    Hi there nursegrl02! We can help here with your questions regarding the upgrade fee and device charge. The upgrade fee is a one time fee that is applied when upgrading with a 2-year contract. If you pre-order with a two-year contract, you would need to add a credit card to your order as you will be charged for the device once it ships out. If you happen to purchase the iPhone with Verizon Edge, there is no upgrade fee. You will also be billed for the device in installments. You may have to pay a down payment with Edge.  Go to vzw.com/edge for more information.
Did you upgrade with Verizon Edge or our Device payment plan in the past? If so, that is most likely why you were not charged an upgrade fee.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Thank you,

  • Why was I charged a CROSS BORDER FEE on Skype?

    "Why was I charged a CROSS-BORDER FEE on Skype?" I never had to pay that before.

    I hear you! I cant even contact anyone at Skype to cancel Skype and get a refund..they debited my bank account even though I had cancelled auto recharge... Not happy been trying to email them and it doesnt work....stop taking my money! 

  • I was just charged a hidden upgrade fee......

    and when I called Verizon Customer Non Service about it, Tasha told me everyone was paying it and there was absolutely NOTHING that could be done. I calmly told her that since we have been customers for the past 15 years, we didn't have to pay any UPGRADE, change phone, transfer contact or any other silly fee that had been conjured up. Tasha told me that since April 1, this was new. I asked Tasha where I would have know about this charge and was smartly told that by going to myverizon. com, I could have found the information............sure, if I'd actually been searching for it, but since I'd never had to pay them, why would I? Were they mailed to me with my bill in advance, No, was it emailed to me? No, was it sent as a text on my phone since my upgrade was impending? No.  I then asked what Verizon did for me to earn my $30 and again was smartly told that they had changed my contacts, showed me how to use the phone and had set up my apps. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I'm sure the guy at the Apple Store that sold me the phone AND set it up would have something to say about that. Oh, she did say that if I'd gone to the Verizon store to buy my new phone, they would have told me. I stopped going to the retail stores ever since they stopped serving customers. Clearly, Tasha wasn't feeling how badly jipped I'm feeling and I asked to speak to someone above her that could maybe understand that I didn't want to pay this outrageous and simply unethical hidden fee. She told me that her manager Troy, was on vacation for 2 weeks and couldn't be contacted and that no one was taking over in Troys absence, so I was simply out of luck...BUT  I could write a parcel post to a nameless person, in a city far away where I would have no idea how to follow up. Fine, Tasha, you win, could I please do the survey after we hang up so I can at least talk about my service tonight, "Oh, sorry we would have had to offer that to you before we started the discussion but now it's too late". $350 a month I pay to Verizon, I bet ATT would like my money!
    Should anyone at Verizon care to call me back, the only call I want is the one refund my $30.

    Did you go post on Apple's forum about how the salesman that knew about the upgrade fee didn't tell you? Welcome to the new generation where your expected to educate your self.
    Due to your choice of going else where purchase your device, you take liability of finding out what fees you will incur, Verizon can't hold your hand and advise when they aren't aware of what's going on.
    AT&T will take your upgrade fee money I am sure!!! Either way you go, your going to pay.
    You probably knew about the fee, and thought if you went through Apple they wouldn't charge it.
    Your ignorance to the fee doesn't make it hidden.
    Secret about Customer service, it is their job to get you off the phone with out talking to a Supervisor. As that Supervisor has better things to do than listen to the same sob story the last rep had to listen to, only to tell them the exact same thing.

    My wife is due for an upgrade and I was wondering when exactly you have to pay the $36 fee, do they charge you at the store? or will it simply be added to your next months bill?

    I completely understand when I buy a phone using an upgrade I get it at a discounted price and Sprint extends the contract I have and charges fees to make up the cost.  However I received a phone as a birthday gift from my boyfriend who bought the phone for me at full price.  I was charged $36  as an upgrade charge.  Are you serious?

    AT&T and T-Mobile both have been charging $18 for their fee for a long time, and this February AT&T doubled that fee to $36 — making Verizon’s $30 seem not so bad.
    There you go, I just fixed your ignorance of the Other companies upgrade fee for when you switch

  • My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

  • If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

    If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

        mln2603,
    Great question, it's important to have an idea when you can get the phone. Currently, the launch date annouced is September 19th, 2014. The stores will receive phones on that day as released and they will sell on the same bases, first come first serve.

  • Why i cannot activate my iphone this morning

  • When I was running this morning I was listening to my iPhone.

    When I was running this morning I was listening to my iPhone, and a song came on that I really liked but I didn't recognise, is there anyway that we can invent an option on Siri to say "who" and then it tells you the details of the song i.e. song title and artist.
    Then when I create a new running playlist I can add this to my collection.
    As most people these days, probably have a lot of "whole" albums, but only listen to a few of the songs, it's always great when you unearth these little hidden gems.

    Then you're going to have to wait till you get home. The phone needs to be connected to iTunes. It's in recovery mode.
    Since you've never synced, your data is gone. There is no way to recover it. Unless you were running iOS 5 and were backing up to iCloud... but I kind of doubt that since you would have had to plug it in to iTunes to update it to iOS 5 in the first place.
    I would HIGHLY recommend you update it to iOS 5 and set up iCloud backups when you get it home. That will at least help prevent you from finding youself in this situation again.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT2178 I do not have sound on my computer.  It was fine last night but when my husband turned it on this morning, there was now sound.  Also My iPhoto shuts down when I try to run a slide show.  I have just had my computer for 2 1/2 weeks.

    I had sound on my computer last night but when turning on this morning there was no sound.  It is not muted.  Any suggestions.  Also, when I try to run an event in IPhoto as a slide show, it shuts down.

    Just to clarify, does iPhoto unexpectedly quit or does your computer shut down? For the sound problem, try here:

  • Pre Order iPhone 4 at at&t

    My mom was going to pre order iPhone 4 in her name using her credit card and then giving it to me to be my phone. However all the pre order problems wasn't able to get through. Now that she can get through it cannot find her address. She has a PO Box where she gets her mail for the mail is not delivered in her town and a physical address for fed ex and ups. She called apple and they couldn't find her address so they said she could not order it in her name and send to me because her name and address had to be the billing address. Also she called her local at&t store and they said she could come in and pre order it there, but now they are no longer taking pre orders at their store. Is there a way to call apple and have the account set up in her name, but send it to my address? Both companies seem to be giving the run around. All she want to do is pre order one when one becomes available and even pay for it during pre order at at&t store or over apple on the phone, but can't seem to do that since they are not allowing pre orders at at&t and apple can't find her address on their system. She has fed ex delivered there. You think someone at apple could over ride their own system and have it sent to address where fed ex and ups know where she is at The closest apple store is like 5 hours away.

    That has always been the case. Shipping address and billing address must be the same.

    Can I pre-order Iphone 5 from apple website and does it cost extra to pre-order?

    your bound to get a long line up where ever you are near an official apple store, but if youtr planning on getting by one of your carreirs it depends where you live as i was able to get iphone on the day it was released at my carriers store, though im exploring other options atm, whether it worth buying it out on apple store, work out my average data usage and just buy data packs for like $5 - $20, but no idea what atm.
