I was looking at switching to a 2yr contract with Verizon instead of my pay as you go. I went into the local corporate store and was told that my balance would not carry over if I switched because my number was ported from a different company and their computer program specifically stated that my balance would not transfer due to this. Since this is the case, If I cancel my pay as you go and switch to a contract, what happens to my money? There is over $100 that is an excess balance on my account and I don't want to lose that. Will I get a check returned to me since it wont transfer?
