So Verizon bought Straight Talk wireless.
A week ago my wife who is a customer on their ATT network got a text:
"We are now part of the Verizon family. If you would like to switch to Verizon towers, call this number."
Same message when we logged into her account.
Sounds voluntary, right? No requirements stated, no warnings about what will happen if you dont call. WRONG!
Last night they shut off service to all ATT SIM customers. To get your service to work again, you have to call them and wait 2-3 days for a new Verizon SIM card to be shipped to you.
I just got off the phone with Patriot Mobile. I'm moving her number to them. We were meaning to switch over eventually. I was just spending several months monitoring her data usage to figure out what plan we needed to put her on. We were going to switch next month anyway.
So pissed off right now.
I'm sure I'll be even more pissed when they fight the number porting. (lots of reports of them doing their best to not allow you to port your number)
