Verizon wireless recently started this. I remember a couple of weeks ago they used to do this for free.

Imagine how much money they are gonna make, over 90 percent of the public will pay this charge since it is annoying as hell to transfer the phone book manually.

I will be one of those people since I just upgraded my phone and I don't want to spend hours trying to transfer over 100 contacts from one phone to the other.

I think this kind of service should be free...what you all think about this?

Even for phones with SIM cards?

:gheylaugh:

I wouldn't pay it.... for 10 bucks, I'll do it myself thank you very much.

badboy

I'd rather pay $5 for the cable on ebay and do it myself

:ibmovedtomobilephonethread:

i have never charged anyone the 10 bucks to transfer the phonebook

Berner

the device to do it is mad expensive so we got to make the $ back someway

Berner

it is free if your getting a phone. we will charge your ass if you bring in a phone from ebay and have us do it

Verizon tried to do this with my wife some time ago when she upgraded her phone. She ripped the store manager a new asshole and got him to do it gratis.

You don't ever want to fuck with a pregnant woman.

plus if you are keeping your old phone, copy the numbers from the card to the phone, so if you ever lose or destroy new phone, you can get a new sim and put it in the old phone and copy the numbers back to it.

depends

they can kiss my ass; if I am buying a phone from ebay; I might as well spend a couple of extra bucks for USB cables and transfer them myself/

metaphorically, not literally.

Ya last time I had a Verizon customer try to change his phone, I called customer service for him and they are charging $15, and I hear if you go do it in person they do it for free if the rep is cool, thats just a load of crap.

I remember I did a sprint phone ESN Change for free, so who knows

mikeymobiles

Not for verizon...cause that is straight up BUll......

I called in last december to change my Cousins Verizon Service from one phone to another phone, they said there is a $15 ESN Change fee, which got added onto there bill, but My cousin's husband called in and had that fee removed and went to a local verizon store and got it done free, because he has had it locally done free.

and I did a ESN Change for a Sprint customer, as I am a Sprint dealer and they had no fee added, but its sometimes depends on the rep, sometimes they just do it, sometimes they charge, But I have never tried to see if there is a ESN Change feature on the Sprint FAST System (Activating System).

mikeymobiles

I've never heard of this..and customers can also change their own esn's right on the verizon wireless website when you login....

Raheel

I never checked the site to do it, I know sprint's site u can too, but maybe things changed, this was almost 5+ months back, but ya the guy on the phone charged her a fee, who knows why. But I know sprint used too also and just recently stopped, I got a news bulletin saying no more ESN Change Charges, so people can upgrade more often

dallison

we don't charge but i hope we do start, i don't like doing it unless i know the person. it would be a great revenue generater for us to charge
