Thanks for your insight on the pathology of contracts. I'd held the same 1yr contract with Verizon, since they were GTE, with only 2 models used. I switched from the walkie-talkie sized model to one the size of a cigarette box with no bells or whistles. I declined all the offers for change since, until 4mos ago, because I felt a big change with new technology coming in. It wasn't long before I got a letter from Verizon regarding that change and informing me that my current model wouldn't be compatible (go figure). So, I changed, and the contract is 2yrs. I wasn't unhappy with their services; I only needed basic, except for the new vCast, I quickly had it removed; what a rip for an extra $15/mo! Anyway, I was gifted a new iPhone last week and I'm wondering how to make the switch, as painlessly as possible, while keeping my current number, of course. Any ideas?
