That's one of the many reasons I dropped Verizon. I gave up my comedy career, so I don't need any more material. Asking Verizon for help? That's like asking a fish for its lungs. They don't have help. They don't have knowledge. They barely have something that could vaguely be called intelligence. (I once ordered a wireless router. They sent me a wired-only router. They replaced it without any problem - with a wired-only router.)
Call them back (M-F, 9-5, and you might not get through today) and ask for the Retention department. See if they can help you.
