In the late 90’s, alltel offered a “no fuss” unlimited everything plan at a time when everyone else was cha-chinging the hell out of over the limit calls and texts. It cost a bit more than others, but I didn’t have to worry about the teenager sending 15k texts in a month and getting a bill that cost more than a car (not me, but true story).
Verizon bought them, and I get a letter saying welcome to Verizon. Figured it would be this kinda bullshit, but nah… They honored that alltel plan for almost 6 years, even while giving us free phones for two year contracts, they kept the text/minutes unlimited plan id originally gotten through alltel, and I ultimately only changed it because they eventually came up with the share plans and that was cheaper.
Didn’t think much of Verizon back then, but they proved me wrong :)
