As a side note, Verizon also cut prices. Today also? Not sure when. Some info about it here: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=9570473 Interesting that in this article, Verizon's CFO said the following about cancelations, which was the initial spawn of this thread: "Verizon's Chief

I'm still going for the cynic route. They are offering the new plan because Verizon is dropping their rates and they want to get as many people on AT&T on the iPhone before the exclusive deal drops in June. And since they are doing it for new customers, they have to do it for existing customers as

The natural cynic in me agrees with you here, Judah, but the pragmatist read the press release. Note the part where they say that current customers can take advantage of the new prices with no penalties or contract extension. So, save money now, jump providers in June, if a better option comes alo

I should have added: their online system sucks as far as I'm concerned. That's the biggest problem I have had with them a) not that intuitive. b) we have a family plan, no unlimited, but different options now for non-unlimited plans, that are better pricing, etc. so I need to speak to them to make
