Christopher thanks for sharing. I wonder what the author's credentials are for writing the article. After the second attempt, at&t unlocked my phone. While the article makes me think I may be in luck that my phone will work on Verizon, apparently the only way to know for sure is yet one more trip to the store. I am sooo hoping for a happy ending smile!!
