- you received a bill for service. if you haven't cancelled service, then what did you expect - that they'd know you weren't using the phone and therefore should not have to pay for access? just because you don't drive the car, doesn't mean you don't have to make the payment...
and usually the first bill is really high because nothing is paid up front for service. once you cancel it, then you won't be charged for future service (but you're still responsible for charges through the end of the bill cycle as per the customer agreement).01-05-09 03:47 PMLike 0 - Just cause you didn't use the phone doesn't mean you won't get a bill. Since you were gonna pay the termination fee, you should have done that the same day and the bill would have been smaller. Or better yet, just pay full retail $500, now I am sure it is gonna cost you more than that.01-05-09 03:47 PMLike 0

You can pay the bill and start using the phone for verizon or pay the bill and the $175 early termination fee.01-05-09 03:57 PMLike 0 -
total of $60.00 plus taxes.
the best thing to do is cancel paying the eraly termination fee of $175 of cancel you t-mobile line...01-05-09 04:02 PMLike 0 - I feel no remorse for what the O.P. is going through. The first month has your first partial month to the end of the bill cycle and the next month's full plan for the month ahead. If you didn't cancel your service after you got the phone, then you screwed up and yes, you are responsible for the entire bill. Again, no remorse from me, sorry.01-05-09 05:32 PMLike 0

Verizon's Test Drive program will give you back a credit for certain charges of the bill, but only if you take the number to another cellular provider (and I'm not sure if the Test Drive program applies to people who signed up at Best Buy).01-05-09 05:40 PMLike 0 - 1st...the test drive is only a way out if its under 30 days...and you have to return equipment...
if you got the phone at best buy...you will be charged retail for the phone. have fun.01-05-09 07:00 PMLike 0 - I thought if you cancel and keep the phone, you pay the etf plus get charged the whole price of the phone (or at least enough to make the total equal to the total price of a phone out of contract). They are not in the business of giving anyone a break on equipment. You may feel smart about trying to save 50 bucks or whatever, but you may want to be prepared to be F'd in the A by the big V. :-)01-05-09 07:21 PMLike 0
- Just take your licks and learn that cheating can have unpleasant side effects. There aren't any free rides, and this kind of thing is annoying to those of us that play fair. Do you work for free?
