Just curious if Verizon will follow AT&T on offering the same deals to existing customers, as new customers? Seems like AT&T has figured out how to keep their current customers happy, and probably will be stealing a lot of customers from Verizon. I have been a Verizon customer and had the same phone number since the day of Alltel, 20+ years. It is always the same when wanting to upgrade a phone, either pay more, or add a new phone number. It is very discouraging to have to deal with that after being a customer for so long. I just don't buy phones from Verizon. I go to Ebay, Amazon, or Craigslist. No contract and no getting messed up over on the cost of a new phone, just because Verizon does indeed care more about attracting new customers then keeping the ones they have happy. They try to sugar coat it, and say they have good deals for existing customers, but the deals are not really very good any way. So they can follow AT&T, or start loosing customers. Their choice.
