On my way home from dinner I decided to stop by the Verizon store below my apartment to ask about an Amp’d Motorola Q in my possession. I just wanted to know if I could port an existing Verizon number to the Q. Amp’d does piggyback on Verizon’s network, so I figured I’d get a yes. The Q&A section of Amp’d’s site states that I can take my phone to another CDMA network without any fuss. This does not hold true. The customer rep told me that I wouldn’t be able to use my Q because it doesn’t have Verizon branding. WTF?! Way to charge your existing customers up the ass and spurn those new customers you could potentially be making money off of. Put another notch on the bed post. Can you hear me now, morons?
