This sucks. I guess I have learned a $500 lesson. I don't want to take a chance on hurting my credit, especially since I am just about to leave college and enter the work force.

I will be getting rid of my cell phone in September, when my contract ends. I will also let Verizon know why I did this, and I will make it a point to discourage anyone from signing up for that piece of crap of a company.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You just learned something that a lot of us learn much later in life.

Congrats on the degree!

You can always work a deal. The trick is to find out who can say yes. Most everyone you are apt to talk to is authorized to only say no. The one who can say yes is well insulated but not impossible to find. You'll have to give something to get something but I've always found you can work a deal.

1,200 minutes? That's 40 minutes per day, EVERY day of a 30 day month.

I run a business and don't spend that much time on the phone.

And, I agree with the majority here. You need to pay this to stay off the sh*t list at TRW
