Early Upgrade to 1 year contract

Hi!
I am currently 20 months into a 24 month contract.  According to Verizon Wireless I am eligible for an early upgrade, however when I go through the checkout process the only contract type I can select is a 2 year contract.
My question is, assuming I am willing to forgo the NE2 credit and also pay the 1 year contract price for the phone I want, would I be able to extend my contract for just 1 year instead of 2?
Thanks!

You may have to do this with customer service over the phone, rather than through the website - I think it's entirely doable, just not through the website! (The website doesn't seem to handle unique or out of the mainstream transactions, or multiple transactions, very well!)
My advice, call CS and explain what you want to do. Let us know how it goes....

  • Upgrade for 1 year contract

    My upgrade is coming up at the end of Feb and I want to buy a thunderbolt but only for a 1 year contract.  I know that I won't be able to buy the phone at the subsidized price but I want to know if I can apply my upgrade to the phone for a 1 year contract.  
    At the end of the 1 year contract I want to buy a new phone with a 2 year contract and get the subsidized price.  Will I be able to do that.
    Thanks!!

    I did this today, Annual upgrade date was today, still have 1 year left on 2 year contract. I Tried to get the local store to do the upgrade with a 1 year contract, They couldn't. Apparently Annual upgrades on 2 year contracts can only be upgraded with a new 2 year contract, at least by the retail store and online. I called Customer Service and said I wanted to use my upgrade and by a Droid X at the 1 year contract price. The CS rep had to get it approved by their supervisor to bypass the 2 year contract and sell the phone at the 1 year contract price. So, There are no guarantees you can upgrade at the one year price for any phone, but the only chance is to get CS to override the system for the 1 year contract. Good Luck.

  • Is anyone else unhappy when upgrading after 2 year contract?

    I have been a Verizon customer for 12 years now, always paying on time and in full.  I just upgraded for the 6th time, and am extremely disappointed with the loss of unlimited data AND a $30.00 upgrade fee that has nothing to do with the price of the phone or plan.  It would seem to me that Verizon would want to keep paying customers happy, especially ones with immaculate paying records.  While the person selling me the device (Matt from Hendersonville, TN Verizon store) was very nice and helpful, I couldn't help but feel "punished" financially for wanting to stay loyal to the company and upgrade my device.  Is it Verizon's policy to gouge every cent from it's most loyal customers?  It makes more business sense to keep an existing customer happy than getting new customers.  I've even thought about paying to get out of my current contract to switch.  Anyone else feel this way?  I understand that I'm paying for a service, but I'm already committing to paying $80+ a month for two more years, and they want another $30 upfront without letting me keep unlimited data????  That's a double whammy if I ever saw one....

    I've tried to explain this before but I'll make another attempt.
    The way a business works is they make the rules regarding how they want to do business.  Then the customer decides if they want to play by those rules.  Now if not enough customers want to play by the businesses rules, the business can change the rules.  Then again the customer decides if he wants to play by those rules.  If enough customers agree to play by those rules, then everyone, (well almost everyone because there will always be a few who complain no matter what) wins.  the customers and the business.  Later, the business can change the rules again and the process starts all over again.
    That why competition is good for the consumer.  Some company will always try to do something cheaper and faster.  This works as long as the companies involed can make a profit. (not a bad thing by the way)  Anyone ever try to get a job with a company that wan't making a profit?  Even if you could, would you want that job?
    Me, I'm just patiently waiting for the release of my next new phone in the summer of 2014.

  • Halfway through 3GS 2 year contract, How much to upgrade?

    I got a 2 year 3GS contract last year and now that the iPhone 4 is coming out, I am considering getting it but I don't know if there is any trade in scheme announced. My 3GS was £180 plus the extra amount each month. Does this mean I can buy the iphone 4 for a similar price and transfer over my contract? Also how much will the 4G be brand new? Thanks for the help

    There will not be a trade-in.
    You can sell your existing iPhone to someone else and use the proceeds to purchase the iPhone 4. You need to contact the carrier for your iPhone regarding your eligibility requirements for being able to purchase the iPhone 4 at a subsidized or discounted price and if you won't be eligible, what the early upgrade or full retail sales price for the iPhone 4 will be.

  • 2-year contract required to upgrade?

    Is a two-year contract required to upgrade your phone? If so, does this mean that if I buy an iPhone 4, I can't upgrade until the iPhone 6 comes out?

    When the 3GS was released last summer, AT&T offered an early upgrade price for those with a 3G who had not met their contract obligation for the subsidy AT&T paid Apple on their behalf for the 3G they purchased at AT&T's fully subsidized price 12 months or so before. AT&T still offers this now.
    AT&T's fully subsidized price for the 3GS is $199 for the 16GB & $299 for the 32GB. This price is for new AT&T subscribers and for existing AT&T subscribers that qualify for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone - any new phone including the iPhone.
    AT&T's early upgrade price for the 3GS is $399 for the 16GB & $499 for the 32GB. This price is for existing AT&T subscribers that haven't fulfilled their existing contract for a subsidized phone - for existing subscribers that don't qualify for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with any new phone.
    AT&T's full retail sales price the the 3GS is $599 for the 16GB & $699 for the 32GB.
    AT&T will probably do the same with the next generation iPhone and for the next one after that for those that must have the next generation iPhone when released.
    Before the iPhone, did you get a new phone every 12 months, or every 18 or 24 months?

  • Early renewal before my 1 year contract is over

    I have a one year contract that is over in November.  A long time ago some verizon rep. online told me that I could renew my contract two months early in September (I am in need of a new phone and cant afford full retail price). Can this be true?  Id love the help and feedback!

    Yes,  1 year contracts become eligible for a subsidized phone upgrade at month 10 of the 12 month contract.  The exact day you will be able to upgrade is based on the day you started the contract.  You should be able to view your upgrade date by logging in to MyVerizon or you can call CS and ask.

  • Why is one year contracts so expensive anymore?  ETF's simply do not jive with upgrade prices.

    Ok so I was looking at the LG Octane, but was shocked at the prices for a one year upgrade.  The retail price is listed at $249.99.  The ETF is $175.  So if I subtract the "subsidized" amount of $175 from the $250, I should be buying this thing for less than $75.  Why is it almost $220 with a $50 online discount, making it almost $170?
    The carriers for years have been saying that the ETF's were to protect themselves from people quiting early, and them losing the retail price of the phone.  It seems to me that they are getting closer to $345 for the LG octane with all the upfront price of the phone and the ETF fees, if someone was to quit early.
    I also was told by several dealers that I can get this phone for FREE with a 2 year contract, but I can not find any similar reasonable deals on a one year contract.  Currently, if I buy a LG OCTANE on a one year contract, I am paying at least $100 more than the phone should be.
    I have heard the excuse a few times that "it is for the carrier to recoup lost service revenue also", but again, that is not what the ETF's have been used for, for over 20 years.  It is also contrary to the excuses that they have said to CONGRESS to justify the need for ETF's.
    So, please explain to me why the ETF's are this high, or why the cost of the phones are this high, when they were never meant to be used like this???????

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • I have an iPhone 4s that is no longer active on my account. I recently upgraded it after completing a 2-year contract. Is it still possible for me to have the iPhone 4s unlocked even though it is no longer active on my account?

  • What is the cost of the upgrade if you are under a 2 year contract already?

    Do you have to be clear of a 2 year contract for this iPhone trade-in to be a deal?  Such as I have a 4s that I got at the beginning of August for my first smartphone because it was the free option at the time.  I love the phone but because I just started a 2 year contract I wouldn't qualify to get the 6 for "free" using the trade-in program?  Am I understanding this correctly?  I would love to upgrade to the newer phone but I will admit that I don't want to pay the $400+ difference if I don't qualify to get the 6 for $199 and use the gift card to cover that.

    That is what I figured but I just wanted to have it confirmed before I wasted any effort in thinking I could do it inexpensively.

  • Started a 2 year contract with Verizon June 2010, but says i can't upgrade until November 2013?

    I got my original Droid back in June 2010 with a 2 year contract and haven't upgraded since then. This droid is acting up now and I tried to upgrade today, but it says i am not eligible until November 2013? How is this possible??

  • 2 year contract on upgrading phone

    Im a little confused. I changed my phone to a one year agreement so I could get a new phone each year but it sounds like each time I do this I move my contract up 2 years. If I do this the next 3 years I would then have a 6 year contract. Is this right? If so is there no way to keep my phone updated without this happening.

    When you receive a new phone at a discounted price each year (annual upgrade), your contract is extended for 2 years from the date of the new contract.  It is not "added on" to your prior contract, it is a NEW 2 year contract from that date.  So you are never obligated to continue your contract for more than 2 years at any time.
    For instance, you buy a new, discounted phone in January of 2010, and sign the contract through January 2012.  In January of 2011, you take advantage of the annual upgrade to get a new phone, and you sign a NEW contract for two years, through January of 2013.  Come January of 2012, you do the same thing, your contract is through January of 2014, two years from the CURRENT contract origination.

  • Early upgrade if contract expires in 2010?

    I know that I had seen this on the Verizon site and should have printed it but??? It stated that if your contract was up in 2010, you would be able to upgrade to the Droid X with out penalty? Can anyone verify this? It is all over the net but I can no longer find it on Verizon's site. It's like they deleted it!

    If your contract end date (this is the 24 month end date, not the 20 month early upgrade date) is in 2010, then you can upgrade to the Droid X at the $199 price (after MIB) on July 15th. I'm not a Verizon employee, so as such, I carry no official weight, but this is the way I understand it to be.
    I'm Patiently/Impatiently waiting for the release of the Droid X!

  • UPGRADE PARTY! ***TWO YEAR CONTRACTS ONLY***

    Now we all know we are SUPER PSYCHED for this new iPhone 4. FINALLY, VERIZON. YOU SHOULDA HOPPED ON THAT BOAT WHEN IT WAS IN DOCK FOR YOU.(You know we had the opportunity to have the iPhone first, right?) Anywayssss, the ones that are happy are the ones that have upgrades. For those that have invested in Androids and phones that have released since last May, but would rather have an iPhone, you're in bad shape (like me). We have signed a two year contract, with no way of getting out of paying a full ridiculous price for another phone. Should Verizon give free upgrades? Anyone else agree? What do you think?
    Note: I'm not a fan of haters. 

    Well what aggravates me is that they are being wishy washy on allowing annual upgrades...which is a legitimate upgrade that is currently on our account.  Other rumors are that the annual upgrade will magically disappear on the 16th.
    So why all of a sudden can we not use an upgrade that we rightfully earned (if this is the case).  And if its not the case and we can use it, then please have your website reflect this when we check eligibility for the iPhone...especially when it shows us eligible for any other phone on the site at a discounted upgrade price.
    Treat your loyal customers well....give us what we've rightfully earned.
