Or, you could have simply called customer service (800) 922-0204 and asked to be disconnected "because the service was too expensive" or "because (other carrier) offered me a better deal." Of course, disconnected numbers can't be ported, so (other carrier) will have to give you a new number. Sure, they'll give some "save" offers, like changing plans, discounts on equipment, converting to a mobile broadband plan, but those are part of the metrics that determine how much they paid- as are percentage of disconnects. Or, as mentioned previously, just set up service with (other carrier) and port the VZW number- and follow up to make sure your VZW line is actually disconnected- and don't wait weeks or months to follow through (that's called "C your own A"). Picking a fight with a sales person is always a pointless exercise, be it cell phones or used cars or microwave ovens.
