Costco spiffy consumer thing. Not sure if it will cover a phone too, but it rocks on things like TV and computers.

If you buy a product at Costco using THIER AMEX card, they add a year to your warranty. http://www304.americanexpress.com/ge...o-TrueEarnings

I just went to costco to try to upgrade and keep my unlimited plan. I'm due for an upgrade and have no other phones on my plan.

I overheard her talking to the people before me though and she was saying she could try to grandfather the unlimited plan, but there's a pretty good chance Verizon will reverse it out within a week or 2.

When I spoke with her, she said it wouldn't work for me unless I had paid full price for the phone when I bought it, or some cases if you have multiple phones on the plan. I didn't understand it.

I'd say keep an eye on your plans just in case.

I jumped on the Sprint deal at Thanksgiving that offered the S3 at 49.00. They may do a competitive deal if you call. I've had pretty good luck with their phone staffers as opposed to the helter-skelter of stores. They're somewhat unlimited in their data charges. Plans are flat rate for so many minutes with data included with a flat 10 fee unless you have a dump phone.

Coming from another vendor may give you something to bargain with -- and you might reference the killer deal.

I've had Sprint for a long time around L.A. without issues, though I hear coverage in Seal Beach is yucky.

I've buddies who are phone nuts and have tried most of the main vendors before rotating back to Sprint. They're in LB and Garden Grove.

Another bud who went "all iPhone" has come back to Android via some pretty sweat deals on TMobile, but his call minutes are very low, he does have good data.
