cancelling service With Verizon after 31 days ...
- I'm still pursuing this question as my 30th day will come up soon. I've probably talked to over a dozen VZW customer service representative and they told me that they have never heard anything where I would get billed for the difference between the purchase price and the retail price of the phone if I cancel and don't return the phone. They have consistently said that if I dont return the phone, I will only get charged $175 ETF even if within 30 days as long as the phone is not returned.
So for folks who activated a VZW line to get a STORM knowing that they will cancel and keep the phone, I guess the "30 day" rule doesn't really apply anymore. You keep the phone and pay $175 either way.
I'm hoping by this time though, people who have done this may shed some light on this topic.12-26-08 12:35 PMLike 0 -

Not that this is going to happen in my case as I'm satisfied with my Storm and corporate service rates. This thread just intrigues me for some reason.12-26-08 01:19 PMLike 0 - You are defenitly going to get charged the difference between retail and the discounted price...I work for Verizon...
The 175 is for breaking the contract...it has nothing to do with the subsidized cost of the phone. You cancelling under 6 months is why you will be charged the difference in the phone..
think about it...do you really think they would let you out of a 2 year agreement, AND let you keep a phone that you paid less than half of what it costs for only 175...that doesnt even cover the loss on the phone, let alone the fact that you bailed on a contract.

DEACTIVATING THIS PHONE OR DOWNGRADING FEATURES OR RATE PLAN MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL CHARGES
Our goal is to provide you with the very best purchasing experience possible, including huge savings vs. buying in a retail store. Your phone purchase price was reduced by an Equipment Discount of $200 ($300 for PDA's/smart phones). By accepting this price reduction, you agreed to repay this discount if, during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, you:
Fail to pay your balance due to Verizon Wireless each month
Disconnect this Verizon Wireless line of service
Transfer this equipment to another Verizon Wireless line of service
Change your Verizon Wireless service rate plan to a lower monthly service rate
Deactivate the email/data feature if one was required at the point of purchase
Transfer/port an existing phone number from another Verizon Wireless account if this is a new line of service
Replace an existing account with Verizon Wireless with this account if this is a new line
Return or exchange your phone and it is not in its original, new condition with no more than 30 minutes of usage
If you break any of these contract provisions, except as a result of a documented service quality issue related to the carrier service, you authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of the Equipment Discount.
If you have any questions, please see our website for further details or call us at:

STORM PRICE = $599
Purchase Price From Anywhere = $199
ETF = $175
$199 + $175 <> $599!
verizon would be losing money! This debunks ETF covers subsidy price! Maybe for chaper phones they allowed this but when your talking about a $600 phone, it doesnt!
You are going to pay more than $175 if you cancel at 31 days!
And i hope you do get charged, your trying to scam verizon by signing a contract, renegging on that contract and ending better off then when you started that is a scam. YOU make MY phone bill HIGHER.
EDIT: thanks BEERJEFFDUBB! You jsut provided all the proof needed.Last edited by cray1000; 12-30-08 at 01:19 AM.
