Verizon Lags

For John, BLUF:  Verizon is not the forward leaning 21st Century operation I had expected.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

I have a cell phone plan with Verizon.  It includes my Wife, myself and two of our children, plus two iPads.

I wanted to upgrade one of the Apple iPhones, which is currently in Illinoi.  I thought I could waltz into the Verizon Store in Tewksbury, arrange a deal and have the iPhone holder go into a store out in Belleville, Illinois, and be off with a new phone.

Not so fast.

This is not the 21st Century I had envisioned.  No, at the Verizon Store it is still 1999.  They are not able to cut such a deal.♠  I could shut down the Cell Plan from here, but I couldn't purchase a new phone.

I think it is time for the Verizon CEO to call for an upgrade to his opersting methods.  It might even make him more money.

♠  On the other hand, the previoous week I was able to go to the Tewksbury Verizon store and activate the cell capability on an iPad out in Belleville.
