Default Unlimited wireless calling. Competition to local carriers yes no?
With verizon and sprint unveiling unlimited calling do you think they will give the local small company's like cricket and revol a run for their money or is the $100 price tag too big to start with?

As for now, even with the added national coverage they still won't nullify the regional unlimited carriers due to the price tag of their services.

Agreed. Even with VZW at $99.99 for unlimited (only voice).

Carriers like Cricket still come in for way less bucks than that for unlimited Voice+Text+MMS+Mobile Internet+411 for $50.00

Unlimited Wireless Phone Plans | Cricket Wireless | Compare Plans

Granted all that is only for Cricket calling areas, it works great for some people.

I don't see them eliminating the competition either. I think the competition will only step up and become further competitive.

You also need to look at some of their clientel. Most if not all people i know that get those services revol, cricket, etc, have such bad credit or no credit that they cant get the other carriers.
