Even with the $10 fee, Sprint is AT LEAST $20 less per month for the EQUIVALENT plan. Here is the problem. If you pay $20 extra for Verizon there are a few things that will happen. Depending on where you live you may or may not be getting a better signal/reception. However, you will be LOOSING 7PM night AND Any-Mobile-Any-Time. The combination those two features, in my opinion, require you to actually go up a level in minutes on any other carrier to compensate for it. On Verizon this equates to an additional $20 per month. So we are talking about $40/month more to be on Verizon. That brings the real cost to an additional $960 per 2 year contract. In my opinion, that is NOT worth it.
