You seem to be pointing out the highlights of the plans available on the other carriers. What about the small print?
You don't seem to be mentioning any of Verizon's current offerings, such as $180 for 4 smartphones sharing 10 GB of data. Of course, there is small print in this offer just as there is small print in the offers from the other carriers.
Personally, I would certainly consider switching to AT&T, but their offer of $160 for 4 smartphones with 10 GB of shared data would not save me any money. My monthly bill would be approximately the same. Since the service footprint of Verizon meets my needs and is superior to the service footprint I had last time I was with AT&T, I see no reason to switch since I would see no reduction in my monthly cost.
As always, if you can get the same or better service at a different provider for a lower cost, I don't understand the attempts to get Verizon to lower their prices. Why not just go to the provider which will meet your needs at the best price????
It seems people are simply trying to increase the stress in their life. If you are unhappy with your provider, go with the provider which you prefer.
Depending on why you are not eligible for Edge, you could ALSO not be eligible for AT&T's Next plan and would end up paying full retail(~$600+) for each of your phones in order to qualify for the discount on their plan. Not many people are going to want to pony up $2400+ in order to save $100/month over 24 months.
Don't forget about any ETFs on your account.
Are you not eligible for Edge on ANY of your lines or simply some of them?
