I am replying to mama23dogs Sr. Leader:  You said my thoughts exactly.  So with all that being said...  how do I get Verizon to STOP charging me for monthly service charges on that unused line??!! I understand continuing to make payments on the actual phone itself but to continue charging me $100+ a month for services on a line that has not been used, nor will it be used, since last September/October is causing me financial grief.  I have tried and yet Verizon continues to charge me and then when I cannot afford to pay bill each month because of excessive charges, I get almost turned off, late fees, etc.  HELP PLEASE!!
