MORE Everything plan from Verizon

If you are an early adopter and use Verizon they have the MORE Everything plan.  What that means is you can pick a smartphone and sign up for a month-to-month service plan.  Verizon takes the full retail cost of the phone and divides it into 24 monthy payments and adds it to  your bill.  As long as you have 50% of that smartphone paid off you can upgrade to a newer smartphone if you want.  If you want to read more about the MORE Everything plan here is a link to Verizon.
