$500 here. I was 6-9 months into a renewed contract (newest Palm Treo).
NO deals, NOT even the $250 deal sans $50 debit card.
FALSE.
ADVERTISING.
I read zero noting a $500 phone charge. Every ad I read noted $250, less $50 with rebate.........
RAPING if you ask me.
I've been a loyal Verizon business account customer for many years. Shame they falsely advertised this as a 'deal'.
