Service discount when buying a phone outright

Looking into the possibility that we will change our service plan to this MORE EVERYTHING stuff and I saw the nice discount that was offered to EDGE participants. For two of the lines, we already have newer Moto Xs and the other three that we would be adding we would just buy outright when we converted to the new plan. So based on that information, and what I gleaned from the MORE EVERYTHING FAQs page, we wouldn't get the $25 per line, per month discount.
Just trying to understand why when we are not buying subsidized phones, that we wouldn't be getting some type of discount on the price of the plan.

If you move to (or are on) the MoreEverything plan - any smartphone line not on a contract because you bought the devices outright, or have completed the 2 yr agreement IS eligible for the monthly discount.

  • Question on buying a phone outright to keep my unlimited Verizon contract.

    Howdy I have a contract that I've had for about 8+ years its totally unlimited.
    My old DroidX is on it's last leg.
    Verizon wants me to buy a new phone and contract, limiting my limits.
    I seldom reach their minimum basic account, they say I don't need unlimited, but my contract cost me the same amount out of my pocket as their lowest plan.
    They say they want to take away the unlimited beczause it slows everyone down.
    I say Bunk!
    I seldom reach high numbers, so how can my long term customer history be a problem for them.
    Let me keep my plan, so just incase I need it, after all it's the same price, short pennies one way or the other.
    they told me I could buy a phone outright, but at thier store its upto $700 for whats on thier shelves.
    Ok so that said, How and where, and what phone can and will work. The DroidX is on on a 3G service plan, can a 4G phone still be placed on this plan.
    I searched sights, and found Verizon phones for around $200, that are like NOS form a year or so ago, but can I actually just buy one and activate it to my account?
    I'm terribly in the dark and confused, and frustrated to be told I have to do what they want now.
    We signed a Contract, I've never missed a payment, I've kept my end of the bargian, bla bla bla
    Thanks for any and all help

    Hi there T_O_A_D-
    Welcome to the Best Buy forums!
    It certainly sounds like you have a great set up with your current contract with Verizon and I completely understand why you’d want to keep it based on your current usage.  I’ll be honest, I’m no expert when it comes to mobile phone contracts and what’s available out there any longer (my wife handles ours..
    However, it does seem like more and more companies are restricting the ability to have unlimited data unless you are signing up for a new contract with them (along with an accompanying new phone).  I’ve requested that one of our Super Users, who is a mobile phone expert, come on to this post and offer his opinion (MMaier is his name).  Hopefully he will be on pretty quickly to give you some advice.  Otherwise, I would also suggest contacting your nearest Best Buy and speaking with one of our Best Buy Mobile agents as well.
    Thanks for posting and welcome to the conversation!

  • 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

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Discount When Buying iMac

    I recently bought a new iMac but accidentally forgot to check the box that says "wireless mighty mouse." I wanted to buy one yesterday of the online store but found they were £49!! When buying with an iMac they were £13. Is there any way that I can get one for £13? (I still have my iMac Receipt!)

    I am sure that the £13 was the difference in price between buying the Mac with a wired vs a wireless mouse. It is £49 at full price. I doubt Apple is interested in trading you mouses, but the only way to know is to ask Apple.

  • 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.

  • Am I able to use a federal employee discount and student discount together when buying a new computer?

    Am I able to use a federal employee discount and student discount together when buying a new computer? I work for the government, but am also a full time student at a university. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that and knew if you were allowed to do this?

    No.  Since I have friends working at Apple, I can get an employee discount.  Since I'm also attending school in Asia, do you think I can get an employee discount AND a student discount?

    You can exchange for an out of warranty exchange iPhone 4 at a price of $149 in US
    you get an as new iPhone 4 and the Apple genius bar take your "bits"
    Apple are about to offer a trade in programme in the US but I believe the donor iPhone must be in full working order to qualify
