I went back this morning to buy a new phone and get everything taken care of. Turns out that when they rang up the phone the computer automatically gave me the discount so I didn't pay the $150. They said it has been doing that and they can't over ride it...so I'm happy again. The great cell phone debate is over. I went back this morning to buy a new phone and get everything taken care of.
