Carriers Aim to Kill Number Portability – yah, cell phone companies suck.
Many cell phone companies, including Verizon, lose 2% to 4% of their subscribers every month–or between 30% and 40% a year, according to Telephia Inc., a wireless industry research firm.
Those customers are making the switch despite the number issue, the need to pay a penalty for breaking service contracts and the fact that moving to a new carrier forces customers to buy a new phone because of technological differences.
Yeah, you know why? Because VERIZON SUCKS. They were so bad that they motivated me to write my one and only epinions review. They were so bad that they continued billing me after I cancelled, and I had to call and bitch at them multiple times.
