Warning: please read my first post about verizon edge or you will be confused! Problem: Verizon edge is Turning into the biggest rip-off in the history of wireless service rip-offs because now they want 75 percent paid off before you can get a new device, thankfully people are locked in to the 50 and 60 percent verizon edge contracts and I'm locked in to the 50 percent verizon edge contact, new contracts with verizon edge very soon will now require 75 percent before you can get a new device whith is a year and a half and will only be a half year shorter then a 2 year contract whith is a rip off!!! My soluction: when my verizon edge contract is up i will be switching back to cricket wireless and have all the freedom of no contracts ever again plus they run on the att network whith is a good network so i am switching back to cricket next year!!!!
