2yr. cell phone contracts?

Okay, so I've had my cell phone for 6 months? but I signed up for a 2yr. contract with Verizon. The thing is, this phone really sucks. Plus it has a lot of dropped calls and it doesn't show when I have missed calls. I want to get a new phone, will they let? And will I have to change my number if I get a new phone?

well at this point on your contract if u dont like the service u can end the service but u will pay HIGH early termination fees. but u can purchase a phone any time u want, but the trick is that u will have to pay full regular price or it, if it is not time for an upgrade, at with the carriers u are not elgible for an upgrade till at least 22 months but u will be able to keep the same number they will just transfer it to the new phone.. and since they dont have sim cards a customer care rep or a store consultant will have to assit in the change They actually give you 30 days to try the phone . after that you are kinda stuck. You could buy a used phone on ebay or craigslist... and yes you can keep your number. First, no you will not have to get a new phone number.

Second, it sounds like there are a couple of problems with your phone. Try this: punch up *228,send. Select option 1 to reprogram your phone. Once completed, your phone should reboot by itself. Try making a few calls - see if it helps. This is the update service for VZW - they send down a manual update to the tower databse, and send you the latest phone profile for your phone.
