Thinking of changing to Verizon with no contract

Hi,

I'm leaving Sprint. I have 4 family members on the plan and am considering Verizon with used phones so there will be no contract. I'm considering something like a Razr from ebay or wherever.

There are several questions.

Basically, we want phone and text service, although I would find an MP3 player occasionally useful. I understand Motorola has more features on their operating system than the one Verizon uses, but it is possible download the Motorola system. Is this true? Any experience with it.

I don't want to spend too much on the phones as I want the freedom to leave Verizon if they are as bad as Sprint.

Would appreciate any advice or thoughts.

Thanks,

Tom

 

I've talked with Verizon and they have said if I have used phones there is no contract.

So, I just spoke with Verizon. Month to month contract has a $35.00 activation fee for each phone. A longer term contract is $35.00 for the first phone and $25.00 each additional.

Frankly, I hated waiting for a 2 year contract to expire with Sprint, so am willing to try Sprint, I just want to make sure about what I'll be getting and if the phones will do what I want.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm watching ebay auctions right now.

Thanks for the advice.
