Let's test Verizon for $10 using Pageplus prepaid, which is on Verizon 
nationwide.

Find someone who has a decommissioned Verizon or Alltel CDMA phone that 
still works and charges.  Look under the battery for the Electronic 
Serial Number (MEID it's called).  Write it down.

Boot up the phone on whatever system it accesses and let logon to the 
system.  Dial #737 and it will connect to Pageplus from anywhere.  
Follow the prompts to install it onto Pageplus for $10 off your credit 
card.  It will ask you for the MEID, just key it in.  $10 will get you 
service and 100 minutes, giving you plenty of time to check out Verizon 
on the new number on Pageplus to see if Verizon has good, reliable 
service where you want to use it, like from home.  There IS a whopping 
50c/month service charge that will come off your balance each month.

Whoever gave you the phone will probably tell you to keep it (I have 4) 
as they have a new, more glitzy superphone that takes military quality 
recon photos, 4G internet and Boze stereo so won't want it back.

If you want a Verizon superphone, just let the Pageplus phone use up the 
minutes over the next 4 months and it will stop working....or, if you 
like to save money, just recharge the phone with a discount PIN number 
from Callingmart.com.  $50 Pins are $45-47 for 1000 mins.  $80 Pins are 
now 2000 minutes, or 3.6c/min with no funny business.  No monthly bill 
is kinda fun after you get used to it......or you can just give the 
phone back to your benefactor and become a Verizon Contract Slave to 
hand over your paycheck every month for 2 years so you can play WebTV on 
a Glitzphone 8000 to impress the girls.

Gives you a really cheap, no hassle way to test Verizon's system where 
you live without that resistance of taking back the phone and trying to 
beg them to cancel your contract....which they just don't want to do, of 
course......

Better PP instructions for really cheap Verizon service is on:
http://nordicgroup.us/prepaid/pageplus.html
Where it says 5.3c/min think 3.6c/min
Where it says 1400 mins think 2000 mins.
The webpage numbers need updating but the ideas are quite valid.
