Hey! It Was Free!

Well, it was that time of year again. No, not the holidays, but time to renew my wireless plan with Verizon. As I walked into the Verizon Wireless store yesterday I comtemplated whether to continue on with my two year agreement or switch to a one year. Well, in the walk from my car into the store I must have subconsciously made up my mind. What is it about walking into any electronics store that just makes my mind go beserk?

The really nice salesman at the door smiled and greeted me. He had to have seen the twinkle in my eye as my brain took in the smell of new phones. I couldn't sign in fast enough at the kiosk without clammering and mispelling my name in an effort to get to the phones. Then the salesman came over and ushered me back over to the sales desk to work out my plan. Little did he know I'd already worked it out. I'd chosen the green LG enV which to my chigrin turned out to be free! That's right, absolutely free! While I love those little gadgets I'm not particularly in love with dishing out the dough for them. I've had my plan with Verizon for years and every two years I get a $100 credit towards a new phone, provided I renew my two year contract with them, which I did. There's always a catch. That credit coupled with a $50 rebate Verizon was also offering made my $149 phone free. I could'nt have been happier. It will absolutely serve its purpose and yesterday "life was good".
