"HEY! we'll buy your old, stupid outdated 'dumbphone' for $100 off a smartphone so you won't feel like an obsolete loser AND we can make more money off of you through data plans and such! WE BOTH WIN!"
If you want to donate your drawer full of phones, Verizon fixes them and donates them to women who are in high risk situations for emergencies. It is a great cause.
We are so excited about this limited time promotion (ending 9/30/11) The condition of the basic phone (working, damaged or not working) (or 3G multimedia phone) will not impact the value of the $100 Basic to Smartphone Trade-In Promotion gift card.
So yes, you can turn in damaged phones!
