Switching phones causes warranty to cancel??
Just got off the phone with Verizon billing. During the discussion, I was told that if I swap phones (go to the Verizon site and switch devices and hit *228 on the phone), the system would see the activation of the phone as being a "customer provided phone" and the warranty would be ended.
Example: I have a Storm. I buy an Android. Verizon activates the Android. The next day I switch to the Storm. The next day I go back to the Android. The billing guy says that switch back to Android triggers the system to declare my Android to be a "customer provided phone" and the warranty goes POOF.
Anyone ever heard of such a thing? Doesn't make sense to me, but whatever.
EDIT: I got clarification from Verizon. It seems that reactivating a new phone DOES indeed flag that phone as a "customer provided phone", BUT IF you have a warranty issue later on with said phone, Verizon reps will review the purchase date and the MEID to determine that the phone is indeed covered by the 1 year warranty. that makes more sense!
