I remember when I worked for FedEx I used to have this guy who would come in every few months and would ship a phone back to Verizon. He told me that he travels around the world for his job and those phones he was sending back worked over seas. His company just paid for the usage. I was wondering if Henry had looked into that or was that discussed? Now this was 5 years ago.
