At this point I would go into a corporate store and look at phones.  Tell them your needs and see what deals they have.  I am a phone person so like my Samsung note 10 plus which is pricey.  My son is not a phone person so got him a lower end Samsung last Christmas for $200 and he is perfectly happy with it.  I prefer to look at phones in person so I can see the size of the screen and how it feels in my hand.

They simply want to know if they can pay the difference on better phones from the upgrade offer they received for lower end phones.  Should be a simple yes or no answer I would think.

They stated their private messaging at the top of this page  is not working when they respond so need to fix that before you can help them with the original problem it seems as they have no other way to reach our for help.

I am disappointed with your decision stating that Verizon will not allow me to use a promo credit to obtain a much better phone than the free  garbage phones (based on Verizon website customer reviews).  I feel that  I made a decent offer to allow me to upgrade, as you requested) and still obtain a phone that I feel would be of much better quality and would meet my needs.

Hopefully, you will re-consider and come up with a deal we can both agree with.

Why do people feel so entitled these days that a company should do certain things for them?  There are a lot of other carriers offering deals that might better suit people.  Here AT&T keeps advertising existing members get the same deals as new members so I bet a lot of people are switching.
