You bill should not change much at all month to month because of government gharges and the Verizon fees. If it changes that much (say more than a $1) then you are being charged for something else.

oh yea sometimes it is a few bucks diff and we have unlimited texting..i have called about it and the people just say that they can never guarntee the month to month because fees change...makes no sense

are their data charges?

Does anyone on your account:
Browse the internet
Look up the weather
search for ringtones or ringbacks from your phone


All of these incur data charges at 1.99 a Megabyte. This is the most common place extra charges come from. I would check the data section on your bill.

The only way you can get out of your contract is if the price per megabyte or the amount of minutes on your plan changes without your consent.


Fees and taxes will vary from month to month, and a nice chunk of them are government mandated so VZW has no control.

By the sounds of it, if you cancel you will have to pay an early term because verizon has not changed anything about their contracts since you signed them.

Nope. Due to the secretive "nature" of the military they can't make you prove it.

holy cow! thats great! it really works or you playin with me
?

LOL. I've been VZW for about a month and loving it.

ok that is great that you love it but does not answer the question lol 🙄

The part you are looking for is "i'm VZW free"
Which means i'm no longer a customer. Thank god. I used what i explained earlier.

oh sorry my bad......were you able to port your number or did you have to get a new one? Who do you have now? You juts called and said i need to cancel my plan cuz im goi
ng over seas and that was that? sweet!

It isnt going to work for you.

I highly doubt you can port your number.. I mean that would be a little too fishy. What's a number anyways =P. I went with t-mobile. Where i live they are far superior plus I go out of the country alot and enjoying using other providers' sim cards with my phone while roaming. Plus they run 20-30 less expensive per month and have better phones. I currently use a G1. Don't want to turn this into an ad or anything but i'm extremely happy.

Just cancel the service and pay whatever your termination fees are. It is funny how customers will do anything to get a phone...the will also do anything that will get them out of a contract that they signed and agreed to. Funny isn't it????

about as funny as the illegal nature of many of the things verizon wireless does...this is not the forum for this discussion however. if you can not contribute possively than go back to your minimum waige counter and move along...

Minimum waige?? Or minimum wage?? The point is this....you signed a contract, abide by the agreement you signed. It would be nice to weasel out my phone contract, mortage, car loan, student loans... but I can't, I agreed to the terms on all of them. I understand you want to do what is best for your situation, but don't try to weasel out of the contract by saying you are going out of the country. When they ask you for proof, what are you going to do then?

Actually this is the forum for these discussions. Where, if not here, IS the forum?

You are the one that resigned with them to get a subsidy on new equipment and now you are ranting about things they do that are illegal? Give me a break.

And you are the one who asked these "minimum wage" folks how to get out of your contract.

Did you know 98% of the time its the CUSTOMERS FAULT (you) to WHY there bill is messed up.

Taxes and Fees DO NOT go up and down every month.

You WILL need to pay your ETF fee if you like it or not.

You had 30 day's.

The Air Force/Army thing won't work.

You must have proof, which is WHY the Air Force/Army sends you re-location orders.

How do i know?

My DAD was in the Air Force.

Just go threw your bill, im sure it has to do with Data.

Illegal?

That is what we call a false argument. Verizon charging you for services YOU participate in is not illegal. The fact that you don't want to pay for them is your problem. Pay the early term fees and move on if you really don't like the service.

And I love it how when you were asking for our help to cheat the contract we were "smart" but as soon as we called you on it you started saying we had "minimum wage" jobs.

I've never worked minimum wage, since I started working at 16. Why in the world would I start now?

Stop acting like a spoiled child and pay the fees. Verizon DID NOT change the terms of their contract, so if you want to get out of it, you need to pay the fees.


If you disagree with the fees pay full retail for your phone next time. Then you dont have to worry about any early terms.

Military orders would have to be provided in order to weasel out of your contract. Even when it comes to "secrecy" you'll still have orders.

I had AT&T service when I was deployed to Iraqistan. I was a 97B with Top Secret security clearance, they STILL provided me with deployment papers and I STILL had to show AT&T to get them to drop the remainder of the contract.

Thank you! Its outrageous crap like this that makes our jobs difficult. Every so often a person has a legit reason to cancel sans ETF. I'd say 95% of the time people just want to see what they can get away with. Which is nothing if you get me. Provide me proof, I'll disconnect you with no ETF, no problem, and wish you luck. Otherwise, prepare to pay. I won't help you cancel ETF free no questions asked, ever, and no good rep should.

What has been suggested is known in legal terms as FRAUD. Impersonating a military officer is also not a wise decision (they tend to frown upon that). And contrary to what has been provided to you by this individual, you are required to provide proof of deployment. So I would not suggest attempting this as Verizon Wireless will put up a fight and you may face more of a battle than you bargain for if your not careful.

Furthermore...as it has previously been stated...you agreed to a contract and are now trying to violate that contract. So either fulfill your contract or deal with the penalty that you have to endure for violating that contract. Companies are not charities...they don't survive by giving things away for free like you want...

lol what an idiot

military officer lol...spell check...violate.....spoken like a true wanna be person....

I'm not the one that believes they can commit fraud 🙂 ...and believe me...I know of what I speak...much more than you ever will.

sounds like u have served jail time for breaking the law....with that being the case i will no longer reply....as an attorney i do not need to be connected with people like that..sorry but good luck

Actually no...nice try. As an attorney, I'd think you could spell better. I just happen to know Verizon's policy on this matter much better than you. And on the subject...you had an out with your post back in December it appears...https://www.phonescoop.com/carriers /forum.php?fm=m&ff=2&fi=1946866...should have left then. Now you'll just have to pay the ETF's if you lose. ENJOY! 😁

I find it ironic how whenever a customer is told they are at fault they suddenly are important "attorney's, business executives," or some other person who tries putting themselves as more important than we "lowly sales representatives."

If you really are an attorney, good for you. You know your codes. We know our job and we understand the contracts that we ask customers to sign. Don't presume that you are somehow more knowledgeable simply because of a claim you make over THE INTERNET about going to some overpriced school to still not understand anything about contracts.

Exactly what kind of an attorney doesn't want to associate with those who break the law? THAT IS YOUR CORE JOB.

What a joke.

you are an idiot..an attorney deals with "criminals" that are clients...not posers on some website...wow..amazing how a simple question brings all of the losers out

At least I am not stuck in a contract attempting to commit fraud.

What do you call 5000 Lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

A good start!

You are an attorney? You are not even competent enough to analyze your bill. There are several charges that will vary based off of overage charges or data charges on your bill. You would most likely be on nationwide calling plans and likely be getting data charges.

You state it is a few dollars yet cry like a Walmart employee as though you are on a minimum wage budget. We all know you are not an attorney and likely this whole thread you started is a load of crap. Hopefully your next wireless carrier will charge you legally as VZW has so you can post about them scamming and charing invalid charges.

If you still feel that you are being screwed call in and ask for a Sup, if they can't explain ask for their AD and I'm pretty sure you will ...
(continues)

You DO need to provide proof. If it's due to military deployment, then you'll need to provide contact information for your commanding officer. If it's due to simply moving out of the service area (even if it's out of the country), then you'll need to provide proof of your new address in the form of a utility bill.

Really, if you were careless enough to sign another two-year contract without thinking things through, then just pay the ETF's. And you'll be looking at around $155-165 per line, for the record.

Really, if you're actually an attorney as you claim in your other posts, then this situation has killed any chances of me ever respecting an attorney. It just shows how damn crooked a lot of you really are. And, in the off chance that...
(continues)

yes you will. I am in the military and just got back from Iraq. There is nothing secret to overseas military orders. I got them and had to provide them. It does not say were you are going other then in support of Iraqi freedom and the operation number. In my case I went all of 08 so it was OIF 8-1 and 8-2. Fist number is the year and the second is the number of deployment in that year. Changes for services but the marines do 7 month deployments mostly so there are 2 a year that go.

That's why I want him to take them to court. He won't listen to any of us. Perhaps he will listen to a judge.

How many of these worthless mouth breathers a day do we see?

I want to get out of my contract because of bla bla bla don't bill me ETF

I work for so and so give me a discount

Give me Free because i am a self entitled mouth breather.

I want to say a full 95% of all wireless customers are completely worthless as human beings waste sales staffs time all day bickering over things they have no control over and try and beat the person down verbaly from across the counter because they are a customer and they can twitch and get the sales person fired. Hey customer land, just about every manager in this industry that i know personally will listen to this drivel you spew give the worker a little guff in front of you and the two of the...

instead of complaining about customers why not be thankful you have a job? Read about the layoffs in the thread below?

You do realize that one of the reason the layoffs are occuring is because people like you complain about ETFs and do everything possible to get out of them, right?

Or the customers who try and strong arm salespeople into giving everything to free making stores unprofitable.

Or demand phones for free, forcing companies to subsidize them more and more, making contracts less profitable for the companies (on a secondary line, companies make next to no money if the customer gets a high end phone.


No one is saying the people losing their jobs should be ignored, but that doesn't give you a right to contribute to the problem.
