Need help from VZW rep.

I see on the web site I have the option to upgrade my phone. I want the new Mv710 to replace my primary line phone. The problem I have is I'm only at about the halfway mark of my 2 year.

My current phone is on a deal that I guess they don't do anymore which is installments. In other words, when I got it, I just signed an installment agreement and they do something wierd like charge me $25 a month for the phone and then give a $12.50 credit because it was a $599 retail PDA phone but with my NE2 and extra loyal customer discount (I was friends with a store rep. at the time) it worked out to be $300 net cost for the phone.

When I go to the web site and select upgrade to the v710 it quotes a price of $419 with no rebate, etc. I underst...

Future phones

I see phones that automatically start doing your laundry when you come home, then it cooks you dinner and massages your feet. It looks like a Jetson home.

Side note: In the future people will realize that VZW doesn't make the phones, The manaufacturer's are the one with quality issues. VZW realizes/knows that there is a quality issue and maybe they're working on it w/ the mft's.

sick of VZW might switch back to Cingular

Sick of VZW I don't like their upgrade policy. I don't like the fact that you have to wait 2 years to upgrade to a new phone.I've had VZW for almost 2 years now and for the last 2 months I haven't had a phone.I already paid over $400.00 for new phones.All the phones that VZW has are cheap and I'm sick of charging my phone everyday.Other than that VZW has awesome coverage and customer service.At least with Cingular I can upgrade my phone every 6 months.And you can also find GSM phones cheaper on the web than CDMA phones.

Porters Beware: Verizon may be overcharging you

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but Verizon, in their negligence and incompetence, billed me for the wrong phone number and tried to charge me $700 for it. After spending hours on the phone, day after day, Verizon continued to blame me for the problem and tell me I don't how to make phone calls on my own phone.

Two months later

I call Verizon, who refused to call back to let me know if they will fix "my" problem, and they admit after an hour that they "misbilled" me because they are have porting problems they have been unable to adjust in their system. So the people I talked to who ported their numbers to Verizon were coming up as MCI and AT&T.... issues. Anyways, in tears looking at this bill, I'm thinking, "NEGLIGEN...

V60s or Alternatives

Greetings,
I'm going to be upgrading my service plan and getting a new phone as soon as I reach the end of my current billing cycle (about two weeks.) I stopped by a local VZW store today just to see what they had available and talked to the sales guy there. I'm eligible for a NE2 upgrade and I've already fulfilled the current obligations of my contract and am going month-to month now.

When I went into the store I was looking primarily at three phones. The Nokia 6587i, The LG VX 32600 and The Motorola v60s. I've done some research and I know that I want a fairly basic tri-mode phone that has excellent reception, is sturdy enough to last me two years of everyday use, and is economical. Each phone has it's pros and cons. I have no use ...

Need your expert opinion...which phone to get.

My 2yr contract is up soon and I don't plan to switch carriers. I made the mistake of getting the T720 19 months ago and wish to avoid the same mistake. I most likely will do the New Every 2 plan again.

I never play the video games and would rarely use the camera. What do you think is the best available (or soon-to-be-released) phone offered by VZW?

I'm a businessman so sound quality, battery life, and reception are far more important than the cool gadgets that phones come with. If the best phone has these gadgets, fine. I just don't have to have them.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

V60 in Mercedes

My mom just informed me that she purchased a new Mercedes with the integrated cell phone package...

Now she has to choose between staying with AT&T (her contract is up) or going with VZW.

Questions...
Does anybody know if she has to go with a V60 or can she choose a different phone?

Also, how does it affect her plan?

And if she decides to go with VZW how does the account set-up work?

NE2 and 1 year contract

2 years ago, I signed up with Verizon on a one year contract. I've been very satisified to date. When I bought the phone at RS, I was told about the NE2 program. I called Verizon today (on another matter) and was shocked to find out that the rep failed to tell me that I needed a 2 year contract in order to get the $100 rebate. Since I've been a customer for two years now and will probably sign on to another contract, is there anyway I can get the $100 off? I've been looking forward to this rebate for a long, long time (I still am using the same phone from two years ago). I live in the Northern Virginia area, if that helps. Thanks for any info you can provide.

New low-end phones

Anybody hear anything about possible replacements for the KX414 & the 3589i? Everything I've been seeing has been relating to high-end phones, like the V710, the VX8K, the Koi, things like that. I try to keep up with the New Phone listings here, but I don't remember seeing ANY new low-end bar-style phones in a looooong time.

Cool story to share with people who THINK they don't need a camera phone. . . .


Camera Phone Solves Accident Mystery...

Verizon Wireless customer Audrey Mahan recently wrote into the company web site to
explain how her LG camera phone saved the day after her son was in a car accident: "I
have the LG vx6000. Recently my son was in a car accident and there was a question of
who was driving the car. Thanks to my camera phone I took pictures of the seat belt burn
on my son at the hospital and was able to prove he was not the driver. I was so glad I had
that camera on my phone that day! It kept him from being in a lot of trouble. My thanks to
Verizon and their great service and LG for the camera feature on my phone!!!"
