Check this --- during a conversation with one of the Verizon "customer service representatives" I was informed that a product they were billing me for, "V-cast", was obsolete and not even being sold anymore (at $15 a month!). That did NOT preclude them from billing me each month. And they would have CONTINUED billing me had I not questioned it. Integrity has disappeared in American business. And they don't even care what you think about it. Refund my money? No chance....thanks for looking out for your customers, you criminallly inclined behemoth.
