Legal Question
I purchased a cell phone from Verizon. On that day, November 7, I was quoted a price, charged that price on my credit card, and reassured my current monthly charges would remain the same. When it arrived and I tried to activate the phone, I was told I could not because effective November 8 (1 day after my purchase) this phone requires a $9.99/month minimum data package. I had transferred all my data and have been told there is no recourse other than purchasing the plan or sending back the phone. In the meantime, my contacts and messages have been deleted from the old phone. This seems illegal, at the very least a scam. Any ideas?
