I just took back my LG optimus b/c verizon forces me into ONE plan

Question

Verizon I hope you're listening because you just lost a paying customer who had already bought one of your phones and was all set to give you more money.  I wanted to get another prepaid phone for a relative (I currently have a basic verizon phone that we barely use), and I didn't realize until I got the LG optimus home from the store today that you "let" people "choose" ONE stinking plan (some "choice").  THAT is the so called "choice."  One plan.  One option.  Verizon = North Korea when it comes to the LG optimus phone. 
I called to activate the phone and got told by the automated setup robot quote "you qualify for the 'allset' plan" and it gave me NO OTHER OPTIONS.  I never wanted the stupid "allset" plan because it's WAY too much money per month.  I wanted the same plan as is on my other prepaid verizon phone, which is the 99 cent daily usage fee then I add a $15 fill up card once a month or so.  We're like about half the population because we don't yack endlessly on stupid cell phones, we just wanted our basic one for emergencies, and another one so we could communicate, but if verizon can't drain your bank account every month, they don't want you as a customer.
Since there is ZERO CHOICE allowed on the communist verizon lg optimus phone, I took it back to the store and got 100% of my money back.  You lost a paying customer AND you now have to process a returned phone.  See verizon, this is what you get when you treat customers like garbage and allow no choice whatsoever.  People walk away and keep their money when they're given no choices.
Believe it or not verizon, we're not all made of money.  Furthermore, not all of us want to talk endlessly on a stupid phone.  MANY of us only want a decent phone for emergencies or near emergencies, and to take pictures, and don't use very much cell service in a month.  QUIT PUSHING EVERYONE INTO THE SAME EXPENSIVE BOX OF OVERUSE OF CELL PHONES, because many of us just won't stand for it.  Verizon, you need to recognize that there is more than one type of cell phone user out there.  Some people are constantly on their phones and apparently have endless money, but the majority of the population isn't like that.
Telling me I "qualify" for your ONE measly "choice", the "allset" plan, is an insult to me the consumer and all potential customers.  Don't give me one "choice" and then tell me I "qualify" for your one measly "choice" which isn't a choice at all because there's no other option.  Verizon didn't give the courtesy of telling me clearly UP FRONT that there was only one "choice" allowed for that phone.

Answer 1

No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks.
