Are you kidding! Of course people will abuse it. Most people have no thought of anyone else or how their self serving actions will have a negative impact on others. It is a really good thing to have these options available but people abusing them will get them killed off and then people will be screaming about how badly Verizon is treating its customers, when in fact, it is some of the customers who are abusing a good policy that gets it killed off.
This rant doesn't apply to everyone but its amazing to me how much I see in these forums, and other phone forums, of people talking about ways to get around policies, lie to VZW or Assurion to get new phones and generally trying to get stuff for free that they have no right to.
Putting on fire proof suit so fire away!
