She's elderly and not particularly techno-savvy, and the unethical Verizon salesperson totally took advantage of her age and lack of knowledge. He sold her a phone that she couldn't even get open after she left the store! Makes my blood boil! Needless to say I won't be buying anything from Verizon any time soon. Hopefully with the help of this web site I will be able to help her get out of that contract faster. Thanks!!

You can always get a cheap feature phone on fleabay, and sell the smartphone. There's no fee to swap devices on Verizon, and the smartphone could pay for a good chunk of the ETF (especially if it's not a low-end smartphone).

Each carrier has its own trial-period policy, and restocking fees can actually depend on where you buy a device.

This is a bit different, as this site handles when a contract is changed after you are locked into a contract. That period too varies from one carrier to another. Sprint I think gives you two weeks whereas Verizon gives you 30 days (I may be wrong on those numbers, my point was that it's different for each carrier, so if you want to port out, you should do it as soon as you become aware of a material change).
