Are Verizon Reps Pushing 4G Android Smartphones Over The 3G iPhone?
Is there some kind of anti-iPhone conspiracy going on at Verizon Wireless stores? Some customers think so, but perhaps it's just a matter of 4G versus 3G. After all, there is no 4G-compatible iPhone for Verizon, and many customers want the fastest, newest technology.

Verizon Charges You Extra $700 For Returning A Phone
Ron is a longtime, loyal Verizon Wireless customer. Things were going quite well until he returned a new phone recently. This phone was somehow never logged in at the warehouse, and Verizon keeps piling equipment fees on Ron's account. Now his service has been shut off, which is bad news for him and for his patients: he's a doctor and on call. He has FedEx tracking info indicating that he sent the phone back, but Verizon didn't record it on their end.

Can I Game Verizon's System To Get An Awesome New Phone?
Robert has his eye on a shiny new smartphone, and he's eligible for an upgrade. He's on a family plan, and has devised a scheme to take advantage of some promotions. These promotions are intended for new Verizon customers, so his plan is to discontinue one of the lines on his account, and start a new one in order to get the discounts and perks that come with a "new" line. He wonders: has anyone else out there tried this and succeeded?
