Have to buy at FULL Retail price????????

I am not due for an upgrade, but I thought that if I extended my current contract by 2 years that I could get the $199 price but NO, Verizon things I will pay full retail price to get it now. That is messed up. Guess I'll wait for the iPhone 5.

So much for loyalty! We stuck with Verizon through thick and thin and now they won't let us upgrade early. If they really want to show us that they care about our loyalty the Execs at VW would waive the upgrade eligibility restrictions and let all existing customers upgrade to the iPhone if they so choose. To send an email to us thanking us for our loyalty and commitment to VW and then not offer early upgrades is a disgrace. Why have I stuck with VW so long? I have no idea....we will be looking for a new carrier soon.
It all depends on when you upgraded last. Keep in mind that VZW often loses money on the phone discounts, which is made up through the bottom line cost of the monthly payments for the term of the contract. They care about loyalty, but not something that will damage their overall ability to make money or make up the revenue that was lost. They are not disgracing you in the least, but to some extent, you have to abide by the terms of the service that you agreed to. Just as much, if they did anything that defied their agreement, you would be unsatisfied.

Can i buy an iphone 4 at full retail price

I was wondering, im travelling to usa and i really want the new iphone, if i go to an apple store and tell them that im not from usa but i want the iphone, can they sell it to me at the full non contract price? i think they can because that's how i got the first generation iphone. i told them that i wanted to buy one but i wasn't from usa and that if they could unlock it for me, then they politely unlocked and sold me the iphone.
Can i do that with the iphone 4? thats supposing i can find one.

Yes they can be sold at full retail price, ATT service is still required though. The phone is still locked to ATT network and will not be unlocked by apple or att

Still possible to buy iPhone 3gs at full retail price?

Just wondering, now that the 4 is out, is it still possible to go to one of the apple stores in Boston (travelling there soon) and buy iPhone 3gs 16gb at full retail price?
Is it also possible to buy the iphone 4 at full retail and what are the prices for either of these phones?
Because my mate once bought it in Best Buy and now (almost 3 years later I think) he could not buy it (at full retail price).
Thanks in advance.

Only if there's stock left. The current 3GS is 8GB only. But apart from that I don't see why not.

IPhone at full retail price

If you are not eligible for an upgrade will you be buying the iPhone at full retail price? I am not eligible for an upgrade so I'll be selling my Dinc and putting that money into the iPhone.

I have an upgrade, but if I didn't there is no way I'd pay $650 for a phone that's been out for quite some time. The only way I'd pay that much is if I had a nice phone to sell that would go towards the cost, like you. The only reason I'm not waiting for the iPhone 5 is because I figure I can sell the iPhone 4 and use the money towards the iPhone 5 anyways.

I purchased a Maxx at FULL retail price (out of contract) to keep my unlimited data. An unauthorized/illegal change was made to the plan and all VZW could do was offer me $20 in credit.

As the title says:
I purchased a Droid Maxx at full retail price (approximately $540) to keep my grandfathered unlimited data. An unauthorized/illegal change was made by my younger sister (who is not an account manager and stole the information from my mom) to the plan and I was not notified within the 14-day closing period to revert the changes. For the record, both my mom and I are account managers, my younger sister is not.
I went in to my account (and changed all the information) and found out that when changes are made to the account online, you have to send an authorization text to one of the phones--however, you can send this authorization to ANY of the phones on the plan, so my sister sent it to hers (instead of an account managers).
So, the only reason I found out about this change to my plan was via a text message telling me I was "approaching max data," which of course should not happen with unlimited data. My younger sister did not tell anyone she made the changes.
When I found out about two (nearly three) weeks ago, I called Verizon to open a ticket about it. They did, said they would call/text me back a few days later--they didn't. One week later I made another phone call to see what the status on that ticket was--the rep said that the other rep was supposed to call me, but didn't, and so he pushed the ticket again. Lo and behold, another week later, still no response from VZW about the ticket. So I called again only to find out that the request to revert the data plan back to unlimited had been denied.
I spoke with that representative for nearly 40 minutes and all she could offer was some unwanted advice about what to do about my sister's behavior or that "I'm so sorry that someone would do that." I told her I wasn't looking for consolation, but for a compromise on either getting my unlimited data back, or refunding the difference between contract and full-retail price of the phone. I threatened to leave VZW because of this and all she could offer was a measly $20 credit.
I have filed a BBB complaint against Verizon Wireless for this issue as an illegal change that goes unnoticed past the 14-day closing period should be addressed in a more urgent manner.
I have also reached out on Reddit and Twitter, because obviously calling the VZW support does nothing to alleviate my situation. I am very dissatisfied with how VZW is handling an illegal and fraudulent change on my account that has shafted me out of 500 dollars.

You seam to be focusing your anger at Verizon and not your sister. Verizon followed the rules and required IDs and passwords to access the wireless account. You and/or your mother are supposed to safeguard that information. Your sister has committed the felony by stealing your mothers identity for personal gain.
You say "I am very dissatisfied with how VZW is handling an illegal and fraudulent change on my account that has shafted me out of 500 dollars.' My question to you is who made the illegal and fraudulent change to your account? Verizon or your sister? Keeping in mind your sister had all the correct IDs and passwords,
I'm sure if you went to Verizon and wanted to make some changes to your account, and you had the correct IDs and passwords, you would be upset and angry if they put you through the 3rd degree because they thought you were committing fraud.
Good luck to you, (seriously) whatever happens,

I try to order other phones but find a data plan is required even for full retail price?

I try to place a order for other phones (to get used to the process) but find even if I choose the full retail price, I still have to choose a data plan.
So the question is that through verizonwireless.com, can I get the pre-order the verizon iphone 6 full price WITHOUT a data plan?

Please clarify what are you trying to do. Do you have an account now? Are you trying to get a new phone on an unlimited data line you already have?
If you are starting a new line, and you are purchasing, even for full price, you must have a data plan with Verizon. You cannot use WiFi only. Verizon policy.

Pre Order at Full Retail Price?

So I am not eligible for a 2 year upgrade, but am interested in purchasing the Iphone 4 at full retail price.
Does anyone know if existing vzw customers can PRE ORDER the Iphone 4 on February 3rd at full retail price.
I have been getting mixed answers, and I really do not feel like waiting up until 3am EST to pre order the phone if I can't.
Anyone know?

Ohhh, well after looking online a little more, I cam across this post

Why did my plan change if I paid full retail price?

I bought a new Samsung Note 4 on Saturday at the local Verizon Wireless store, paying full retail price to avoid needing to make any changes to my existing plan. However, I received a data usage alert 10 minutes after leaving the store as my plan was reset to 2GB. I was told by multiple service agents that an IPR was placed to reset my plan back to unlimited. How do I get an update on the status of that request? There is nowhere to check on the Verizon Wireless website from what I am seeing. Thank you.

Congrats on your new device purchase carmencampise. I know how concerning it can be when you see your plan changes unexpectedly. If you purchased a new device at full retail, it should not have removed your unlimited data plan. I understand an inactive pricing request has already been filed. This is the correct step to readd your unlimited data plan back to your account. This process can take 5-7 business days to complete. Have you received an update on the request?
Thank You,

Has anyone purchased the iPhone 4 full retail price?

I'm currently thinking about purchasing the iPhone at the unsubsidized price which is $700 for the 32GB iPhone 4. But my upgrade is available until May 8 of this year.
I'm a kinda impatient person but working on being patient but I really do want the iPhone.
Has anyone bought the iPhone 4 at a unsubsidized price or was it subsidized?
I'm on a family plan also and my sister line (primary) and my mother line (month to month non contract) is available for upgrade. I can use those I hope...
Thanks...

Many people on here have bought the iPhone at the full retail price because their upgrade wasn't up yet. In your situation, I would advise you to wait until May 8th, it's a lot closer than most people's and it's a substantial discount when you wait. You'll save $400. Or as you've pointed out, you can use your sister's or mother's upgrades right now if they don't mind, and then whoever's upgrade you take can use yours on May 8th. That would also be a very good choice, rather than purchasing the full retail iPhone.

Was just told some interesting information regarding preorder and full retail price by a VZW Rep

Just got off the phone with a rep on 611 who confirmed if you preorder you will receive the phone ON OR BEFORE the 10th. Now for those looking to purchase at full retail price, you will have to wait until the 28th. Don't shoot the messenger

VZWSWAG wrote:
I am only telling you all what i was told by this one rep. Why would I make this up? I personally do not even believe it. At first the rep told me that if you preorder you wont get it until the 28th, then i went back and forth with her saying how that sounds rediculous. Eventually she spoke to someone else (i think supervisor) and corrected herself by saying if you want to pay full retail you have to wait until the 28th.
Ok I don't think you're making it up. Sorry. It's not anyones fault here that they're being misinformed. Like you said you don't believe it either. But, cmon it's ridiculous.
Anyone here ever work as a CSR? I have for a U.S. major bank about 6 years ago. Here's how it works:
In fairness it's not REALLY the CSR's fault...
Any time there is some type of new promotion, thye herd in groups of CSR's at a time and they have a real brief meeting ("training") which barely covers the basics. They do this for 2 reasons.
1- Time is money and they lose money having reps off the phones. They cover the basics have a quick Q&A and then get them back to work. They are given, in reality, inadequate info. Basically just enough to be dangerous. LOL. This is TRUE!
2- The corporate suits purposely do not give the CSR's all the info. They don't want them spilling the beans and causing problems. Which in turn can cause even more problems.
Now that causes THIS to happen:
A customer calls in about the new promotion. They ask a specific question the CSR has no clue about how to answer. CSR does not want to sound stupid and literally just flubs his way through it rather than saying "I don't know".
Every CSR within hearing range, hears what that CSR just said and thinks "Cool", they start telling the same **bleep** to customers. By the end of the day EVERYONE believes it is FACT and uses it. Over time like any other tall tale or rumor it takes on a life of it's own.
Floor supervisors are in the same boat. They have maybe a TINY bit more info but, not much at all. They're asked a question they panic and literally make something up for the CSR to feed the customer.
It's actually an insane environment. I'm glad I don't have to do it any more. But, the above scenarios I described happen every single minute of the day.
And then you have the really unethical sales reps who will slam you into an upgrade or "after-sale" to inflate his/her stats. That doesn't happen as much as it used to but, still does.
If you want the real answers, asked to be transfered to the supervisors, supervisor. Or possibly Retention.

IPhone 4 'Full Retail Price"

Why is it that Verizon claims the iPhone 4's full retail price at $649 and $749 and the "discounted" prices at $199 and $299? The standard retail price for an iPhone 4 is $199 and $299. I can walk into any Apple store and pick up a 32gb iPhone 4 for $299 right now. So, why is this considered a "discounted" price by Verizon when, in actuality, I'm not getting any discount on it at all?

I'd like to see you go into ANY official Apple store and purchase an iPhone 4 OFF contract for the $199/$299 price. You "may" want to read a little closer when you are viewing those prices.
Feel free to go to http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone and look at the little numbers beside the prices. You should see a "2", and when you scroll DOWN the page, you will then see this:

Hello. I have Adobe Captivate 6 and wanting to upgrade. How can I upgrade to the new Captivate 8 since I do not have 7 or access to 7? Doesn't make since I'd have to buy another full version opposed to simply upgrading what I have. Please help.

How can I upgrade Adobe Captivate 6 without purchasing the full version of the new Captivate 8?
I'm told that the window of opportunity to upgrade to 7 was short and now that 8 is out i cannot leap from 6 to 8. Doesn't make since that I'd have to buy a full version of a program I already own.
Can anyone help me with a simple upgrade possibility?

It stinks that there isn't an upgrade option from 6, but it's due to the new subscription option for Captivate which actually ends up being far cheaper for you in the long run. Captivate 7 came out a little over a year ago the upgrade for that was the same as the 7 to 8 upgrade. As the upgrade is $400 and a subscription is only $20 per month, or $240 for a year, you'll end up saving money should the next upgrade come out in another year.

Which versions?

Buying a full retail install OS X 10.5 for upgrade

Hi all,
I've got a 15" Powerbook G4, currently running Tiger (which I upgraded to; the machine originally came with Panther). I've since lost the install discs, but I'd like to do a full re-install and thought I may as well buy the install discs for Leopard. I've been looking around and they seem quite hard to find. Many of those on eBay ("Full Retail Install DVD") say that they've been used once. Would I be able to use these, or can you only do one install per disk?
Thanks,
Matt.

The SLA for Leopard says that it can only be installed on one Mac at the same time. There is no problem with buying and using a used Leopard DVD, as long as you only install it on one of your Macs. The previous owner should have deleted Leopard from his Mac before parting with the install DVD. But if he didn't, it won't affect your ability to use the DVD according to the permitted terms under the license.
Make sure you get the full retail version. A grey-coloured Leopard System Restore DVD that shipped with a new Mac will only work with the same model it shipped with; it won't work on yours.

How can i buy an Verizon iPhone 5S at a full retail price?

Can i get one just at Apple Store? Or can i get one at Verizon Stores?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, but from what i seek, the Verizon model seems to be unlocked, ive seem many blogs and videos showing and proving that, AND, also, ive seem many people argueing about the T-Mobile model, saying it doesnt come already unlocked, that you have to use it with a T-Mobile plan for 40 days and then after that you can request an unlock....I live in Brazil, and some friends bought the T-Mobile model and their phones arent working here, and some bought for the Verizon full price and they`re working fine, i just wanted to know how and where should i buy an verizon full price, because the apple online store or the retail store doesnt offer you an verizon phone for 649, so im just lost on it.

Have to buy at FULL Retail price????????
