I've got a bricked Verizon Droid (still powers on, can get into bootloader, flashed the latest (official) ROM, flashes fine, but upon normal boot always freezes on the "DROID" logo --- phone has never been root'd, water indicator is white) and would like to replace it.
I know with Sprint, all I have to do is walk in with an account, tell them "I bought this phone for use on your service, it's bricked, I want a replacement" and they charge me $45 and order me a replacement.
Does this work with Verizon and if so, whats the cost? I personally have no interest in switching (middle of Sprint contract, got unlimited sprint LTE @ ~20mbps, $50/month) but if I can get a $15 prepaid account (or even a 1-month $50-$75 account) and them replace the phone for almost nothing, it might be worth it.
Tl;Dr version:
How much does Verizon charge to replace a brick'd phone and what tier plan does it require?
