verizin' up!
MUAHAHAHA! It couldn't come soon enough, and the last day of my verizon contract is fast approaching. But even better than that, I have stepped up the end of the agony. Exploiting the text message fee increase contract termination loophole trick, I won freedom from the contract, effective at the end of my billing cycle (about two weeks from now) which is about 2 months before the actual end of the contract.
Contrary to some reports, it took only a few minutes of chatting with the reasonably pleasant verizon rep, and I didn't need to ask for a supervisor or come up with elaborate arguments to get out of the contract. It was actually rather easy. But don't get me wrong, verizon still sucks. At least now I will no longer be a contract slave, so I'll be able to laugh at their suckage from a safe distance.
