Verizon Early Renewal for Droid

[BeefyBeefo]

I was under the impression that if you are close to the 2 year mark of having your phone..or even 3-4 months prior they let you upgrade for the ADVERTISED price. When the price of someone signing up for a new account is $199 then you will pay 199.

Yes, as I noted in my previous post, it's 4 months prior to the 2-year date. There is supposed to be a $20 "early" upgrade fee, but this is most often waived, or maybe only charged to certain plans, etc.

On my line Verizon said that I could upgrade on November 20th (doesn't matter because I upgraded using another line) at the price of 299...the 1 year price (Due to me just last year using my line to purchase someone a gift with the 2 year/new line price.) If you go to Verizon's store online all the details are there.

I don't understand how people got Droid's for $99.

The 2-year contract price is $199. Those that are due for the their NE2 receive another $100 discount. Hence, a Droid for $99...:motdroidvert:

Never received a 100 dollars off any phone I have purchased.

Isn't it just 50? I have never received an extra 100 dollars off a phone before.

My girlfriend is the main line on our family plan. Her NE2 discount is an extra $100 off of the 2-year contract price...

The only advantage of upgrading online is the instant rebate, however, you are still payng sales tax on the full retail price of the phone.

Free Overnight shipping is great if you place the order before 4:30p.m. on Thursday. Verizon does not offer Saturday or Sunday deliveries.

So if you can front the $100, which generally only takes 2-3 weeks to get back from rebate, it may be better to purchase in-store. You'll have your new Droid instantly.

That's exactly what I did last week. Initally I went to bestbuy to try and get the 149$ deal, but I was told it was only for new and NE2 contracts.

My brother and I just order our Droid with the New ever 2 year program before our time was up for $299 - $100 mail in rebate -$50 NE2 = $149. He did his order at a local Verizon store and I did it through the phone with our company rep. Both places didnt give us any hassel. The rep told us if we had a larger plan than our current Basic plan we would have been qualified for $100 off with the NE2
