Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty Verizon (News - Alert) customers are free at last.

 

Starting today, Verizon Wireless customers who want to enjoy a quality customer experience in wireless, but don’t want to sign a one- to two-year customer agreement, have a month-to-month option.

 

The new agreement is an extension of the company’s overall commitment to delivering its customers quality products and services over the network, while providing the industry’s “best customer service.”

 

Verizon’s month-to-month agreement gives customers the freedom to purchase new devices at full-retail price, or use their own CDMA devices without the commitment of a long-term contract. Additionally, customers can terminate their agreement at the end of any month without paying an early termination fee.

 

The agreement is now available on all Nationwide Voice and Data plans for both new and current contract customers. Current contract customers must fulfill the terms of their current contract before moving to a month-to-month agreement.

 

Verizon says it operates the “nation’s most reliable wireless voice and data network,” serving 68.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 70,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (News - Alert).

 

Verizon operates the second largest telecommunications network in the United States, behind AT&T Mobility’s 72.9 million subscribers. It has the highest revenue of all wireless companies based in the U.S. with annual revenue of $43.9 billion.

 

In June, Verizon Wireless announced it will acquire rural provider Alltel (News - Alert) Wireless in a deal valued at $28.1 billion. With this merger, Verizon Wireless states that it will have about 80 million wireless subscribers and will cover a geographical region that contains about 290 million people.
