Glad to hear you got it worked out and a new one on the way! We have an amazing Verizon store here where I live. They have a rep that stands at the front door with a tablet in hand ready to greet you and put you on the list to be helped next. The majority of the reps there are pretty knowledgable and very friendly, doing whatever they can to help you. I rarely purchase my phones or accessories in store since I get what I want cheaper through Verizons website, Amazon, etc (at least I have in the past) but I do go in often to see & test drive the latest and greatest hardware or if I have a question regarding my bill. Very impressed with this store compared to others I've visited in other cities over the years.
