First of all, I am not some spoiled brat. I get good grades and work very hard.Anyways, I've been in need of a new phone for the last 3 months. My parents have been back and fourth if they should switch carriers or not, and that went on for almost a year. But just two weeks ago they decided to stick with our current carrier. My parents did also find out that I could upgrade phones if I wanted. So I talked to them about this, and they told me to go see the free phones Verizon currently has listed. I saw that the Iphone 4 was listed free, with a 2 year agreement. Everyone in my family, except me and my Mother have used two year plans. I have just bought my phones on Ebay.com with my money. So I tell my parents, and now they're basically making up excuses as to why I shouldn't get it. Like one is, they don't want to feel locked in a binding contract because if they terminate it, they'll have to pay $350. So they told me to go look on ebay for a new iphone that was cheaper. I found one, that was a really good deal, and new. But they never acted on it, they just sat there and started at each other. I would honestly just pay the $500 or whatever for a new phone with Verizon, or heck, get my own plan, I really would. But the problem is, I don't have a dang job! I have been looking for one though, but no luck, I hope I can get one soon though. Oh yeah, my current phone is a Droid X. I've had it since summer of 2012. However, it doesn't call people, doesn't keep a charge and dies alot
