Who I have the same questioned this topic

Is anyone else completely annoyed and angry off that in order to get a good deal on a new phone, that you either have to be a new customer, or activate a new line. I have been with Verizon since the day’s of Altel. I have had the same number for 20 years. Why should I have to change my number and add a line to get the same deals? Verizon is about to loose a long time customer over $7.00 a month. I am interested in getting the Moto G Stylus, but am not willing to pay$12.49 a month, when a new customer can get it for $5. So much for good customer service, and loyalty benefits.
