Thom, you are a braver man than I.

Vinny, I was in Yellow Pages sales and I think we did get $200 a month for phone stuff. Just got off the phone with V. Wireless and they said there's no way I can get a Razr phone for less than full retail unless I add another line to my account, which, of course, would cost far more than a full retail Razr and far more than paying my early termin. fee and going somewhere else. I asked her if any of that made sense to her - losing a longtime customer for something like this, suggesting an alternative that costs far more than my just paying full retail, etc. Seems like Verizon hasn't changed at all since I worked there. No one gets paid to think or make common-sense financial and sales decisions. I just don't understand folks who would choose 100% of nothing over 60% of something.
