    Well, a girl I work with is on the same boat as you. She called a Verizon store yesterday and was told that they would do it for her even though she still has almost a year left on her contract. So I guess you never know.

    Maybe the shitty carriers. See below...

    And my daughter did it with AT&T two months ago. She still had 6 months left.

    For our Verizon business account, we can upgrade 4 months early. Not sure about residential, since I haven't had to deal with them for years.

    I don't think the Verizon one is true. You can try, but I don't think you can do that anymore. Back in the day, they'd upgrade you anytime, and tack 2 more years to your existing contract time. But they quit doing that.

    I can't stand waiting on UPS to deliver.

    WebFire;1504206 wrote:Sure, but you still have to pay for your current plan. So you be paying for 2 lines, and you'd have a new phone number.

    You can add a line, buy the phone, switch the new line to a shitty dumb phone for the cheap(like $9.99), and put the new phone onto your other line.

    Generally, people do that to maintain their unlimited data.

    This would work and be the cheapest route.

    Shitty carriers like Verizon and AT&T? OK.

    They both nixed it in the past few months.
  • TedSheckler
    So you're saying my daughter didn't get the full upgrade price even though she was 4 months short of her contract ending? Ok then.

    I think it only applies after a certain date. She'll have to wait 24 months before she can do it again.

    Interesting. Did not know this. Thank you very much for this helpful information!

    Glory - not sure if you saw my earlier post or not, but Verizon is apparently offering 6 GB a month for $30/mo (which is what we're currently paying for "unlimited"). I know... I'm not crazy about the "giving up the 'unlimited' when I'm already paying $30" too, but it sounds like that might be the only option/way to go?

    This. "Air Drop" is only good for the 5, 5c, and 5s.

    Likely no. If your "upgrade" isn't until 8 more months, then you likely will not receive the promotion price of $199, until then.

    I tried to upgrade today via interweebs, but they tack on this BS $36 1 time upgrade fee. GTFO

    They tries that shit with me last time and told them to take it off or I walk to a competitor. Can't do that online, sao I guess I'll have to wait for the second wave to hit stores.

    It's going to be harder and harder to wave the fee.

    Just received my 5c. Setting it up. Color choices are gay as hell. Went with blue. Would have done white, but not with black face.

    It's only for 5c/5s users. Affects fingerprint sensor or something.

    That would explain it.
