Thinking about switching to Verizon

[Ramenstien]

I have thought about switching to Verizon. I am going to be going to college in a couple of months and right now I have AT&T. I have heard that it is hard for someone who is only 18 to get a Verizon account. Exactly how hard is it? I would really like to switch but I just don't know about how to go about doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have never heard of someone having trouble switching based on their age. Normally they make you put down a security deposit which will be credited to to your account when you reach a certain period of time.

They might ask for a deposit if u dont have any credit or bad credit history.

Oh I see. Alright then. About how much do you think the security deposit will be? When it is credited to your account what is it used for?

I would call them and ask.

I'm switching from sprint to vzw and I just got off the phone with a rep who told me that its $125 normally but if you've had ANYTHING that's gone to collections or have no credit its $400. She told me that because I have a divorce on my credit that its $400 per line. I was like wtf! I pay my bills on time. But my ex files for divorce and I have to pay that much to have service with you? Crazy!

Sounds like you got a bad rep.

Best bet op is to call or go to a VZW store in person.

You know I can't just go to a vzw store. I have told you that its over 3 hours away.

But I was referring to you in the first part
