Just had a conversation with VZW

At about 9:00 P.M. on July 13 I had a chat with a VZW rep, via their chat window on their site. Here is the conversation. (I wonder if I was talking to a computer? :rofl3 I copied and pasted it here.

I had a similar conversation over the phone with a local VZW store who will be shipping my X for delivery on Friday.

 

lol that is one advanced robot or one weird person

 

Like most call centers, I'm sure they have macros for 1-clicking greeting/closing, and scripts that are also likely macro'd for common questions. I don't think when you call you're speaking to a :motdroidvert:.

 

i dont either but the OP said chat window

 

I have a droid with 2yr contract. and other 2 lines under my name are all elgible upgrade.
so I went to VZW store today for asking alternate upgrade and a sales rep said he can order mine on thursday and I can get it on friday at the door.
all I have to pay is $35 restocking fee and I get a droid X and my droid will be a free contract phone.
