Sorry, but what are the strings? The $175 cancellation policy doesn't
really bother me if I was going to be with them already and they paid for my
phone.

Now if I was planning on leaving them that would be another story. Seems
the phone user needs to have a plan and stick with it. If they are going to
stay with Verizon anyway over the 1-2 year period, the 'strings' are not
really strings.

However, if you hate your cell phone company, then you will have a you go
your way and I will go my way attitude where your buy your phone off ebay
and you have no 'contract' with Verizon. I can relat to that also.

Seems like two ways to go.
