Damnit... Not the responses I was looking for guys. :whip: :D
I did come across one of those stores that sells phones for all providers and the guy said he could hook me up (if I bought from him) with a $90/line cancellation fee because he knew someone on the inside at Verizon Wireless. Does that sound fishy/not legit to anyone? Brian, since you worked "on the inside" is something like that possible?
Cheers guys,

I mean anything is possible...Im not sure how strict Verizon is with giving credits and but I do know anytime you did that with Cingular....red flags would fly. But I will tell you that those authorized dealers will tell you anything they want to get you to buy from them. Then when you find out they are full of you can't do anything because they set their own rules and pretty much have no return policy. So be careful!!!;) |

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I'm worried about them telling me they will cancel the contract (the authorized dealers) and then I keep getting bills from Verizon because nothing ever happened.
So basically cancelling a cell phone contract is one of the worst things on earth? :p |

Yes it is although...I cancelled a contract with the old Voicestream and they never charged me the 200 dollar fee. I think it was a glitch cuz others get f*cked.
Also Cingular's service is great just dont get the Razor i hate mine. |

That's a pretty bold statment without facts. I really don't like Motorola phones but the Razor is pretty nice. The only thing that didn't impress me was the battery life....deff not 5-7 hours talk time that they advertize. But the phone itself and the features it offers are great. The bluetooth worked well and the signal was also good....also the camera is pretty impressive for a cell phone. |

is there any providers that won't u up the ass? :whip: :whip: :whip: |
Yup. Nextel :disbelief I have had them since October of last year and at first their service sucked ASS. But i have noticed it has gotten better.....i went through a period for maybe a month or so where none of our phones worked as soon as we stepped into our house, i called them n they were very helpful, then a month later they gave us a $15 credit on each line for the "inconvenience" i remember when n if i ever had service problems with AT&T or Cingular, they were like oh well too bad, better luck next time.
oh and Nextel was a DREAM when i was in NY, i had service EVERYWHERE!
And about getting out of those contracts....you are pretty much ed :( |

+1 im very happy with nextel's servie, there's hardly any dead zones with nextel which is awsome. I never has a prob gettin reception in my basement, all my other phones did.
too bad that i opened a new line with cingular, service in my basement aint all that great. Nextel has treated me very well. RIP Nextel |
