I think Verizon is eliminating the National SingleRate. In the Nashville,
TN market the National SingleRate is not listed. In the Washington D.C.
market the National SingleRate is listed.

You can get it if you ask for it. VZW is just trying to push AC.

-->They are really cutting out the promo's for NSR.
You get voice with NSR and no more N&W, MtoM, etc.
I bet it was really costing them a bunch of $$$ for them to do this.
Sure took the guess work out of it for me though.

Though with Cingular getting AT&T and doing a NSR-like plan of their
own, I wonder if they will ever drop it. Next year and a half will be
interesting. :)

The NationalAccess "minutes" plan (600 mins/$75, etc.) *is* NSR for
the most part.

I wouldn't be surprised if VZW eventually does away with roaming
charges on AC and turns AC into a true national plan, given Cingular's
and SPCS's national plans and the fact that as VZW renegotiates
roaming agreements with other carriers and fixes large problem areas
(Kentucky, various areas served by USCC, etc.), the places where VZW
is still getting "gouged" by other carriers are getting fewer and
fewer, to the point where the impact of high-cost off-net roaming on
VZW's bottom line should be minimal.

(Sometimes I wish VZW would take a very hard line toward other
carriers -- i.e., pull roaming with them entirely if they won't
cooperate -- like Cingular [Wilkes Cellular] and AT&T [Sussex
Cellular/SciTel] have been known to do, if only to get certain problem
CDMA carriers, namely Inland Cellular in Washington state, to shape
up. ;) )
