I meant that once you are in The Verizon Web, you are stuck with them until you pay off the phone. I tried to pay off the Primary Phone and jump ship to Comcast early with no luck.

It makes sense though. With Verizon, if you time it correctly you get a new phone and then the second one for "Free". But you have to spend the entire Two Years With them UNTIL THE ORIGINAL PHONE IS PAID OFF. Otherwise, the Second Phone is NOT FREE ANYMORE. The illusion of having no contract is appealing but you actually have a leash on you for TWO YEARS. THEY ARE NOT STUPID.

If I didn't Splain this well I'll try it again.

Bottom line is managing your Data usage and going over to Comcast eventually on the Verizon Network is the best deal. IMHO Whew!
