Looks like I wont be getting a storm =(
- Well I went down to the local verizon store last night and I went to buy a storm for me and two other phones for my daughters for xmass. So I went down there and they had all the phone its stock and he rang them up and its was like $1600! he said I didnt have any free upgrades and my next one would be in a year. So I would have to pay like 500 for the storm and a crazy amount for the other phones. Why does verizon do thi> I have been with them for like 5 Years and they screw me over like that? cmon verizon!12-22-08 11:02 AMLike 0
- While I personally think 2 years (actually 20 months on Verizon) is a long time to go between phone upgrades, you did signed a contract with them which indicates you get an upgrade every 2 years. How did they "screw" you?12-22-08 11:06 AMLike 0

- Not everyone qualifies for the early upgrade, you must have a minimum 12 mths on a 2yr contract completed and also be a primary line for billing... meaning if your a single line, you must pay $59.99+ for your voice plan, and/or be the primary on a family share plan. But you must complete at least 12 mths of the current contract to do it early.12-22-08 11:13 AMLike 0
- Since when do most people go by what the contract says? Alot of you are being as*'s. Cut the guy some slack he is buying some presents for his family.
I would personally just call customer service and see if they can help you. Alot of times they can upgrade you at a discount price even if your not within NE2 time. Let them know your a long time customer and you are upgrading alot of phones. Im sure they can work something out. Ive seen it done MANY times despite what alot of these crackberry folks say. If you get a CS rep who does not want to help just hang up and try again, persistence is the key to a good rate!12-22-08 11:36 AMLike 0 - Well I went down to the local verizon store last night and I went to buy a storm for me and two other phones for my daughters for xmass.

- Really people? I think he got the whole New every 2 concept after the first post. No reason to have another 10 posts beat the same point in. If you don't have anything else to add to the topic please refrain from posting.
To the OP. Try giving Verizon tellasales a buzz. They sometimes have power to do things that others don't. I upgraded a month early to my NE2. Also one of my co workers upgraded early with discounts and was not due for NE2 until 2/2010.12-22-08 11:46 AMLike 0 - Really people?

Its done by all carriers you just have to ask, it really isnt that hard.
So your saying not one person on a Verizon contract has ever been upgraded early and given a discount early?
Yes I understand its a contract though what I meant is rules can be bent and they are from time to time in a situation like this. He has been a customer for 5 years as he says.12-22-08 11:50 AMLike 0 - DAMN yall cold!!! Gotta go by what you signed and gotta read it. Don't listen to a store salesman they don't know jack. One tried to switch some info to my current Berry took me two days and five BB techs to get right! Shouldve called CS first.12-22-08 11:51 AMLike 0
