We have talked over cell phone companies before and I have always been
happy with mine up until yesterday.
I have a family plan with Verizon, which I have had a few years.
Earlier this year I upgraded both my wife's and mine cell phones,
which required a new two year contract. We also have two other phones
part of this family plan.
Over the past few months my one son has monopolized the plan and
caused me to pay overages, so I put it to him, either shape up or get
your own plan. He and his friend did just that. (he is in college)
So now I have this extra phone and line I do not need. I called
Verizon and they want to charge me $175.00 to drop this line. His line
is a secondary line on my plan and not one I had purchased a phone on
(He supplied his own phone). Turns out they want $175 for each line
if I wanted to cancel with them. (I talked with the local outfit who
I signed up with and the little girl there was awfully snooty about it.)
Anyone know any tricks or special ways to get around this? I do not
want to keep an extra line for the next year and a half, neither do I
want to spend $175. to cancel a line that is not going to be used. I
am pretty mad at them right now, and they will no longer get
recommendations from me to any local people.
Thanks.

Stewart, While I only got a Verizon cell plan a couple of months ago, I
remember having to go through a situation similar to yours, with anothe
company. They wanted to penalize my (ex)fiance n' I for leaving the
company when, we had already had the plan two years which is what the
original agreement stated. I told them, I was prepared to take them to
court for lying on the original agreement. That is when they backed
down and, did not charge my (ex)fiance n' I for switching.
