Farmers Insurance Agent Jason Weeks

19 years with Verizon Wireless! A Verizon rep visited my office about a week ago and convinced me the business plan would be a better deal. Better “unlimited” plan plus no contract all at a lower rate. AND trade in our old phones for 2 new phones. I’ll just skip the details and summarize…

Old bill $250ish per month

New adventure
First bill $585
Ongoing $325
Paid two devices off at about $1000
Tax on two upgrades with trade in $160

I also now have 2 extra phone numbers with the new phones active on those lines rather than on the two numbers we got them for!

I hope Verizon can untangle this mess!
