Having experienced the same issue you report, I would definitely seek leagl advice. Overbilling when a contract exist certainly in my opinion constitutes "BREECH OF CONTRACT" to which you have legal remedies available to you. Take advantage and seek leagl counsel because this is the only way these criminals get the message, through their wallets!!! Wish you the best of luck regarding Verizon! They are nothing more than corporate criminals which seems to be the "American" way of doing business these days! Might be the reason we are so "Hated" through out the world??

In Re: to the billing issue of over 200$ every month, I cannot make a comment on b/c I haven't personally handled this account. If you spilled water on your phone & had no insurance that is a damage that is not covered under the manufacturers warranty & u do have to pay full retail price for the phone OR try to find one on ebay. Purchasing a phone @ full retail does not start your contract over. Anyone can walk into a verizon wireless store & purchase a phone w/o a contract which is essentially paying the full retail price of the phone. There are cheaper phones than paying 269.99, most peole simply want the best flip/color/camera phone there is and in order to have that you do have to pay the full retail price. Another option would have been to place your account on the minimum plan possible & continue to pay the service and not have a phone util your contract runs out. Your agreement with any provider is to provide you with access to their network. It is your responsibility to have the phone to access the network. The early termination fee in all verizon wireless contracts is 175$ per line. It has never been 400$ per line. It is either 150$ or 175$ per line depending on when your contract originated all new contracts are 175$ per line. The early termination fee w/ Cingular is 175 as well & up to 240$ in certain states.
