Should I go Edge?

Hello everyone,
I'm in a pickle and not sure if I should go EDGE or not. I am up for renewal and Verizon can give me $200 for my old iPhone 4s (basically a free upgrade to the 6). What I've always done in the past was when the new iphone came out the following year, I would sell my current iphone for as much as I could used on ebay, then pay for the new iPhone for full retail. Normally it came out to be $200 out of pocket anyway. So I'm not sure which is the better way to go.
here is a great link to the breakdown on edge vs regular plans for anyone interested.

I would stay away from edge.... here's why.
Basically you pay the retail price of the phone for 20 months.. In my case I was paying 750/20 = $38 additional per month and getting just a $15 discount to be on Edge. 
Moral of the story - Stay away from Edge!
Sorry Edge discounts are either $10 or $25 there isn't a $15 discount. I would say that if only getting $10 discount stay on contract unless one really wants to upgrade sooner than 24 months. If you are getting the $25 discount Edge is better.
Example take the new iPhone 6 for $650.
Contract. $200 cost, plus $30 upgrade fee plus sales tax $22( in my area )total $252
Edge. $650 plus tax =$713 - $500 Edge discount( $25 X 20 months )=$213
Also line taxes/fees are $1.75 less( in my area ) $1.75 X 20=$35 $213-$35=$178.
So on Edge I'd be paying less and even if I wait until it's 100% paid off before upgrading that's 4 months sooner than a contract. But I could upgrade A LOT sooner.
Moral of the story - It depends. So quit hatin

  • Uc320 should be cutting edge...

    It would be really great is someone would come out with a "Small Business" phone system at an affordable price for small business.
    Small business seems to be left in the dust alot of times, due to their size.  They are expected to use older technologies, older telco thought processes, and phone systems with older thinking.
    My suggestion for the Cisco Marketing and Sales team is to get in a room with some real "Small Business" people, "Small Business Technologists" and "Creative Thinkers" and design a phone system that is amazing.
    A phone system that does everything you could imagine.  Can you even imagine what would happen to the small business phone system market.  If Cisco, or some other vendor, would come out with a truely revolutionary low cost phone system that does everything, does it well, and is forward thinking in it's approach.   Imagine everyone using the Cisco name as a benchmark in it's thinking.  The small business industry could begin thinking about Cisco as the iPhone, iPad and other Apple products.
    With the uc320w, it is clearly a follower product.  It really does not do anything special.  What if it did.  What if it could do follow me, email integration with exchange, What if it could...   Be the leader in small business communications.  To do what no other company does for small business.  To be so entrenched in the media that people are calling us and asking us to sell them the Cisco Small Business Solutions.
    What if...

    Interesting thread, I'm surprised there wasn't more discussion on this.  I bought the UC320 for a branch office but unfortunately without the abilitity to have a remote phone and/or inter office connectivity it doesn't fit the bill.  If it could dial other ITSP numbers that would have been a workaround.
    Some 17 months later from this this thread and little in terms of new features that people have been crying out for have been added which is a great shame because I think Scott makes a brilliant point.  I can certainly understand Cisco or other manufacturers worrying that it will take sales away from their larger systems but I would have thought that this issue could very easily be dealt with by limiting the number of phones/users that can be added to the system.
    Originally, given that the unit was not upto the job we needed it for, I intended to pop the UC320 in a cupboard and bring it back into use in the future if the features that are discussed a lot in this forum are ever brought into being.  However, I've found a use for it and one where I think inadvertently, the UC320 fits really well - that is; at home.  As a home phone system it really does fit the bill as if this is what the designers of the system were really thinking about when they did the original spec and if it's self installed it fits nicely in terms of price.  I may have a little advantage here in that my home already had structured cabling but surely that's not the end of the world for a home user/home office.
    Having said that, I would still like to see the ability to add a remote phone, ideally as a softphone to run on smartphones as it would be handy when I travel abroad to keep in touch with home without a cost implication.  I currently use a softphone app on my iphone to dial in which is instant and free but if I'm wanted from home, they either have to call me with cost or send a text asking me to call them.
    It would be very interesting to see a published roadmap from Cisco for this product with clear distinctions between what "wil" be introduced and what is "under discussion" for possible introduction.  Any chance of that happening?

    Paul.

  • Is it recommended to use HSRP or multiple default between Core Layer Switch and Customer Edge Router?

    My client is asking me for following
    Client is using Router as edge device. 2  WAN links from different service provider ( each 20 Mbps)  are getting terminated on the router. There are internal servers present in the network. Client want to make setup such that even if one wan link fails  internet users should be able to access web server. Moreover if the edge router fails there should be secondary edge device so that there is device redundancy ?
    As per my understanding, in this scenario we need to do static one - to - one natting(belonging to WAN interface subnet). If we use two routers as Customer edge ans if we connect core layer switch to these two router, is it recommended to use HSRP/VRRP/GLBP or two default route on core switch pointing to two routers with equal ad value. we will also track the wan link with help of ip sla.
    which is recommended solution  Router redundancy protocol or Default routes.?

    Just had another read of this post and some other points have come up.
    1) I assumed your secondary link was for redundancy but you talk about terminating both SP links on the same router in your first paragraph.
    Did you mean this or are you going to be terminating a link per router ?
    2) are you using the second router purely for backup ?
    3) something you didn't ask about but is relevant is the IP addressing. Are you using provider independent addressing or does each SP provide you with an address block.
    If it is the second then you are going to have an issue with the web server. The problem is which provider's IP do you use for the web server ie.
    if you use the primary provider IP then that will be the DNS record on the internet. If the primary router fails then the IP address will change on the secondary router but DNS will still be handing out the primary IP.
    If you enter both IPs (primary and secondary) into DNS then you would get load balancing but this means both links will be used and the secondary would not just be backup.
    In addition if one of the links fails then DNS does not know this so it will still be handing out the failed address as well as the address that is still up which means some connections will work and some won't.

  • How can I insert an animation created in Edge into Captivate CC?

    I have a project created in Captivate CC on Mac into which I'd like to place an aniamtion created in Adobe Edge Animate. My research has led me to believe that use of Adobe Captivate App Packager is to be the answer however details are sketchy as to how exactly one should publish the Edge file so one has a "selectable" file to pick from? Does anyone have some insight into this?

    Hmmm first time I hear the Captivate is in CC, I suppose you are talking about Captivate 7.0.1 ?
    You need to publish to a package (extension oam). With the app packager (there is Youtube video somewhere) you create the Captivate app and then you'll be able to insert the oam file or another html animation.

  • Edge animation doesn't work properly or display properly in IE

    I've created an animation using Edge CC. It contains a graphic created in illustrator which has a gradient in it. I've inserted it using the OAM method into my webpage in Dreamweaver.
    My first issue is that the animation doesn't display in IE10 unless I allow Active X, however it takes forever to load.
    If I choose not to load the animation, the Poster image doesn't appear in its place.
    The second issue is that once it eventually loads, the gradient doesn't display correctly - it's a solid colour.
    Is there a way to get my animation working properly in IE?
    And if not, is there code I can use to display an alternative image - something that works in the newer versions of IE? I've tried using <!--[if !IE]> but it doesn't work.
    Thanks.

    I just did a simple test with an svg/ gradient, exported from Illustrator - defalt svg settings.
    Imported (File > Import) into an Edge project file and it works, shows properly.
    Is this the process you went through to add the svg file? When imported does the svg look as it should within the Edge Animate stage, at this point?
    I then opened Dw, new html file; Insert > Media > Edge .oam. It imports properly.
    Enable Live mode and I can see the edge file as well as the svg in all its gradient glory.
    As for the Active X prompt, that is common IF you double click the .html to view or Preview in Browser from Dw because its not within a webserver space.

  • Where is the Edge Inspect feature located in Dreamweaver 13.1 ?

    When i read the DW help, the Edge Inspect feature must be located at "File->Preview in Browser->Preview in Edge Inspect". The last menu item is missing.

    You should have Adobe Edge Inspect and Google Chrome installed on your machine for this menu item to appear.

  • Exchange Online Protection (EOP) instead of EDGE server ?

    Hi, we have Exchange 2010 with HUB server in LAN and EDGE in DMZ. There is an EDGE subscription on HUB and we use EDGE Sync.
    We have Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange (FPE) installed on EDGE. Our license for FPE is coming to end and because FPE is discontinued we want to replace FPE by EOP as SPAM filter and AV for our on-premises Exchange 2010.
    What is the best practise in my scenario?
    Should I omit EDGE 2010 server and create send and receive connectors on HUB server for direct connection to EOP? Is EOP replaces the EDGE 2010?
    or
    Uninstall FPE on EDGE 2010 server and create on it send and receive connectors for direct connection to EOP?

    Hi,
    We can run the Windows Azure AD Sync Tool Configuration Wizard to set up directory synchronization. It would
    synchronize user accounts in an on-premises Active Directory environment to Windows Azure Active Directory (AD), where a copy of those accounts are stored in the cloud.
    Then we need to set up an Outbound connector and an Inbound connector to enable mail flow between Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and your on-premises mail servers. Here are some references about
    directory synchronization and mail flow processing through Exchange Online Protection below:

  • Exchange 2013 Edge Transport Replacement

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question regarding a new 2013 Edge Transport that I need to move to a physical machine.
    It currently resides on a VM and I would like to decommission this machine, remove the edge subscription and redeploy the same configuration on a physical box.
    Do you see any issues using the same name and IP with the new box?  I know it says it is not supported to rename the edge, but If I remove it completely and redeploy?

    Hi Scott4768,
    Based on my experience, you should uninstall the EDGE server which on a VM and then re-install it on a physical box, and you could use the same IP and name.
    In simple terms, the steps are following:
    1. Remove-EdgeSubscription
    2. uninstall EDGE server
    3. re-install EDGE server on a physical box
    4. Create New-EdgeSubscription
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Insert Edge Animate Compositions Unavailable

    I don't have an option to import Edge Animate Compostitions in Dreamweaver's 'Insert' menu.
    Was this an update to CS6 only available in the cloud and not to boxed versions?
    I have CS6 master collection. DW 12.0 Build 5861 for Windows.

    This feature of inserting Edge compositions directly into DW is available only to Creative Cloud subscribers (at the moment, since Creative Cloud brings in all the new features as soon as they're released). See here: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/import-edge-files.html
    However, you can manually insert your Edge compositions into your code with a div tag and a unique Identifier to the div, also adding a few supporting Edge files. You should publish your Edge composition for 'Web'. You can possibly decode the published index.html file source code after that. If you need more help doing this, do post back!

  • S6 Edge Night clock lighting up whole screen.

    Anyone else having issues with the night clock on s6 edge? Only started happening tonight but it greys out the background...you can see its still back lit. However when I swipe to see edge notifications the screen blacks out like it should and the edge notifications come up. Did some searching on XDA and other forums. Apparently carrier updates are fixing the software issue.

    Hi Chatz... Have seen a few reports on this issue Potential solutions:Some people found that wiping the cache solved the issue. To try it, turn your S6 Edge off, then hold down Power, Volume up, and Home together. When you see the recovery menu highlight wipe cache partition with the Volume buttons, and select it with the Power button. When it’s finished, use the Volume buttons to highlight reboot system now, and then press Power to select.Others report that a factory reset solved it, but this hasn’t worked for everyone. If you want to try it, then backup all your precious files first. Go to Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset > Reset device > Erase everything.It seems likely that this is a software issue, though it’s odd that it’s working fine for some people and not for others, despite them being ostensibly on the same software version. Samsung may issue a fix in an update, check via Settings > About device > Software update > Update now.

  • Edge Animation doesn't start properly in Chrome/Safari

    I developed an animated intro sequence at the following address quite some time ago with Edge when it was still in Adobe Labs: http://www.gdc-corp.com . It seemed to work fine when developed, but it was just pointed out to me that the animation sequence automatically starts as it should in Internet Explorer on the PC, but on Chrome and Safari, at least on the mac, when you first hit the page, the animation doesn't run. If you refresh the browser or back out to another page a revisit the page, the animation starts automatically as it should.
    Anyone have a quick thought on why and how to fix?

  • Symbol problems and fonts

    Hi all!
    I have been plagued with a problem when trying to use symbols and think I have figured out what it is:
    Custom Fonts not loading!
    I'm using two custom fonts in my symbols and sometimes when I upload the project to the web, the fonts are not showing in the project symbols.  They ARE uploaded correctly.
    The following also seems to happen almost ALL the time (I think it is 100% of the time):
    1. I have my symbols in my currently working page loaded into edge and all works as it should, both inside Edge as well as when loading the current page into a browser from Edge.
    2. I create a new page and save it to the SAME directory folder as the original working page.
    3. I set the stage to the same size as the working page, then "import" the symbol.
    4. The font in question is showing automatically under "fonts" and is showing under the "text" drop down to the left in Edge correctly for the selected texts.
    5. From here on out, the custom font DOES NOT SHOW in Edge, nor when I try to test in a browser from Edge!
    This, of course, is throwing a lot of stuff off in the symbol that has driven me crazy trying to figure out what was happening!  wherever the font is used in the symbol, most of the text is too big and causing havoc with the design (wrapping, not being hidden" as it should until the appropriate time, etc...).  Until I figured this out, I was even rebuilding entire symbols just to try and fix a problem that I wasn't even aware what it was!
    So, obviously, my question is - How to resolve this?
    I have ONE working page (and a lot of copies!).  Several of these symbols were created to be used elsewhere as well but since everytime I try and load them into a new page they fall apart, I'm in a jam :-)
    Has anyone else run into this or have any ideas as to how to resolve this?
    Thanks!
    James

    ok, I stand before you, head bowed in humiliation, begging for your forgiveness :-)
    I'm not sure what is going on but I found the font problem (or at least it seems so).
    Somehow (and I don't know how but I think I've been "duplicating the same folder content each time I start a new page to test and make changes (since the problem, I have been scared to touch anything that WAS working).
    Well, it seems that the "duplicated" folder was missing my "CSS" folder in every one!
    That explains why, even though the fonts and all the settings in Edge showed everything as being correct - they were; all except the CSS page that loaded the fonts!!!
    Again, I humbly apologize - I really do try and find the problem BEFORE posting here; this one just eluded me :-)
