They cost so much money without plans! One of my friends lost his phone that he got with a contract for 30$ but when he wanted to buy it, it turned out the phone was worth over 500$, ai that sucked.

Although I was out of contract at the time, I used an old phone to wait it out until Verizon had the phone I wanted. I was able to activate it online and didn't pay an activation fee. Instead of running out and getting new phones, by being able to wait it out, my wife and I were able to upgrade for free. Last year, I lost my LG VX-6000, which I had for 3 years.

I think that fee is only assessed at the beginning of a contract. I have not seen my latest statement yet, either. None of the CSR's that I worked with, made any reference to it. The last three years have had some of the wettest, snowiest weather that I can remember. I am looking forward to sunny and 70 this weekend in Denver. . .

I renewed with Sprint last summer and got one of the low-end new phones. Turns out, the battery life on this thing stinks and I wish I could use my old phone, which I still have and it works fine. I'm guessing they'd charge me to reactivate the old phone??? ps- You left some great weather up here in Wisconsin. Rain, rain, go away.... Did Sprint charge you anything to activate the phones?
