Rebate for upgrading phone

On September 16, 2011, I purchased a new Iphone from the local Verizon store. I believe that I am due a $100.00 rebate for updating my phone, but I do not know how to claim it. Please advise.

Payment Plan for Upgrade Phones

I think Verizon should have a payment plan for new upgrade phones. I have been a long time Verizon customer and in years past when my plan would come up for a replacement phone I always choose one of the top phones and upgraded for about $50. In today's time, due to Technology, to upgrade to say an I Phone runs around $300 by the time you get tax (CA), new charger- home and car as well as a hands free device. To pay that Big amount the next month on my bill is the reason I am holding back getting one and I want the best because new phones are always coming out and we will have a better ones and the focus is everything going mobile. If I could split that total into 2 payments, it would be a lot easier for me and I would be at the store tomorrow buying one. I think Verizon should do this because they would increase their phones sales immediately. No Other Phone Company is doing this and they could pick up new customers from companies that do not offer this. First to the Marketplace to do this has BIG Value.
In this Economy, Verizon could create a way to increase their sales and a sense of Goodwill to help the consumer at the same time...Novel Idea!!!!!!

Pay for the phones and service up front or use a credit card (as SydneyK suggested) ...Verizon isn't going to finance the phone purchase. They are in the business of providing wireless service, not financing equipment purchases.
I can imagine prices would go up if they ever WERE to do this, since I'm sure there would be defaults that the rest of us would cover with increased rates. No, thanks...

Billing vs. Shipping Address for Upgrade Phones

I'm upgrading 2 phones in my family plan to i phones tonight. I want one shipped to my address ( I am the account primary). I would like the other phone shipped directly to my daughter at her college address. Anyone have any experience with different Bill to/ Ship to issues when e-ordering?

i always ship mine to work
but i have both shipped to the same address
you may have to do this via customer service to ship them to diff addresses

Options for upgrading phone without new contract

I currently have an I-phone4 and my contract is up. I want to get a Samsung Galaxy note 2 or 3. Can I buy a used phone, either from Verizon or elsewhere, and stay on my current plan, which offers unlimited data. Would Verizon buy back my I-phone 4?
Thank you,

Yes, you can 'bring your own phone' and keep your current plan. Just ensure that the phone is Verizon branded with a clean ESN. Verizon has a trade-in program, but you probably would do better selling your phone on ebay or swappa.

Upgrade phone for someone else

I'm looking to purchase a smartphone for someone for Christmas. She is eligible for a "new every two" phone, but we are not on the same plan. My question is, would I have to pay the full retail price for this phone if she is going to renew and upgrade her plan when she activates it? Or, can I somehow still purchase it at the "2 yr contract" discounted price?

Exactly what my kids did for me for Mother's Day when they got me my new (now ready for upgrade) phone. Somehow they had it all activated and paid for and all I did was sign the paperwork (as I'm the account owner) and walk out of the store with my new phone.
A gift certificate would work just as well - some people do prefer to handle the details on their account on their own...

Ordering a phone at retail price from the site, not eligible for upgrade

I am planning to pay retail for the iPhone once it becomes available for pre-order (judge me as you wish) but I have never ordered a phone from the website before, upgrade or not. I am not the account holder, that is under my mom's account on the website. Here are my questions -
1. Am I given the option to pay for the phone with any credit/debit card or must it be the one associated with the monthly bill?
2. When I go to upgrade the phone it says upgrade is not available on any of the lines (which is why I am paying retail) - does it still allow me to select the phone and then take me to the next page and show that I must pay retail and then I start the checkout process?
3. Must the purchase be done on the account holder's account?
4. Will the four digit Billing Code be needed to purchase the phone? What other information from the account holder is needed?

1. Am I given the option to pay for the phone with any credit/debit card or must it be the one associated with the monthly bill? You can pay with any method you choose - immediately with any card, or add it to the bill (if qualified to do so).
2.

Yes, it will only give you full retail pricing options. However, I have heard/read somewhere that initially, pre-orders for the iPhone will ONLY be available to those who are currently upgrade eligible. We'll have to wait and see...
3. Must the purchase be done on the account holder's account? I believe so, or you must be an account manager to be able to do anything that affects the plan, billing, etc.
4. Will the four digit Billing Code be needed to purchase the phone? What other information from the account holder is needed? I don't know the answer to these - and it may be a moot point anyway if you are not currently upgrade eligible. You may need to wait till the release date to try and order, rather than do a pre-order.

Can I use my new 4gs on a line different then the one it was upgraded on. I have many phones on my account. I am not eligible for upgrade but I had to buy two new phones for others. Can I give one of them my old iPhone 4 and take the 4gs.?

Yes.
Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

You can't just store photos on icloud. They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos. (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving. Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

Early Termination for Upgrading to Smart Phones

I am really frustrated with Verizon right now. I have plan with several smart phones and 2 basic phones. I wanted to upgrade these 2 phones to Smart Phones. I couldn't imagine that this would be an issue. Verizon only earns more money by having me purchase smart phones instead of basic phones. I was told that I can't upgrade until September when the contract on these basic phones is up unless I want to pay a $175 early termination fee per phone. I understand that in general, you need people to stay with the contract for the 2 years in order to cover the price of the phone they were given. In this case, these are cheap phones. I'm sure they have been paid for many times over in the past year. If I upgrade, verizon will be getting $40 a month per phone instead of $20 a month per phone. I might even upgrade the Data plan. Instead I am completely trapped until September. $175 Termination fee would be way more than these basic phones are worth. I am tempted to go to another carrier and start a new contract and let these run out - it will actually cost me less to pay the bill for these phones and not use them than to pay for an early termination fee. Or maybe I'll try one of the comanies that offers to pay your termination fee. Verizon - you are not making sense! P.S. If you want my basic phones back, you can have 'em.

Unfortunately Joe, VZW can't bend the rules just to satisfy you or anyone else. I know you may think that it would be only smart for them to let you out to get another phone plan that will yield them more revenue. However, they're not seeing it that way in your case. Rule are rules regardless of if we like them or not. I upgraded my iP5 to an iP6+ in September. I was less than 2 months on the end of of current 2 year agreement...but because I used Early EDGE I had to give away my phone, which I was 2 months from owning outright, back to VZW for absolutely no compensation just to enjoy the offer of Early EDGE. Fair...maybe not to most. Some people would think that VZW should have just let them out since they were so close to the end...but I didn't see it that way. I understood my agreement when I signed up and therefore I knew I had to uphold my end of the bargain. My point is, VZW makes exceptions for a lot of things...but I've never really heard anyone on here say that they've bumped up an upgrade just because they were asked by the consumer. Best of luck to you with your next carrier...but be advise that I don't think many other carriers are going to bump your upgrade date just because you ask...they'll inform you that if you plan to upgrade earlier than 2 years then you'd probably want to try their version of EDGE...(i.e. Next, JUMP, or Easy Pay)

How can I buy an iPhone 4S if I am not eligible for a phone upgrade?

I have an Android - hate it! Ready for the global verizon iPhone!! Can I get it Friday? I heard only folks eligible for upgrade can get the phone this week. True? And yes, I am prepared to pay retail.... $849 - ouch.

" I heard only folks eligible for upgrade can get the phone this week."
Preorders may be delivered as soon as Friday.
" Can I get it Friday? "
If there are any available, then yes.
If not, then no.

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4

Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4. Unable to preregister when I ordered the new 6 in September. Now can not contact VZW recycle program regarding.

When I ordered my phone on Sept. 13th in a Verizon store, I had to ask the salesman how I went about getting the $200 rebate. He said shipping materials would come with the new phones. When I received the confirmation e-mail of my order, it contained a link for the rebate. Fortunately I clicked on the link, filled out the form online, and received the packing materials to send my phone in shortly after. My phones came in on Oct. 14th and I sent 3 of them back. So far I have received a gift card for $200 for 2 of the phones; the other is showing not received. I don't know what your situation is, but I think the promotion ended Oct. 15th. If I had listened to the salesman I think I would be out of luck as well. I hope I am wrong for your sake.

Early upgrade for broken phone?

Hello--I have an iPhone 5 that is due for an upgrade on 12/13. Neither of the exterior buttons (the top power button and the home button) work anymore, and therefore I cannot turn on/light up my phone without plugging it in to a charger, and I can never turn it off. Recently, I started getting frequent messages about an "Invalid SIM," where I can't make any calls, send texts, use internet, etc. without turning it off and restarting it. The problem is, I can't turn my phone off, so I just have to wait for the power to run out. I am a graduate student living on my own far away from family, and I don't have a land line, so my phone is my only source of communication, so it really worries me that I often can't use it. Will Verizon ever allow an early upgrade (1.5 months) for a phone that truly just doesn't work any more? If so, how do I go about this? Thank you so much for your help!

Unless they start a new promo the answer is no. If you're having SIM issues get a new one.

While backing up my i phone for upgrading of ios 5 -43 showed up, how can i fix it?

while backiing up my i phone 4 for upgrading of ios 5 and error -43 showed up. how can i fix this problem?

Hey!!
After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
Hopefully this works for you!!!

Hi, I have the iPhone 4S (not due for upgrade) but hubby has iphone 5s. Can we swap sims over to either phone? Many thanks pauline

Hi, I have iPhone 4S (not due upgrade) my hubby has IPhone 5s can we swap sims in each our phones? Many thanks

Not a simple matter of just swapping sims. First, go to your carrier's store & get new sims for each phone...you a nano for the 5S, your husband a sim for his phone. Then:
On each phone, turn off FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone & delete the iCloud account.
Back up each phone, then: Settings>General>Reset Erase All Content & Settings. Once complete, turn both phones off & swap sims. Turn each phone on & restore from the backups you made. Follow this by syncing iTunes content back to each phone. Call your carrier & make sure they have the correct IMEI's for each account/phone.
That's it, that's all you have to do.
