My fiance had Verizon for about 6 months, but in January we wanted to switch to voicestream to get the family plan for $59 or $69 (I can't remember) since I was on internship in Kansas City, MO and she was in school in Ames, IA and you get unlimited minutes b/t the two phones. The wireless store gladly let us switch. It also gave us 800 anytime minutes to be split b/t the two phones and unlimited nights and weekends. Well, now my internship is over and we're both back in Ames. I want to get rid of one of the phones and get the other one on a smaller plan.
The problem is that the lady at the wireless store said that we would have to get 2 plans since we have two phones and two contracts and we would have to choose voicestream plans. I asked her why we couldn't swich to another carrier like we did last time after only 6 months and she said that in Iowa, there is a law that you can only sign cell phone contracts for 4 months and verizon was the only company that honored that. The other companies get around it somehow even though I signed the contract in Iowa. Does anyone think I can get out of this contract? Yes, I know voicestream has expensive lawyers and I don't have any money. I also feel like the store misrepresented themselves because when I asked them initially if I could switch to a smaller plan again when I got back they said yes without any explanation. They never told me that I had to get two plans or that I had to stay with voicestream. Also, does anyone know of a law like the one I mentioned?
This is very frustrating. Sorry for the rant.
