i want another provider.

hmm. well, obviously i can help you, but if you complain to your wireless carrier now, they might do something. threaten them with you leaving them. also if you have a phone thats worth something, i am sure that if your wireless provider has some sort of buyback you can get some money back and then pay for the ETF.

does that help?

not really. i want a bt phone, but not one of the vwz offered ones.

hmm. you can try a few things..

1. complain.
2. transfer ownership of your contract
3. use your phone that you have now for their buyback program.
4. pay the ETf, sell your phone then move on.

That's terrible advice...telling someone to "threaten to leave their carrier". You've got to remember that the person on the other end of the line is a rep that very well may be a member of our esteemed group. Making threats gets things off on the wrong foot and things usually escalate from there. If you're going to do anything, be polite and see if there's any way ...

it is not terrible advice... it is good advice. i did it and it worked.

Well, take a step back and realize that it's not a way to leave your mark in this forum by telling Grant to "threaten your rep with leaving the carrier!". There are a lot of reps in this forum. Suppose someone told a person to take back the phone you sold to that person before the 14 day trial period was up and you lost your commission? That would suck, woudln't it?

i have had the contract for almost four years now. i just did a PPc and now i want to leave verizon for a phone with bluetooth.

well, it worked for me when i had another carrier, so that person can try that.

"Suppose someone told a person to take back the phone you sold to that person before the 14 day trial period was up and you lost your commission? That would suck, woudln't it? "

no, that is just life. we barely see that happening anyway.

dont be ghetto if u want out be a man/woman/adult and pay your etf and move on, **** it's not rocket science!!!!!!!! dont play stupid either u know u signed a contract so either honor it, or pay the dam etf and go somewhere elese and get a BT phone with horrible reception, thats ur business. but don't BS a rep cause u think u r the first person to try that crap, u aint so they will deal with u like they have dealt with every other threatening customer. if u want to pull that crap then maybe vzw doesnt need you anyway!!!

dude, dont take an atitude with me. its about the other person who wanted to change phones, not me. post to him, not to me thanks.

can anyone waive mine? i want a phone with bluetooth and not a motorola or a PDA.

I'm assuming you want to jump ship to another carrier? Why ask reps to risk their jobs for this?

this is why i was asking db.

Because db will?

i was calling you a db.

Aw, that was mean buddy.

i know, but you immediately took an unnecessary tone with me. it was just an inquiry. the sarcasm was un-needed.

It wasn't meant at sarcasm...I was just wondering if putting a rep in that situation is the right way to go about it. That's all.

well, if it would out them in that position, i doubt they would do it.

I hope not...somehow I think the company discovering ETF fees were flying out the window would be pretty serious.

indeed.

grant, what kind of phone do you have?

4500.

how much is it?

full retail is about 200.

i will do you a favor.. ETF is 175 right? i will set up a deal with you to get that phone from you for 200 so you can pay off your ETF. if you want to talk about the deal email me.

for sure. it is an old phone. i have had it for about 6 months.

do you think people will want to buy this phone? what about you upgrading to another phone?

if you want to make a deal email me.

he wants you to do commit fraud. hahaha.
