Brand new S 5 phone last Thursday, works perfectly. Friday Verizon pushed Lollipoop (intended) update, and now I cannot send text messages. Best they can offer me is a replacement refurbished phone. ITS TWO DAYS OLD!!!! They say the problem requires me to get a new phone. Got the original new phone from COSTCO, an authorized reseller. But Verizon will not replace the phone because their inventory systems are not connected with COSTCO. Guess were COSTCO sends the phone when I take it back to get a new one this Thursday?? VERIZON!!! So the question is, do I get a new phone or wait for the expected fix for the text messaging issue? The new plan has unlimited text, (of course, I can't send any, what a deal.) I apologies here for the rant. Been a customer since Verizon was Cellular One, over 15 years ago. Service has gotten nothing but worse over the years. The rep used to meet me anywhere I was at, job site, office, home, and hand me a new phone whenever I had any issues and we were done in 5 minutes. So that quality of service is gone, I go to a store, wait around for almost 1 to 2 hours typically, and walk out with a broken phone. Almost EVERYTIME I upgrade. Each of the last 2 upgrades went through similar replacements, 5 years ago with the Droid Incredible, 3 years ago with a RAZOR. So again I ask, when will the patch be released?
