Terrible title, but I couldn't fit it all in there.
I'm curious...if I buy a phone (I'm looking at getting a smartphone). If I buy one from say, Best Buy for example, do I just take it to Verizon to tell them to hook it up to my plan?
I've heard of people doing this, but I also heard of the phone companies charging an arm and a leg to activate a phone not purchased from one of their stores.
So what I'm wondering, where are the cost savings, if any? Is it cheaper to just buy a phone from Verizon?
