I hate it so much, and my mom used my free upgrade to get me this demon phone. I have a verizon plan; is there any way to get a new phone without breaking my contract? Edit: any suggestions as to what I should get? The only requirements are that it's a Verizon phone and that it has a QWERTY keyboard. Edited By: Lauriestar 10/11/2009 4:09 PM. Edited 1 time.

Have someone call in and be like, "I would like to call in and terminate Laurie [insert last name here]'s contract because she has passed away, please." Edited By: LimitedRetroOG 10/11/2009 2:52 PM.

It's not the best phone but it works for me. Maybe you could try something like that.

Verizon doesn't terminate lines without documentation for whatever your excuse is.

If you're in the army and want your contract put on hold, they require documentation of where you're going, etc. They're pretty hardcore about that stuff.

It's awesome, I luuurve it. My problem is that I think I'm in that program but with this shitty ass phone. Because my mom is retarded and used my upgrade for me without asking me what I wanted. If I sign up for a new 2 year program, does that mean I have to pay for breaking the one that I have now?
