I'm planning to change service from T-mobile to Verizon sometime in the next 6 or 8 months now that the numbers can be transported. I'm thinking that the deals may get better sometime next year after the initial surge of service changes by unhappy customers decreases and the companies need to get more competitive to get the attention of those thinking of changing or to get people who are currently happy to start thinking about changing. I'm probably not gonna be one of the ones that are sought after since I'm a very low usage customer (maybe 20 minutes a month on average). Calling a prospective provider (or your own) and negotiating for a personalied package may get you a better deal than just accepting one of the advertised 'one size fits all' packages.
