[VINMAN]

Verizon wireless sucks with their contracts. I tried the same thing, they wouldnt budge, and I work for Verizon. The only reason I stay with them, is that almost everyone that I talk on the phone to, has the same service and I have almost unlimited in network calls. Not that I even use it much. I went to 3 different VZ stores and they all said I'd have to buy the phone outright. I could get a better deal by going to Cingular or T Mobile than I get with my joke-of-a employee discount.
