT started the teird data garbage. Verizon followed a year later... Then Verizon started the share plan garbage.. now ATT has followed that. It's all about money. Data used to be a lot cheaper once upon a time, but not as good persay.. Personally I think they should still have unlimited 4G and capped 3G or vice versa... Idk though... Meh it is what it is.

Roaming to get off contract...

If you do this, are the ESNs on the phones marked as bad? I'm guessing they are... but curious. Sprint is giving me the biggest run around ever with constant poor service, dropped calls, slow data, etc... I'm in a metro area as well, it's ridiculous.

In the event that it can't raise the necessary cash or if Sprint gets a better offer, the Japanese carrier will have to cough up $600 million in termination fees. Likewise, Sprint will have to pay $75 million if its shareholders don't approve the transaction.

I know folks here are mostly enthusiastic about the One so please encourage me for strong reasons to stay...
I am from Verizon ... giving up their unlimited data plan
And from Galaxy Note 2 ... giving up the 3100 mAH battery...
What do you think, if you were me....
I am so torn but HTC One is just too beautiful to pass
I don't necessarily think the One is worth it, but AT&T gets almost every phone or can use the international version. I switched to AT&T from Verizon 2 years ago for that reason, and there has never been a phone on the market that I wanted but couldn't have Well worth it.

Any folks near New York area using ATT service? Do you have coverage when you have some road trip to Bear Mountain or some other hiking place?
My biggest fear was losing data connection when you need the driving direction the most.
Verizon saved me once in Ithaca back then near those wineries, but I am not sure if AT&T can pull off the same there....
Thanks for any comments here.
I am not so concerned about the unlimited thing because my wife will still be using Verizon's unlimited line in our family plan. Not like I lose such option forever.
I'm from Albany, drive down to Long Island a lot, take the Amtrak train occasionally. LTE is hard to come by, but Hspa is pretty consistent. No complaints at all. I jumped from big red in 2011 and haven't looked back. AT&T has been great to me.

I travel from New Haven to NYC everyday and I get pretty consistent LTE speeds.

I'm in the same boat - gave up VZW + Unlimited data, and I had a Galaxy Nexus. Just got my HTC One after a week wait (argh). What a great device!
AT&T 4G (at least download speeds) are so much slower than VZW's (from speedtests). The upload on AT&T 4G is slightly faster. Overall happy with the service here.
I'm onboard too I switched from Verizon and I'm pleased with the service! Yeah the lte isn't as fast but I barely use data... I was dropping calls left and right on Verizon and I haven't yet on att

Verizon is offering any new phone with a payment plan and we keep our unlimited. In store only.

Yeah but basically you are paying twice for the phone. Verizon does not lower the price of their plans which includes a new phone subsidy, then on top of that they take the full price of the phone and charge you monthly for that until you pay it off. And lastly a $24 financing charge. Verizon is the ultimate scam corporation.
