just go in, take the papers with you say your comming in for your mum and that the phone is faulty .
is it motrola or erricson..

cause they make alot of dodgy phones these days, imo anyway.

**l2elapse** · 08-24-2006, 01:38 AM

whats the name of the phone?

**cmax** · 08-24-2006, 01:43 AM

They gave me a bad phone too. I guess it was a return because there were like 20 names and phone numbers already programmed into the phone.

I went to return the phone to verizon and they insisted it was a brand new phone.

I told them no way.

These phones don't come pre-programmed with your family and friends names and numbers already in them (names like Mom, Dad, Mary, Joe, etc). It would be nice, but I don't see how that's possible. I also said that I could call the number marked "Home" and probably talk to the previous owner of the phone.

They apologized and gave me a new phone immediately.

wtf it had numbers in them already.
**** that, thats just ridiculus man, i would have threw it back in their face.

I guess its the LG chocolate one..

**WEBB** · 08-24-2006, 07:39 AM

i got a loner phone once and the guy that had it before me was into some freaky stuff...he didnt delete his text's before he handed it back, and that dude has problems....alsways always reset your phone before you give it to a dealer to look at...

**gixxerboy1** · 08-24-2006, 08:44 AM

That's the thing with Verizon. They have all the cool new shit first, but being the first means dealing with all the glitches associated with the new technology...

I was actually going to get the chocolate verizon. I used to have verizon and then switched to cingular, and that was the worst move ever....cingular sucks big balls. I just recently went back to verizon and i'm happy now, personally i think verizon is the best.
