Buying new phone a month or two after upgrade

I wanted to know if I bought a new phone such as the Droid X would I have to pay the retail price? I upgraded my phone a month or two ago to the LG Cosmos.
Thanks

If you purchased your Cosmos with a subsidized price by agreeing to a new contract, then yes if purchasing from Verzion you will have to pay full retail to get another phone.

  • Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan?

    Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan?  That seems counter-intelligent in a day where other carriers are begging for my business. I've been a customer for 10 years but am considering switching on principle.

    I'm sending my bill in exchange for a provided service. The activation fee is garbage, and IMO, if smaller carriers can live without it (because they are), Verizon doesn't need to charge it. Frankly, I'm tired of people settling because "The fee isn't going away." If you agree with it, so be it, but you're the minority.
    You are correct, just because other people do it, doesn't make it right. It also "doesn't make it wrong".
    Verizon has chosen a price they charge for providing a service. Part of that price is an "upgrade" fee if you choose to purchase a phone at a ~$400 discount. ALL this is doing is lowering the amount of discount on the phone. It is, however, the price Verizon has set to provide their service. You are paying it in exchange for that provided service. You may not agree with it, that is your choice and are free to go elsewhere. If you are in the position to pay this "upgrade" fee, you are NOT under contract and are free to change without penalty. Your choice. If you pay it, you have made your choice.
    Yes, other "smaller carriers" can live without it because they are forced to, not because they "want" to or because it is "right". They have to have some sort of incentive to attract customers. The bigger carriers do this by providing a larger footprint for their service. Smaller carriers cannot do so and have to resort to other methods. Lower price is one of those. There are trade-offs in life. Choose your trade-offs. I prefer to pay a slightly higher price for more reliable service. I have been with several providers in the past, Verizon provides me the most reliable service of those I have tried.

  • Can i use my Corp discount to buy a phone and pay the balance after discount thru Edge?

    Can i use my Corp discount to buy a phone and pay the balance after discount thru Edge?
    Are Corporate discounts usable against the full purchase price of the phone?
    How does Corporate discount work on More Everything Edge.

    Ok so another question are you going to pay full price up front for the phone, use Edge or do it on a subsidy? Also which model since they vary in price from $650-$950.
    Line fees on a More Everything plan are typically $40 per line.As I said being on Edge or being off contract would reduce that by $25 if you have a 10 GB data plan as you state you would. The 10 GB data portion is $100 but since your discount is 26% it will only cost $74.
    So to keep this simple until I get more info from you if you still had all 3 lines under contract, 3 smartphone lines and 10 GB with a 26% discount would be $194 a month before taxes and fees.
    Since you have 2 lines currently of contract, if you kept using your current phones or paid full price upfront for new phones you'd have 2 month2month discounts of $25 so that would drop your bill to $144 before taxes/fees
    If you bought the cheapest iPhone 6 on Edge your Edge payment would be $32.50 a month for 20 months. So for two iPhones 6es( assuming you got the cheapest one ) that would be $65. That would on top of the $144. So a total of $209

  • Buying new phone what size shoul i get

    buying new phone what size shoul i get

    It depends a lot on how you use the device.
    Emails and web pages are small with little impact. Music is more average sized files but people can have hundreds of them. Movies and videos are your largest files. I use the smallest size because you can always save info and content to the computer. Syncing allows you to move content from the computer to device whenever you'd like. I rotate 7 gb of music onto my ipod then put a different 7 gb every couple weeks. I never have to listen to a song twice. If you don't have a computer, travel a lot, or store a lot of large files, like films to watch, you would definitely need something larger to get by.

    You purchased a gray market phone. The iPhone is not available for sale from any Authorized source in Ukraine. There are no authorized or supported carriers in Ukraine.
    Take it ack and get your money back.
    If you want an iPhone, go to a country where unlocked iPhones are available for legitimate sale and purchase one directly from Apple.

  • Options after new phone stolen (had for two weeks), and refurb doesn't work?

    Back in November, I ran into some bad luck with Best Buy phone insurance, and wasn't due for an upgrade with Verizon until March.  Long story short, I went into a Verizon store on Black Friday weekend to see what my options were, and walked away with a brand new Droid Maxx for only $40.  It counted as my new upgrade, and I was thrilled.
    Not two weeks after purchasing the new phone, it was stolen from me.  I contacted the Asurion insurance company and shelled out $150 to have another phone overnighted to me.  Much to my surprise, they sent me a refurbished Maxx with a small crack in one corner - clearly a great deal older than my two week old stolen phone.  I decided to give the phone a chance, since I didn't have enough money for other options.
    Now, nearly three months later, this refurb is not working out at all.  The crack has grown, I can't do any hands free or voice activating calling/navigation, the speakers cut out periodically, and most of the time I can't hear out of them to the point where I have to use speaker phone, and then the people I'm speaking with can't hear me.  To top it off, the usually fantastic and long battery life I enjoyed on the original phone are NOT present on the refurb.  It lasts half as long, when it does bother at all to charge.
    I work for a hospital and need to be on call nearly every day, and the needless quirks on this phone are making it very difficult to do so.
    I am at my wits end, and would like to know what my options are.  I did not pay almost $200 to insurance to have a subpar refurb for the next two years, and I cannot afford to pay $150 to Asurion for another refurb.  If my money goes anywhere, I would like it to go to something that will last me the next two years. I realize that I am very lucky to even have a nice phone, but it is not meeting my needs and is risking my day job when the hospital can't get ahold of me readily.
    What are my options?  I am on  family plan.  Should I pull my number off the plan for my own?  Try to qualify for Verizon Edge?  Or take my number to another provider that will give me a new contract and a new phone?  Thank you for your help in advance!

    You should have arranged return of the damaged replacement to begin with right then.  Too late for that though. At this point, you can buy a used phone on Swappa.com or elsewhere that is compatible to Verizon or buy full retail.  I don't they will let you Early Edge right now being so close to having just upgraded.

  • Buying New Phone but Contract  can't yet what are my options???

    Okay I dropped my phone in some water and had to find a replacement it is a razor but being it was given to me there are issues with it... The phone changes settings on its own and I can't access VM called Verizon and they can't help with changing it and the one that is in the phone is unknown. Talke with Verizon and then Tech Support and they did nothing and said they have no way to know what it is did a master reset and so on.
    So here is my question being the contract the phone is under does not allow new phones till December and I can't extend the contract being it is a business phone what are my options? From what I learned buying just a phone from Verizon is a costly one, and if you buy one from an online source the two I got where prepay only and not able to be used on an existing contract.
    If I take my replacement used phone to a Verizon Store can they get the Pin number out of? I know they are there to sell you a new phone and want you to extend your contract . The cost of a "NEW" Phone is in the hundereds of dollars when you get it for next to nothing when you sign a contract.
    Is there any good place I can get a "New Phone and reactivate it as a replacement and know what the pins are being the one I have now though used Verizon can't not hop[ena dn since it turns off the ringer now and then I miss calls and get vms I can get.
    Any suggestions or just go and buy a new phone whatever the best cost is and be done with this???
    ANy information on what I can do seems that Verzion can only help so far via the phone and going to a store from what I have experienced and heard is requiring an contract extension and then you get a new phone for a better price. Which again I can not do.
    Just looking for some good information on wat the options are???
    MikeMich

    Thanks, Looks like I am stuck with the current phone even though no one at Verizon can assist me in getting the pin for the vm feature. As for ebay I contacted 2 sellers that stated their phones were good to be used on Contract the first one I got I called attempted to activate it and they told me it could only be used as a "PrePaid" Phone. I had to return it and the seller want me to end the transaction as if his listing was valid even though it stated could be used on a existing contract. Being he was also in Michigan I got it within a few days but then had to return it. Seems many list their phones like this but when you contact them and ask they kind of side step it and the auction ends. This seller had good feedback maybe because some don't leave any because of the same issue. I looked at whast the phones are listed at an 300 + unless you sign an additional  2 years which I can't do being it is a company phone and paying twice is also not worth it using it as a prepaid phone for 6 months...
    Looks like they got you anyway so I will just have to continue getting vms and no access and hope the phone lasts until they can get new ones...
    Sad fact is there should be a better way to get a replacement phone. Since I don't know any Verizon Dealers when I had another carrier the guy was great he would do anything including rebuild a doa phone with parts he collected as people upgrade but at Verizon they just want you to "upgrade" and "extend" the contract Which I am not the admin person to make that decision
    Guess you have to know someone and I don't...
    Such is life these days...At least for me....

  • How do i get all my photos from my old phones icloud back up either onto my computer or on my new phone , there saved as two separate back-ups ?

    okay so unfortunately I lost my iphone 4 battery died and everything so was no chance of finding it even with find my iphone , fortunately I backed up every photo to my icloud I know there all there because I accidentally corrupted my phone during an update and restored from the cloud and it brought back all the photos (this was before I lost it) now with my old phone I never had photo stream or synced my phone to my computer so the pictures are just on the icloud . and I know they are there , but since I got my new phone my icloud management shows two backups , my current phone , and my old phone , so all the old pictures are still there , is there anyway of getting these pictures from the icloud either onto my laptop or on my new phone ? thanks

  • Buying New Phone At Apple Store

    I am going to be upgrading my iPhone 3 to the 4S.  If I go and buy my phone at the Apple Store, will they be able to get me all set up and up and running or will I still have to bring it to AT&T?  I am thinking I'll get more information on the phone and features at the Apple Store so that's why I am leaning towards going there to buy it over the AT&T Store.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

    Go to the Apple store, they will handle everything. You can transfer your info yourself, after they activate your phone. Just follow the directions here:

  • New phone, text messages disappeare​d after less than a day's use

    On my son's brand new phone, a Sprint Curve 8330, which he picked up this afternoon, he's been getting texts all day from friends, then at about 12:30AM he realized that all the previous day's texts are gone.  Only texts I sent him after midnight are there.  Why?  This is a fresh new device.  He installed Sprint TV and Sprint Music, and I installed Slacker and Viigo, but haven't even activated them (didn't have his email address to register the apps.)  I can't see this being memory-related, having under 10 hours use on the device, with almost no app usage.
    I thought that maybe I just didn't understand how it works, that it was "filing them away" into a folder for a previous day or something, but searching around did not find any texts from yesterday (just a few hours ago.)
    Any help appreciated.

    I've done this reset multiple times. And have succesfully done.
    You said that you installed some app and after that this thing happened right? Did you install in mass memory or memory card? If on memory card then try removing your memory card and see if it helps.
    If you have installed in mass memory then sometimes it can be problem. Assuming your phone is switched off right now! Just connect your mobile to PC/lappy. Wait for couple of minutes, your PC would recognise it as a storage device. If it recognises then copy all the important data you want to keep and format the memory card and mass memory. (I'd this problem when installed something like theme/app from untrusted developer.) 
    This method worked for me. If not then try again the hard reset
    Hold down the following three buttons Volume Down + Camera + Menu button at the same time. (It will Hard reset your Phone, and may takes several minutes to restart your Phone)
    While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone. And remember press all these buttons carefully as you might not fully press all the buttons!
    Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    As you might be aware of the data loss while attemping this method be sure you will lose everything.
    If nothing else works then you might unfortunately visit a local nokia care.

  • Plannig to buy new phone

    I am planning to buy a new phone cost lessthan 15,000 Indian rupees, which one is best, I need mail for exchane,  good camera, gps
    Thanks in advance

    Looks like the only phone guarantied to work is the iPhone, which unfortunately is locked into AT&T.
    I say this based on my regular observation of post's in the iSync forum for various phones & PDA's . I have 2 very popular Motorola phones , RAZR & KRZR that worked flawlessly in Tiger with iSync but won't do squat in Leopard . Now i'm stuck between Apple & Motorola pointing fingers .

  • Syncing When I Buy New Phone

    I have always synced my contacts from Outlook using iTunes onto my iPhone 4s, but I have also added many contacts directly on my iPhone 4s. So I have a combination of Outlook contacts and other contacts I've added manually to the phone. When I get a new iPhone 5s, how do I get the contacts that I have added on my 4s onto the new 5s, but also keep syning my Outlook contacts? Are the contacts I added manually on my iPhone 4s stored on iTunes? Not sure how this works.
    Another question: when I get a new phone, will music data be retained in iTunes (number of plays, date last played, etc.) and be synced onto the new phone or will everything be reset to zero? I want to keep that data if possible.
    Thanks!

    As long as you backup your old device and restore the new device from the backup, everything should stay the same.

  • Hey guys apple need to sort this issue people are buying new phones here and the sound not playing from there phones like alot of people are having the same problem apple are ignoring it. I went to an apple shop for them to want 150 pounds of me

    Hey guys apple need to sort this volume problem out soon like there is guys who have just bought new phones and it is happening to there's.i went to an apple shop for them to tell me I had to pay £150 to get it replaced I don't want a replacement so clearly they know what the problem is apple need to review this site and act fast before they loose alot of customers.

    If you just purchased your iPhone, it will still be under warranty and Apple will replace it at no charge assuming that there hasn't been any damage due to abuse. So anyone with a new iPhone will be taken care of. If your iPhone is out of warranty and it has a hardware problem, then you have to pay the replacement charge regardless of what the problem is. Apple does not repair individual iPhones, they replace them. If you want the iPhone repared rather than replaced, you'll need to send the iPhone to an independent repair shop.
    Since you don't say what "volume problem" you're referring to, though, we can't say whether or not this is indeed a hardware problem. Perhaps if you'll detail the problem and what steps you've taken to try and correct it, someone can offer advice.
    Regards.

  • My iphone 5 has been accidentally put in washing machine iv dried it out but the screen has water behind the glass i don't know what to do replace the screen or buy new phone help

    my iphone 5 has been put in washing machine by accident and i have dried it out it works but there is water behind screen pleasehelp dont know what to do i can repair would it be best to buy new screen
    HELP!!!!

    It is likely that the device has unrepairable harm done to it having it washed in the washing machine. However, one thing that could be tried would be to have the device placed in a glad bag full of un-cooked rice and leave it there for 72 hours to see if this will absorb residual moisture showing up on the display glass. It could be assumed that if there is that much moisture showing it's unlikely attempting to draw out moisture will be sucessful.
    Good luck.
