During the 8 years I put up with it and just got new phones ,but to get a discounted phone had to renew my contract ! Recently my phone had started to fail ! I called Verizon and was quickly fed the party line! Your contract expires in 5 months if you renew we can give you a phone at a discount or you can buy a new one at full retail if you don’t renew your contract now! I new I was getting no where so I went to the Verizon store a mile from where I live ! As usual there were 10 employees and 3 customers, and the party line prevailed ! The rep looked up my account said“ you have been a good customer and have an excellent credit history !� Credit history in Michigan is important since the majority of the residents in the state are Homeless and Jobless!� But no new phone at a discount unless I renewed !� I left the store and called two friends who had I Phone’s with AT&T and also AT&T internet service and got glowing reports! AT&T gave me my 1400 minutes free phones and rollover service !� I added my AARP discount and saved at least 15% ! Also since I get a $175.00 early termination fee from Verizon AT&T picks up Half ! I may decide let Verizon sue me for the $175.00 ! I will be adding AT&T television and internet service soon !� I have friends who have Internet and TV and are also very satisfied! http://www.att-signup.com/att-002/att-index.html� This will also eliminate Comcast from my Life !
