For the first time since getting a cell phone I am seriously considering leaving Verizon. Yeah I felt screwed by their attitude with my old UDP. But I kept it even though I paid full price for my phone (something we pretty much do now anyway). Almost everyone I know in my area has Verizon as ATT was spotty and the others virtually non-existent. Reason for my likely switch to ATT? I pretty much felt treated like crap yesterday when I dropped into a Verizon store to see and hold a S8+. Asked what kind of deal I could make to exchange my S7 edge that I was basically forced to take when I had to turn in my beloved Note 7. Vague statements about how I could trade it in for something I wanted were made. Yesterday I was told point blank that I would have to come up with $535 to pay it off and then trade it for the S8+ on their pay for it monthly plan. Our way or the highway.
Went to ATT to see what they would do. Pay off my S7, let me pay the S8+ monthly for $10 less/mo than Verizon, and give me some great perks because I also have DirecTV. Had to sleep on it as the phone in hand is worth 2 in bush. Only ATT friend drops calls to me all the time and never have dropped one with Verizon.
Before I get toasted on the Note 7 thing I know that was not Verizon's fault in any way (could have handled it better early in my view). Just mad at them now but want to have ducks in a row before I do something that turns out to be stupid.
