Verizon nationwide plan LG enV3?

I think that is Verizon's way of getting everyone on their nationwide plan. There are certain phones that require the nationwide plan. Sounds like you did the early renewal thing after a year and eight months. However, if you are not completely satisfied with the Alias 2 give it back to Verizon. If you do that the next phone you choose has to be the one you keep. What I suggest you do is make the return the Alias 2, re-activate your old phone and take your time deciding on your next phone. You still have a few months left on your original contract with Verizon. I am sure that Verizon will have another phone or two to come out between now and then.
