My cousin and her bf recently got new phones from Verizon.

They had looked online and saw that every phone was a fancy does everything type and required a media package. However when they went to the Verizon store they were able to get a regular flip phone for her without a media package, although her bf opted for the does-everything-sign-me-up-for-media phone/package.

You might try checking with the Verizon store in your area as apparently what's online isn't all they have. None of my last 3 phone packages were listed online and I got them all at the Verizon store.
