I am a verizon customer witht the 5 dollar a month insurance. Ilost my phone so i called them and told them it was stolen, I paid a 50 dollar deductable and they sent me a new phone the next day. I was calling them up to activate it and I didn't remember my password, because of this I could not activate my phone and needed to figure out my password.

A few minutes later one of my roomates finds my phone in a box of red bull [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Any way, I'm not sure what my next play is. My old phone still works, my new phone is unactivated, and I'm out 50 bucks but I have a brand new phone worth a couple hundred bucks.

THeres a few options and there are pros in cons to any of them. Taking advantage of a big corporation is not against my morals, in fact I try and take advantage of these kind of oppurtunities when they present themselves, still tho I don't know what to do.

Looking for educated advice, which achieves one goal, WHAT IS BEST FOR ME FINANCIALLY?

thanks
