Also, a question. So the account is based in Ohio, but I live across the country from my parents in Cali. Cheaper to stay on the family plan with grandfathered unlimited data. Regardless, my dad is going to stop in at a store tomorrow when he's out of work, renew their contract, and upgrade my line to a GN. I'm guessing they won't let him walk out of the store with an unactivated phone. I can't have this, though, because then I'll be phoneless for at least the weekend. They could ship to my work/apartment, but I don't know if they'll leave it at my apartment when I'm not there (signature required?), and my work has already lost some of my mail. My hope is that he can put the money down for the phone and have a Verizon store local to me put a phone aside. Does anybody know if Verizon could/would do such a thing?
