Verizon wireless discounting familiy plans for smartphone users

[manhatton]

I tried calling Verizon about this discount and they stated that there is a specific phone number on the email to call to get this offer and it could not be done thorugh the main group. Can comeone please send me the email or phone number to call?

The link is in post #16 page 2.

Oh well, it wasn't obvious (at least to me) when reading this thread that only people eligible for a 2-yr upgrade can take advantage of this. I have 2 smartphones (droidx and blackberry) and a regular phone and when I called they said I wasn't eligible for upgrading and therefore could not take advantage of these reduced prices...

I pay currently 30 a month. Can some one provide a link?

Just got off the phone with them on this plan, the way it works is if you do not currently have a smart phone on your primary line. You can upgrade to a smart phone and they give you the 29.99 data discount for the phone. So if you already have a smartphone like me on your primary it does you no good you are better ff going to the unlimited packed posted on the site now or staying where you are.

PLEASE do not swear to avoid the filter. This is a warning to all.

Correct info

The discount is as follows:

Any secondary line on a family share that either performs an ELIGIBLE upgrade from a non-smartphone to a smartphone, or adds a new line to the account that includes a smartphone purchase for use on the new line (the $29.99 data plan only, not the new $15 one), the $9.99 monthly fee for the voice minutes is dropped...both of the above require a two year agreement.

Over a 24 month period that equates to a savings of $240 for each line that participates in said promo.

So instead of that secondary line being $9.99 for the sharing of minutes + $29.99 for the unlimited data = $40/month, said line will now be just $29.99/monthly.

In case there has been any confusion, I hope this clears things up. TBV

^ Nice clarification there!^

In addition, it appears that this is not "stackable" with the Unlimited Talk and Text plus Data promotion from last week. Only one Promo per line says Customer Service.

How long is it running?

How long is it running?

Most promos last for 30 days, but being that this one is starting in the middle of the month (Nov 19th) & with Black Friday and the Xmas season starting, I would not be surprised to see it go through the end of the year.

Alright, this thread is a mess so let me make sure I have this straight.

If I do not have an upgrade available on my main line I am not eligible for this? If I already have a smartphone on my primary line I am not eligible for this?

I am so very confused. Has this promotion officially started yet or no?

Fail.

0/2 on this one too.

Dangit.
