Tips & Warnings
Service providers often have Internet-only sales and special rates, so visit Verizon's website first to determine the best price for the services to which you wish to subscribe.
Have a first and second choice in mind for the date and time of your new service installation.
If it is your home telephone service you are changing, you will be issued a new telephone number when you switch providers. Be sure to update friends, family and any other services and accounts you hold that require you to provide a current phone number.
Because you are ending one contract and beginning another, you may experience an interruption in service if your Comcast deactivation takes place on an earlier date than your Verizon installation.
You may be required to pay an installation fee for new service. Failure to pay the fee could result in a delay of service.
