Re: Verizon Sleaziness



Welcome to Verizon's amazing customer service. I still get pissed off when I
hear shit like this. All these cell phone companies have these ridiculous
early termination fees. Not one company has the balls or service good enough
not to have some thing like that. Henry my son, you'll get no sympathy from
the people here. They'll tell you to re-read some contract or some other
bullshit like that. Ya know, a bunch of great helpful people.
