I'll bet if you show them your past 5 or 10 bills with a whole bunch of
international text messages on them VZW will be more likely to go along.

If you don't use ITM, you have nothing to show for being "materially
affected" by this change. Therefore I can't see any reason for them to let
you out. I don't actually (this time) find their stance unreasonable.

If they doubled the price of calls to Pakistan, and my records show I've
never called Pakistan once in the 15 years I've dealt with them, I EXPECT to
get laughed at when I call up crying "materially affected!!"

Unfortunately, when trying to be helpful, people post info about these
changes, some of us get all excited, thinking it's a free pass to get out of
the contract. Not.

I always sign a one-year contract. When you do that, you generally don't
have much to lose UNLESS you happen to move to an area where Verizon doesn't
work.....and in that case, I've heard of exceptions being made.
