  I wanted to upgrade to make texting easier. I've been told that verizon has me blocked till 2 months before my contract expires. i wanted to buy a nice new phone at target but I was blocked is there a way to buy one on ebay and get it activated without the help of Verizon? would be glad to buy a phone thru them if it wasn't so expensive at retail price. Thank you
