Yea it sucks. I've been with Verizon for over twelve years and it was great for the first few years but things have gotten out of hand over the last two years.

The new thing they hit me with yesterday was sending me a text message saying I was going over my minutes and going to incur penalties. Meanwhile I call hardly anyone and use maybe 200 minutes a month out of 450.

Sounds like they suckered you back in. They gave you one of the crappy Motorolas for free because they had leftovers. These phones suck! It turns off by itself, constantly freezes, pauses when trying to text so maybe ten percent of the letters actually come out right and I literally have to retype a single message four or five times to make it right, it on occasion decides it needs to randomly start playing music, it randomly decides to erase text messages from my inbox and outbox, among other things. Oh, and the paint literally wipes off, and the coating came off in like a month.
