The following day I went in person to the verizon store and asked to do ETF. I mentioned "I get service fee credit because its within the 3 day period?" They said "yep!" So a month later I'm wondering why I haven't paid the ETF yet. I go into Verizon and tell them I'm not trying to get screwed some way and I think I need to pay the ETF so they look up my account and they say it's already been credited and I dont have to pay anything extra.. I'm thinking "uh.. ok" so I say to the rep "Yea Yea, I talked to a rep about that and just wanted to make sure it was taken care of" , The VRep says "Everything looks good here! You were credited for everything." So it's a wonderful day. I bought the 5s outright for $110 and kept my unlimited
