I know in today's world everyone has a smart phone... Well I currently still have an old LG ENV VX9900 with the $50.00 prepaid unlimited plan. My charger recently broke and I tried looking for the charger at a few stores and realized this is going to be hard unless I go on eBay or Amazon. Well my friend had a good idea and gave me her old LG ENV TOUCH vx11000 instead of searching around for a charger. I called Verizon yesterday 2/18/2014 and explained to them about everything that happened and what I wanted to do. After speaking with 3 different representatives, they will not change my phone to the LG ENV TOUCH VX11000 because it's considered a smart phone! The phone was released in 2009 jerks!! How is that equivalent to an iPhone or Android?? It doesn't even have WIFI!! I just added money to my account a week ago and have service until 3/11/2014, they advised me if I want to activate the LG ENV TOUCH VX11000 I have to re-purchase another $50.00 plan and basically just waste the remaining time I have.. How is this fair??? I didn't want to change my phone because of boredom, my charger broke and a friend gave me another older phone that I can use. What is the big deal?? I paid for my services, what does it matter... The basic phone plan and the smartphone plan are both the same price jerks!! $50.00!! So I did what any person would do after this, I filed a complaint with the BBB of NJ hoping to get some justice for this. I don't see anywhere on their website (the prepaid section) where it states this that you cannot change your phone and have to pay more $$$. Verizon, this is another way of you scamming money from people because your so expensive for your contract plans and people are dropping you like flies, so you have to make the money up somehow!! Well, doing it like this you should be ashamed of yourselves!!
