If I buy a phone under a 2 year contract?

If I purchase a phone under a 2 year contract and then end the contract early, do I also have to return the phone?

And keep in mind that a new activation will require a $35 activation fee (or a $30 upgrade fee if you're upgrading a line), plus you'll pay a month in advance for your service.  And when you cancel the line, the service isn't pro-rated.  In other words, run the numbers because depending on which phone you're looking at as 'free' with a two-year contract, the cost may be close to paying full retail in the long-run, and it would be an easier process to just pay full retail in that case.

  • When my 2 year contact ends, do I have to buy another phone or another 2 year contract?

    When my 2 year contact ends, do I have to buy another phone or another 2 year contract? I want to stay with Verizon but I don't want to have to upgrade my phone and I'd rather not have to lock into another 2 year contract.
    What happens when my 2 year contract ends? Does Verizon tell me? What do I need to do to continue using Verizon as my wireless service provider?

    When you complete your two-year contract, the only thing that changes is that you've completed your contract.  In other words, you don't have to buy another phone unless you want to and you don't have to enter into another contract.  You simply are switched to month-to-month, meaning you're out of contract and can leave Verizon at any time without paying an Early Termination Fee.  And no, Verizon doesn't tell you when your contract has ended, but the information is readily available via your on-line My Verizon account.

  • Is it possible to early terminate and transfer a phone from a 2 year contract and put it on my edge contract instead?

    Is it possible to early terminate and transfer a phone from a 2 year contract and put it on my edge contract instead?

    no. edge is payment plan for new phones being paid at full price.

  • 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.

  • How to switch from Go Phone account to 2 year contract?

    Ok, So I set up my Iphone with the Go Phone account just because it said during setup that with the credit info I provided I needed to go to an At&t store to get some credit check code. Well I live about 4 hours away from the nearest store so I just wanted to use the thing so I just did the Go PHone plan. A few days later I drove to the store and got the credit check done and was provided with a 10 Digit code to somehow enter in Itunes to allow it to set me up with a 2 year plan. Well then I come to find out I also need a new Sim Card. So after many hours on hold with At&t reps I finally got them to send me one. So then I popped it in and connected and it said "please insert the sim that came with the phone" It wouldn't work. So I called at&t and after many more minutes I got someone to clear my old sim and add my new one to my account. She said I just needed to hook it up to Itunes and it would ask me to set up new account with new number and everything. Well it didn't. It just kept my old number and basically stayed the same. It's working now but still on the Go Phone plan.
    So basically I need to know how to clear Itunes of this phone so I start completely over with the account activation.
    Anyone have a clue?

    Im thinking that what happened is AT&T cleared info on at&t systems for your sim card. However, your computer still recognizes the old info on the sim card since it has already synched to your phone. im guessing your going to have to do a restore of your iphone to remove this information. once you do the restore and delete all of your info off of the sim card you should be able to set it up with a new account. make sure that when you restore the phone and sync to your computer again you do not check the option to restore the phone to back up files. otherwise you will just reprogram the phone to work with gophone again.

  • What happens exactly when you buy a phone from a third party?

    My contract is going to end this month and I have a $50 gift card to Best buy. I already posted up a question but for this post I want to know exactly what will I get and what will I won't get.
    I'm hoping to buy a Droid Incredible or a Droid X2 or a Droid 3. (Have any reviews about one, two, or all of them? if you can please type them up... I already read reviews from the webpage and on google but you know more reviews are better)
    So first of all, I want to get the Droids from Bestbuy... I want to. Not I have to. Otherwise, I can get a phone in a nearby Verizon store.  (And I know that sometimes third party stores are bad and this one person said she got hers from walmart. But a lot of technology from walmart is bad. Bestbuy is a lot better in having better condition, quality, etc technology.)
    Will I get warranty/insurance from Bestbuy?
    Can I do a little demo or something like that as I search through Bestbuy's phones?
    Do I get like a return guarantee or something like that if I don't like it?
    If there are other things that I will get or won't get, please state what they are
    Finally, I've been asking specific questions about updating but since none of them apply to me, I want to know what I am eligible for.
    For a brief description: I had an LG EnV 3 but I lost that one and instead of buying a new phone, I just traded my mom's old phone (which was broken so she got a new, same type phone that she graciously gave me). And according to the employee there, when I traded phones, I was still eligible in upgrading to a new phone... Anyway, my mom's actual phone (not the one that I have) is the first line on the family plan. I will ugprade my phone when my two year contract expires.
    So what do you think I'm eligible for?
    I thought I was going to get $100 off but someone says that that's only for the first line... which is kinda confusing since the verizon employee said that me and my sister will get $100 when we upgrade our phones.
     I'm going to call Verizon either today or tomorrow but it's always good to know what non-employees know as long as its valid.

    Will I get warranty/insurance from Bestbuy?----From what I heard they do have their own insurance program that hey take out of your card directly. If you get it and Verizon teels you that you dont have insurance, dont freak out cause they cant see that.----- Can I do a little demo or something like that as I search through Bestbuy's phones?---- I dont know what you mean by a demo, but they do have phones on display to demo last I checked.------- Do I get like a return guarantee or something like that if I don't like it?---- They have a 30 day guarantee I believe, but remember that's for the phone, not for the contract thru vzw.====$100 is for primary line only, rep at store apparently wasnt paying attention or somethin lol. other than that, best buy is a 3rd party, which probaly has their own contract you will probaly sign, so you will need to read their terms throughly!!!

  • I have a verizon prepay phone, and i want to move to a 2-year contract, but i need to keep my phone number,mhow do i do that?

    I Am wanting to from a prepay phone to a 2-year contract, all through verizon, but i need to keep the same number

        You're starting in the right place, PrinessZeldaOOT!
    There are some things that we must share with you.
    As long as you have an active 3G prepaid service for 6 months or a 4G device (no restrictions) and pass the credit check and/or pay any required security deposit this can be done.  Any voicemails will be deleted once you are set up on the postpy system.  From there, you can call 800-256-4646 (800-2-JOIN-IN) or visit a VZW Retail store  http://bit.ly/3SdsA to complete the migration.

  • Can you go to a Verizon store and buy a phone at full retail and use it on prepaid?

    As a current prepaid customer with a 3G iPhone 4, I was looking forward to July 17 to see exactly what Verizon was going to offer for prepaid in terms of 4G LTE. Some of the phones I like but was thinking of some other phones that Verizon offers their postpaid customers but not to prepaid. I wanted to know if I walk into a Verizon store and offered to buy any phone at full retail price, would they sell it to me knowing it would be used on prepaid? The phone I was interested in was the LG G3 but there may be others.

    You would only need to trade in your current phone if you are still under contract AND eligible for the early edge offer. The early upgrade may be available if you have less than 1 yr to go on your contract.
    If you are off-contract and eligible for an upgrade you can get a new phone on the Edge program (assuming you are eligible).
    As to same-day phone - that still depends on if the phone you want is available or has to be ordered.

  • Still no way to buy extra activations under a current cloud account...

    Vinayak: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
    David Weisenbarger: [email protected]
    Vinayak: Thank you for email address.
    Vinayak: I understand that you need the extra license for the creative cloud subscription, am I correct?
    David Weisenbarger: yes
    Vinayak: Thank you for confirming.
    Vinayak: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.

    Vinayak: Sure.
    David Weisenbarger: DSSY********************
    Vinayak: Thank you for the order number.
    Vinayak: May I know on how many systems the product is working successfully right now?
    David Weisenbarger: I currently use it on one school notebook and one home pc successfully. I have a new third pc at my parents house I need to activate the software on now.
    Vinayak: According to the End User License Agreement (EULA) law, it is recommended to install the Adobe Software on only two computers and that is mentioned on the End User License Agreement when installing the Software provided the Software is not used simultaneously.
    Vinayak: However, you can install the Software on the third Computer by de-activating the Software from one of the older one and then install it on the new one so that you can avoid any error message while activating the Software.
    David Weisenbarger: I am aware. I am actually interested in paying extra for a third activation ability.
    David Weisenbarger: If not available, I will have to just buy another cloud subscription.
    David Weisenbarger: it would be better to have them all under my one account
    Vinayak: In this case you need to buy another subscription with the different adobe account as there is no option to buy two subscriptions in one account.
    David Weisenbarger: in that case, please put this in as a feature request to buy additional activations under a current cloud subscription. I am sure many people want/expect this.
    Vinayak: In this case I will provide you the link to contact the sales team over phone so that they will be glad to assist you in this regard.
    Vinayak: Please click here.
    Vinayak: Did you get the link?
    Vinayak: Please click on the sales tab to locate the sales number.
    David Weisenbarger: thank you

  • 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

  • Why are the phone sales lying to customers telling them they will get a new phone under the warranty

    This is my story from Store 1513 2441 North Maize Rd Wichita, KS 67205 Why are the cell phone sales people lying to customers by telling them they will get a brand new replacement phone under the purchased warranty when they really have to wait to be sent a refurbished phone? This seams like a scam! I have been told we would get a brand new phone on 3 separate contract renewals in the last 6 months if there ever was a problem, and now that I have a problem they say no you have to wait for a refurb in the mail? Guess you CEO will be getting an earful!

    Hello WilliamAnderson,
    Our Geek Squad protection I can assure you is not a scam but I understand why you would feel that way considering the circumstances. Our Rapid Exchange process, with certain mobile devices covered under Geek Squad Protection, “utilizes refurbished products of like kind and quality and of comparable performance”.  I apologize for the confusion this has caused you after you invested in that protection plan.
    I realize this is not what you were led to believe in the store and I would like to reach out to the Wichita, KS store (1513) to pass along this feedback. I will be sending you a private message to get some more contact information from you; to check your private messages, click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner while you are logged into the forums.

  • I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on two separate apple IDs. how do I do this?

    I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on separate apple IDs, how do I do this??

    If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data.  Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'.  If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
    In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

  • Can I buy a phone verizon pay as you go and use it on my verizon contract?

    My verizon wireless broke and I don't have insurance and I'm six months before I can qualify to renew a contract, so I'm stocked in trying to get a second hand phone, but I saw the same model of my broken phone selling in flea bay from the verizon pay as you go. My question is, can I use one of those phones to be activated on my verizon? I would hate to buy the phone and later find out that verizon won't activate it.

  • My iphone 4s wont switch on or reset. i spoke to apple earier and they will replace the phone under warranty. i didnt back up my phone on itunes or icloud. as the phone will not switch on i am unable to do this now. any ideas how i can get these off?

    My iphone 4s will not switch on. Supposidly it has been "charging" all day and stll it does not have enough life to switch on. Rang Apple this morning and they will replace the phone under warrenty free of charge. Only problem is with this being my first Apple product i didnt realise my phone did not automatically back up on itunes or icloud as i had to set this up.
    Now i am trying desperately to get my phone to switch on so that i can save all of the baby pictures of my 7 month old son and its not working. i have tried to reset the phone but it does nothing!!
    Can anyone PLEASE help as i am very upset and do not want to lose these precious memories?

    You cannot get Applecare plus now.
    It is unlikely that they will replace as it is damaged.  The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the genius and and see what they say.
