Thanks Guys & Gals.
Your always good for a laugh.
Anyone will be able to walk in the store and buy the phone 24 hrs after the July 11th deliveries on July 12th.
Without the Drama.
But,
Those that are trying to save their unlimited data by taking the subsidized package prior to June 28th may need to "activate" the ( a ) phone in the next 72 hrs before the New Data Package Era begins...
If it were me,
I would go and buy & activate the cheapest 4G phone in the store on the June 27th to guarantee I've locked in my *unlimited data & upgrade* then just return it for the S3 at a later point.
Of course you would need to use your Costeco Account to do this.
Verizon is slick.. June 28th until July 11th is *Excactly* 14 days = the return period.
