Verizon Set to Alter their Upgrade Policy
- Thread starter dgstorm
- Start date
?!I don't think you're reading it right. I believe what it is saying is that at twenty months forward out of twenty-four you can get the early upgrade. Just not from months thirteen until twenty anymore. They are extending the period. If you have a twenty four month contract, you should be due for a reduced price early upgrade at thirteen months until this change carries through. So basically, you should be eligible now if you are at twenty months.
NE2 is a program that every 24 months shoudl you not have upgraded that line you can get an additional amount off of the cost of your next phone.
So every 2 years my main line is not upgraded I get an additional $100 off on my next phone on top of their promotional offers. So when the Droid X was 199 with new 2 year contract I could get it for 99 instead....
You would be elegible in Feb though if you call them this month they will most likely let you upgrade this month AND if you do so before this new plan takes effect you will get one more upgrade slightly early as well...
Now something that no one here that I have seen or on Android Central have said is how this is worded. Look at it again.. "Begining Jan 16th customers will be eliginble for promotional pricing as well as special offers that we make available." Then it goes to say that the other two programs are being retired. So.. seeing as I am one of those that was looking for the the INC HD back in November I tend to speculate.. Does this mean that they WILL offer something else?? Only time will tell.. Just wanted to throw that out there.. Anyone else reading that like I am or am I just feeding the rumor mills of the good ol forum?

It's really hard to say. They've gotten good at rather "vague" wording.

How much more does a yearly contact cost over the two year?

I've noticed that as well. Beggars can't be choosers. Most times I discount offers such as that as marketing rhetoric. The annual upgrade deal was a very solid, well defined program. Something is indeed lurking behind the scenes at VZW...
And why does that make me nervous? LOL
Most times I think it is $100.. which unless they have something else to offer this is the way I am going.. New devices are usually $199 with 2 year and $299 with one year, but you can always find them through amazon, wirefly, best buy, etc.. for almost nothing so the extra $100 would be no more then getting a 2 year contract with verizon but getting the one year price..

Its not bad at all. Kinda like this new plan actually. Mmaybe now I can enjoy my phone for a couple years instead of constantly looking to upgrade. I will save tons of money too! 
Thank you to those who replied.... and for this advice...we have tried to upgrade repeatedly,they will not budge on the date of 2/4. They ruined her good D1 with a bad OTA update,that bricked the phone...sent us a "refurb",and another..and another...etc.... this hasnt been good....I love the android platform,but am scared to death tp take any OTA update..I do not want to lose my phone and be forced to take a refurb Piece of crap...We learned our lesson,only 1 year contracts from now on...technology is changing too fast for a smartphone anyway...and will all the stuff they do,they just wont last 2 years in normal to heavy use without some repair or reconditioning...and I dont want one out of warranty...does anyone know if his affects the master acct on a family plan that gets an upgrade annually at the semi annual price?

Just one second here! Who do you think you are throwing in some common sense and positive view points in a thread designed to get everyone excited, angry, and upset.
This reminds me of all the negative posting everyone made when it came out that Verizon would have tiered data plans. People need to chill out and get the facts straight. So far all I see is speculation.
