days but just recently, verizon dropped it down to 14 within their right as a member of this association. so when you get a phone, make sure and ask how long do i have to return this if it doesn't work for meechl the reason we have this is people would get a phone, show up at their home or work place and find out that that service did not work there. so you still need to grab the phone, run around, see writ works and doesn't. and there is pat a asks where can a person get childrens car seats installed? it's easy to do it incorrectly f you call up your local chp office make an appointment they'll check the chair and make sure it's okay. many local police departments do this and some toy stores and childrens' stores also have this so just call chp is
