Verizon's got me...
I kind of got screwed on my current contract and want out of my lame old flip phone for a shiny new 16GB Iphone 4s.
I don't have a problem buying the Iphone with a 2 year contract at $199, or paying the $111 a month to run it. What I do have a problem with is paying Verizon $130 to let me out of my current contract 10 months early. So I can sign right back up with them, and spend more money every month for 24 months. These guys just don't deal.

Think if I charged the $130 on a CC and did a dispute it would stick? I'm betting not.

Switch to Sprint and pay $30 less a month; 4 months and you have your $130 back. Plus it's unlimited data.

I just priced out Sprint its $99.99 a month for a comparable plan.
The only downside is that 90% of the people I talk to have Verizon, so I'll get nicked for out of network calls with Sprint and will probably have to upgrade to unlimited for another $10 a month. So right back to where I started, $110ish a month.

I hate cell phones and only use one when I travel. I think $100 per month is absurd and worse with a contract, and even WORSE yet to pay $130 to get out of a multi year contract.
But then, that is just me, what do *I* know? I am fully retired, get up and go to bed whenever, eat when I am hungry, and if I get bored get in one of the cars and go somewhere..... And, I don't even wear a watch every day any more.. ( <---as some lawyer from Chicago I talked to in Club Med in Mexico a long time ago, said " You can always ask some azzwhole what time it is!")

Doesn't sound real. You're not terminating the contract, you are upgrading. You may be eligible for a rebate or a discount, if you had the contract long enough.
To the best of my knowledge, there are no 'early termination charges', if you intend to upgrade your phone. I would double check with another rep.

Ditch Verizon entirely, go with Virgin Mobile. $55/month unlimited data/text/talk. No contract. Sprint network. You pay full price for the phone, but at this monthly rate you'll make it back up right quick.
I'll NEVER sign up for a cell phone contract again. Bastages make lots of money off their termination fees.

Why is it a "lame old flip phone"............because everybody else must have an I-phone...........or the world comes to an end?
You lived 26 years without an I-phone. I'm quite sure you can live another 26 without it. I have the Motorola Razr and I'm quite sure that it's more than sufficient for the next 20 years. |
