I know anecdotes aren't data but I doubt she's unique in this regard.
Yes, my experience is the same. Don't discount the power of free minutes for calling inside your network. If all your friends and family are on Verizon, not only do you worry about your phone bill going up, but the network effect of everyone else saying their bill will go up too is intense.
I've been trying to change networks for years, but my wife has always successfully talked me out of it, not because of my contract (which would go down on T-Mobile) but because hers would go up so much it would be a net loss (she likes to talk to me, which I guess is a good thing :) )
