Cingular Vs Verizon

LOFTON: In At ESR

Germain Racing and Eddie Sharp Racing have reached an agreement to put Justin Lofton back behind the wheel of ESR equipment. The 2009 ARCA Racing Series champion earned victories and his title with ESR. The move has been facilitated by the departure of Craig Goess from ESR.

“Eddie and I talked at length about this and we feel it’s the best decision for Justin’s career. Justin earned his championship with ESR and that’s a special bond we can certainly respect,” said Mike Hillman Sr., general manager of two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champions, Germain Racing. “Winning championships is about chemistry as much as it is about being the best. We wish Justin and ESR success in finding that chemistry together again soon.”

Germain Racing and ESR will work cooperatively to make the transition seamless for Lofton. Ryan “Rudy” Fugle, crew chief for Lofton’s No. 77 Tundra at Germain Racing, will remain with Germain Racing.

Verizon vs AT&T... And How To Get Out Of Your Contract Without ...

Knowledgeable, very friendly, but also very “pressuring” in an easy-going kind of way. I wasn’t buying it, but he managed to convince Jim to fill out the paperwork to “pre-qualify” him and and make it a faster process when/if Jim decided to actually make the switch from AT&T to Verizon. (We were *this* close to making the switch!)

 

Why Are We Sticking With AT&T?

A couple of reasons:

1 - . We’ve had rollover minutes for so long with AT&T that we were actually shocked to learn that all cellphone companies aren’t offering rollover minutes at this point.

And yes, those rollover minutes have saved our butt on several occasions! (We don’t have a land line for our home phone… we use our cellphone as our phone at home and . With AT&T, you can make changes month-to-month like “add the Canada plan this month, then take it off next month” — on a whim, whenever you need something different. (In our case, whenever Jim has another business trip in Canada.) There are no fees or penalties to make these changes with AT&T, and they don’t “renew” or “extend” your contract each time you do it. (This may be only because we are longtime customers, I’m not sure.)

But with Verizon, your contract gets “renewed” or “extended” automatically whenever you make such a change. In effect, this makes it harder and harder to get out of a Verizon contract. If you don’t want/need to make changes like this month-to-month, then Verizon vs AT&T are probably very similar.

Which leads me to Randy’s great tip for those who want to get out of a Verizon wireless contract — without any fees or penalties!…

 

How To Cancel Verizon Without Penalty

I read on The Consumerist about a way to get out of Verizon’s two-year contract and we’re gonna give it a shot because Sandy’s phone is awful and so is the coverage in our area. We don’t live in the boonies so we feel the need to sceedaddle on over to Cingular where we have our daughter’s plan already and she has no reception problems whatsoever. I’ll let you know how it goes.
