will i be charged?

So you get a credit. Then you get a charge for the remainder of the cycle on the different plan. As long as the ...

I love it when customers bill in arrears. And the system gives me a message telling me so.

I was going to post this, but alas, as always, you beat me to it. I just wish every Verizon customer knew to look here (or even how to use a computer). *sigh*
