i found out today that something happened due me, and offset the pain. i closed contract, and went prepaid same day, and was verified, that since i never left verizon, that i do not have to pay the fee and they waived it. if i cancelled and left, it would stand. am i getting another device like the note 7, i dont think so. im done with that latest and greatest smartphone. btw,,,,,,,another note7 is coming soon thats finally going to have the 6 gigs.
