Bills while in boot camp

[kbs95125]

I was wondering if any of the recently graduated Marines had suspended their bills before heading off to boot camp?

My recruiter told me I could have my cell phone bill (Verizon) put on hold while I am in boot camp so that I don't have to start a new plan after graduation. I called Verizon and they said I could do that, but I am wondering if its really worth it or if I should just cancel the service all together. My other option, which I would rather do, is to "prepay" my bill for while I am gone, but that all depends on if I have enough money saved before I leave.

Just wondering if any Marines did something similar when they left. Or maybe any things I should remember to take care of that other may have forgotten before they left.

Thanks for the response.

Damn it, I hate ATT. Haha


I'm going to be stationed in San Bruno as a Reservist, so I know Verizon will work if I decide to keep the service.

Verizon wouldn't let me suspend my cell phone bill, however you are allowed to send money home while you are at boot camp starting from the second of third week.
