When I upgraded my FiOs to Quantum I received a voucher that says "Claim Your Complimentary Tablet Today!" I am instructed to bring the voucher in to a Verizon Wireless corporate store and pick one of two 8-inch tablets. I selected the LG G Pad 8.3 LTE. The sales associate informed me that I would have to pay tax on the retail price of the tablet, which I expected, but I would also have to pay a $40 "Upgrade Fee." You see, I have an old tablet and I want to swap the number from that one to the new one. Reading the terms of the "free tablet" it says I would be required to pay an activation fee/line: up to $35. A few questions since I already have a line, do I need to activate it, or is the fee required to activate the tablet? can I still get the table if I don't want to activate it and use it exclusively with wi-fi? can I take the voucher to Costco and get the table? and in whose world is $60 (tax and activation) the definition of "Complimentary?"
