I've only been reading this news group for a few months, but my impression
is that the least realiable place to get an answer about Verizon is inside a
retail store. I would call or email "customer service" with your question.
Alternately I suspect someone in the NG also knows the answer. I would
distrust any answer from clerks in stores until that answer has been
supported elsewhere.
