I had a pretty long time with one at the VW store. I thought it might be
Verizon's iPhone. It is not.
First, it is HEAVY. I put it in my pocket and was very much aware of it.
It is about the same size as the iPhone but the weight makes a big
difference.

A clued CS rep. I'm paying EXACTLY the same rate for the same plan
that I had when I left but I didn't drop service for as long as you
did.

That was the way it was after my last contract expired. And I did drop
service for several years. I called VZN the other day to re-up and was told
I could get a higher no contract rate or go for a term contract and get a
package rate and be subject to early terminate fee if I canceled before the

Actually, mobile companies in many (most?) other countries run their
business exactly like that. Plans which aren't paying for a phone are
cheaper than equivalent plans which came with a phone. Even in the US
T-Mobile gives you a $10/month break on their contract-free,
no-phone-subsidy plans now.
Unfortunately the market in the US doesn't seem to be as intensely

You're wrong. You can sign on to VZW w/o a contract if you have your
own phone, exactly the situation that I'm in now.

What's wrong here is that the numbers VZW claims are the prices of the
gear are just random numbers, pulled out of their asses to make some
spreadsheet work.
Example: go to VZW's site and look for the Samsung Smooth 350.
$70--but "FREE with two year contract!" Right? Seventy dollars.
