I was initially with Verizon for 4 years. When my contract ended I went with ATT... I was with ATT, hated it. Totally false advertising. "Never a dropped call." Yea, well... mmm hmm.... Finally, I left and went to Sprint / Nextel. Was 11 days late on the bill. The 12th day, received collection company calls and a certified letter from a collection agency that took the debt. While the phone still worked I might add.

I settled with the collection agency.

I have been with Verizon now since June, I got the Iphone 4S. I am since happy.

Doesn't surprise me.
