Upgrade early

Hi all, I have a note 3.  My upgrade doesn't expire for another year.  I have another phone for my wife and hers has 8 months. 
I'm a disabled vet who spends alot of time in bed and has memory problems or I would have called Verizon by now:)
Basically for this awesome lifestyle that I'd die to get rid of, I want to upgrade to a note 4.  I can buy a new phone outright but still stuck in contact?   Basically, is there another way to get the note 4 cheaper than buying outright?  I need to keep a warranty on it since I do alot of water therapy and just drop the phone alot due to injuries:(
Anyone with any ideas?
  I have the ver 2 watch, but like the s ver.  Does anyone know if they are adding an pulse/ox o2 reader on it?  Basically I have to carry a ton of medical stuff w me and first the phone will help but the watch could someday save my life:)  they need to add a glucose reader on the watch too.. 
Thanks in advance!

If you are eligible for the Edge Program you can upgrade now. With the Edge Upgrade the (full price) cost of you phone is divided into 24 payments. And each payment is added to your monthly bill. There are no upgrade fees, it cost nothing upfront to order your phone. And you can pick what kind of warranty (or insurance) you want.
If you are not eligible for the Edge Upgrade right now but your Wife is, you can transfer her upgrade to your line. If neither of you are eligible then you will have to wait on your regular update, or pay full price now. Regular upgrades can be transferred also. So if you can wait, and maybe start doing a little sweet talking, in 8 months maybe your Wife will let you use her upgrade!
Best of Luck!

  • Is there any way I can upgrade early? Considering canceling contract..

    My current upgrade date is 10/26. I bought the very first iPhone for Verizon (iPhone 4) the day it came out. This put my 2-year contract renewal date about a month after the iPhone 5 came out. It took lots of searching to locate an iPhone 5 in stock by the time my upgrade date rolled around. I am trying to see if I can avoid having to do this again with the iPhone 6, as my contract end date falls about a month too late once again. I have been a faithful Verizon customer for 10 years. If Verizon cannot move up my upgrade date I am going to switch to T-Mobile, who will pay my early termination fees from Verizon, allow me to order the iPhone 6 NOW, and has much lower monthly access rates. I don't understand why Verizon doesn't reward its loyal customers and would allow them to walk away after being a customer for a decade. Step up Verizon! Someone in customer service please help...

        trember3,
    We truly understand how exciting the release of new phones are. We do not want to see you go. I do apologize as upgrades are only able to be processed on the actual upgrade date. Are you looking into upgrading early due to issues with your current device? Kaebfly, has presented some great options of either purchasing the device at full retail or looking into your Edge eligibility. Keep in mind if you purchase the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus at full retail you can still take advantage of the trade in promotion, as long as your device is in good working condition.

    It does not work to get the free phone.

    I fully believe it to be against the law and let them know in no uncertain terms, via phone and facebook. I've filed with the FTC. I have screen shots of the multiple offers I got about this and it clearly says 'upgrade early' and 'free'. I am very disappointed with the service I received pertaining to this issue. We've been customers since Alltell and this is ridiculous.

  • Want to upgrade early

    Millionth time asked I suppose but here's my go at this.
    I finally decided to go from a tracphone to a smart phone and was awed by the ally after spending a couple years with a bare bones flip phone.  However I have had it for a few months now and I am very unhappy with it and being stuck with it for another year makes me want to shoot myself.  No flash, small screen, low memory and slow.  There has to be some exceptions to the rules?  Why would a company want you to be miserable for over a year and then expect you to stay with them when the contract is up?
    So, if it wasn't clear are there any ways to upgrade early with out paying full retail?  Also, how does it work if I bought a phone, let's say off ebay can I just go into my local verizon and have it activated?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I did not mean to imply I needed a new phone whenever I wanted.  All I meant is that I am a new costumer and this is my first time with a smart phone and it turned out to be junk and now I'm stuck with a junk phone paying over $100 bucks a month.  I am just asking for a one time upgrade to have the payment be worth it.  I was not contradicting myself.  What I was saying is that I am stuck with verizon the COMPANY for 2 years but would like a different phone.  Since I am unhappy with my phone and I get no help to make me happy, which is what companies should do IMO, why should I renew after the 2 years?  AGAIN I only want a one time upgrade to a phone that will make me happy for the term of the contract.  I apologize to those offened but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.  Also, try not to nit pic every word someone says in a forum as things don't always come across as they are meant.

    What I do not understand is, you stated the screen is small, it is slow, it does not have a flash as reasons you should be able to upgrade..... Did you not notice this in the first 30 days you had the device?? It is NOW an issue????
    We seem cold hearted in our responses as we see this all the time. Around the time the iPhone came out, you would be amazed at the excuses people had on here for why their phone stunk and they deserved a new one.
    They all basically were looking for a way to circumvent the contract to get what THEY wanted at a discount.
    Yet back when they got that last new shiny device, it was like finding that one babe or hunk that they KNEW was the love of their life, so they rush off and do things on an impulse. Then the bloom falls off, he's a slob, she does not dress or act like that hot thang ya saw at the club any longer So Now they want a divorce and not have to pay the costs associated with getting one. 

  • UPGRADE EARLY QUESTION!

    So I was wondering...my phone is a piece of garbage and I want to upgrade early if I can scramble the money together. If I upgrade early and pay full retail price, will I still be eligible for an upgrade this year in December? Or will it automatically change my upgrade status to sometime in 2013?

    Buying and activating a phone at Full Price, or purchasing and activating a used phone from a friend, ebay, craigslist, etc. does not alter your contract term.  You would still be eligible for your normal upgrade in December.
    Good luck.

  • Should Never Have Upgraded Early w/Edge!

    After several years with Verizon, I am so disappointed in the Edge program (my mistake for even doing it) that I am considering returning the Edge upgrade and cancelling that line.  I know there will be a cancellation fee, but all things considered it might very well be worth it.  Just to be clear, cancelling one a line on the account does NOT impact mydditional lines correct? I need those lines in place until the end of their contracts so that I can cancel/migrate those to another carrier as well. So disappointed. I've had a really good experience up until this point.

    I upgraded early because of a broken screen. With my contract ending in February, I didn't see the point in paying for a refurbished phone that was outdated anyway (I upgraded from the Galaxy 3 to the 5). However, Edge requires that I return the phone updated from in good working condition with damages or pay a $200 fee, I am now paying the cost of the new phone and an additional $200...not part of my plan. It just seems better to return the new phone, migrate the number to a new carrier, get the S5 (or a comparable new phone) for little or nothing.
    First of all it sates right there in the early edge up program the phone must be in good working condition. If you knew your phone was not in good working condition why did you do it? Also unless you're within your 14 day return window you can not just return the edge phone. You must pay off the entire amount of the phone. After that you can do whatever you want with the phone.

  • What is option "Automatically upgrade earlier application" ?

    Hello,
    With ZAV, i have produced the msi of Scribus version 1.3, all works fine : when i launch the command : msiexec /i ..., the application is deployed on the workstation.
    I have also produced the version 1.4 of Scribus and i have check this option "Automatically upgrade earlier application", but when i deploy this to the same workstation, the old version are not uninstall.
    My question is very simple: how ZAV determined there is an already existing version on the workstation ? ...same name, same product etc ??
    Thanks you

    I'm not in the office right now, but as soon as I get back, I'll try to follow up and determine if an existing license is applicable to multiple upgrades.  I suspect not, but I have no real knowledge of that.  I do know that a single license only applies to a single platform, so you wouldn't be able to use the same serial number to activate a Windows and Mac installation. 
    I would recommend downloading the latest 30-day trial installations for each platform when your beta expires.

  • Verizon had a promotion that I could upgrade early to the iPhone6 or 6 . is this promotion still available?

  • Upgrading Early 2009 Mac Pro to Yosemite

    I need an upgrading for dummies tutorial   I want to upgrade some applications that I use and can not do that with Mountain Lion which is currently on my Early 2009 Mac Pro. (Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - Memory 12 GB - Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB - OSX 10.8.5). My monitor is a NEC MultiSync P221W and I use Spectraview II to calibrate. I also have an older Dell monitor attached that I only use for palettes, etc.
    I have discovered I can not upgrade to Mavericks and will need to go to Yosemite. I am nervous about the process and undecided what is the best way to tackle this. I assume I will first need to do a full backup and do have a bootable drive that I can use. Can I then just install Yosemite or is it best to do a clean install? I have heard so many negative things about installing Yosemite that I am really uncertain of the best way to tackle this. I am particularly concerned about the reports of system slow down.I have an even older MacBook Pro that is also running Mountain Lion but I have no plans to attempt an upgrade on it. It has had problems since it was fairly new and right now I use an external keyboard and a mouse because using the track pad or keyboard on the laptop cause it to lock up. (Long story and multiple rebuilds during and after Apple Care). So at this point the only machine I am concerned about is the desktop. I use it mainly for Photoshop and Lightroom and Quicken. If someone can give me some advice I would be most appreciative. I am an older gal with casual computer knowledge, living out in the sticks and really have no one available for help. Thanks in advance

  • Is it possible to upgrade early?

    If my contract is three months old, and I want to buy the iPhone 6, is there any way to get it for the subsidized price? Can I simple pay an early termination fee to cancel the contract on my line and then get the upgrade price for signing another contract? What about the edge program?

    The only way to get the iPhone6 for the subsidized price is to start a new line of service, or use an eligible line to upgrade.  Since you began a new contract three months ago, that line is not eligible.  If you cancel, and try to start a new contract within 60 days, the old contract will be reinstated.  EDGE is only available to new customers, out of contract customers, or in some cases, to customers with less than a year left on their contract, none of which apply to you.
    If your current phone is only three months old, and you just have to have the iPhone6, an alternative may be to purchase it for full price, and then sell your current phone to make up some of the difference.

  • Upgrading early 2011 macbook pro from 4gb to 8gb?

    Is there an advantage to upgrading an early 2011 15" macbook pro lion os from

    You have received two correct answers.  8GB is very useful if you are runnung  CPU intensive applications such as games or video applications.  For Web browsing, email,  word processsing etc. it will have no beneficial impact.
    With that said, I suggest you install it because its so inexpensive ($50) that you will be prepared if you do need it.

  • Upgrade Early 2008 from 10.5.8, to ? PLUS a broken RAM slot

    I have a Early 2008 white MacBook, 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo. 
    As I understand it, if I want to upgrade to 10.7, I need to first purchase a 10.6 DVD, correct?
    Is a multi license DVD available?  I have 2 machines running 10.5.8, the MacBook and an iMac.
    Also, the MacBook has been dropped, and now only 1 of the 2 RAM slots works.  (I think the Logic Board is damaged)
    It looks like it could normally support 6GB (4+2), but since I can only use 1 slot, can I use a single 4GB, or just a 2?  (It currently only has 1GB)
    I realize I should probably just buy a newer machine, but honestly this one does all I need.  The only reason I am even updating the OS is because Firefox will no longer work, and some other similar things that are software related.
    Thanks!

    With the Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 retail DVD, the license is usually for one computer at a time to be using the installed system. However as soon as each computer is upgraded to 10.6.8 and running adequately, any computers fated to access the App Store or  Mac App Store for OS X upgrade to 10.7.5, would no longer be running Snow Leopard 10.6; so the license would be open for another upgrade at least to 10.6.8.
    The ailing Mac with only one RAM slot should probably not be upgraded to a higher OS X than 10.6.8, in fact you'd likely need all the supported RAM an undamaged computer would normally have in a full upgrade, for a later OS X to work adequately. Given the damaged machine is running on borrowed time, and needs a hardware repair (such as a specialist authorized Apple repair service can do, in or out of warranty) the least effort involved would be better.
    The older iLife and other applications that ran OK in Leopard 10.5.8 & earlier won't do so well after Snow Leopard 10.6.8 because a feature is not available after 10.6.8 by the name Rosetta to run older powerPC based applications that were common. Those will not run in later 10.7+ or without Rosetta installed from the Install disc in 10.6.8. This may add a layer of difficulty if you have application installers from another era.
    There are a few fairly good highly capable portable Mac repairer service companies that could fix the issue in the partially failed MacBook for reasonable cost, and inspect the rest of the computer, before offering a warranty on their own work. Some of these also offer repaired models as part of their overall business. One that I have brief familiarity with some 8 or 9 years ago, was wegenermedia.com & sent an iBook to them in the mail. And recently discussed with them a repair to my first-edition MacBook 1.83GHz coreduo.
    With only one RAM slot working you could try either chip, to see if one works better than another; however the way core 2 duo processors use RAM it is better if each slot has similar RAM, since it may affect processing as well as data flow. Later models really prefer matching spec sets.
    Have you looked into the iFixit manuals to see the effort involved (if they show it) behind getting to the logic board? Some aspects of repair can lead to more damages than the cure was meant to fix.
    Hopefully it will work OK.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why can everyone else I talk to upgrade early?!

    Really all im trying to do is but the iphone 4 at a reasonable price without waiting till my upgrade date of december 9 2011. It is unreal the amount of people I know who have gotten the iphone at such cheap pricing. Some have gone into the store and complained other called over the phone. Either way why isnt every customer given the same customer service? Everytime I call or go into the store I get a different story. What is the difference in me waiting til december or you upgrading me a month or early so that I can have the phone I really want? & you can keep a loyal customer since 2001.
    smh

    is dec really that far away?
    just wait

  • Upgrade early with amazonwireless?

    I can upgrade my phone on the 20th of August. I called verizon today and ordered a phone and they said when i got it in 2 days i could upgrade/activate it. However, i cancelled the order as i wish to order it through amazon instead. I was good to go but during the "eligibility check" it noticed i have ten more days still and would not allow me to buy the phone yet. Since verizon was already going to allow me to get my phone early, is there anything i can do to get it early through amazon wireless?
    There is a deal on the site that ends very soon and i would like to take up on it. Honestly i dont see why i wouldnt be able to as iv upgraded a few days before the given date before, and verizon was going to allow me to through them a few hours ago.

    Amazon wireless and other third party resellers are not allowed the flexibility to change your upgrade date. This is probably part of their contract with Verizon.
    If you want the upgrade from Amazon you are going to have to wait until your upgrade date (Aug 20).

  • Upgrading Early 2008 MBP to dual drive format and new OS. Should I install new drives or OS first?

    Hi there. I have a Early 2008 15" MBP (4,1). Model A1260. 2.6GHz with a (almost full) 320gb 7200rpm hdd. Instead of spending thousands on a new MBP, I've decided to give my old one a makeover for a few hundred. Here's my situation:
    My optical drive is dead. I'm wanting to set up a dual drive situation by adding a 240gb SSD as well as a new 750gb 7200rpm HDD for storage. I have a new optical drive with USB adapter on the way for external use.
    I'm also currently running Leopord and want to upgrade my OS X. I have the install disk from Apple.
    So my questions are as follows:
    1. This is my first venture into performing surgery of any kind on the computer and I'm not a professional. In a broad sense, is this too much for my 'older' computer to handle?
    2. If I'm good to go this big, should I upgrade my OS first and then switch out the drives or vice versa?
    3. This computer seems to run hot. I feel like it always has and always thought it was because of the 2.6Ghz processor. I'm looking at the WD Black Scorpio 750gb 7200rpm. Is this going to run a lot hotter than my current 300gb 7200rpm HDD? Is there a better option? I usually use it with a USB fan base.
    I also just wanted to openly ask for advice in general, based on my lack of experience. Is there something else I should know before diving in?
    Thanks ahead of time for taking the time to help. I grately appreciate it! I'm really looking forward to this project!

    Hi, what you plan to do will indeed revive your old Mac and make it ~~  fly ~~
    Before you do anything else, Backup Backup Backup, at least to Time Machine and one cloned drive BEFORE you embark on any of the above.

    I have the same model (early 2008 Macbook Pro, A1260, 4,1) and currently run OS X Mavericks on my system with 2 x 1TB Seagate Hybrid hard drives in each bay. Now my computer SINGS.....¶¶•ªªº••¶¶¶
    You say that your hard disk space is low and you will find that that is the biggest bottleneck for your system, so upgrading the hard disk space will make a huge diference. But you should also consider upgrading your RAM too. Some time ago I had upgraded my RAM from the factory installed 2 GB to the maximum 6GB allowed on this computer, and it has made a huge difference.
    2. If I'm good to go this big, should I upgrade my OS first and then switch out the drives or vice versa?
    This step depends on what kind of system you want to set-up. Do you want a clean install, with an out of the box kind of system so that you set up all applications and settings from scratch, or do you want to maintain your old settings and apps as they are, maintaining your users and settings.
    The best way to do the latter is to get an external hard drive enclosure to hold the new drive, and after erasing it and formatting it, clone your old hard drive onto it, using Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper. But for this you will need a SSD with at least the same amount of hard disk space as your current boot drive. After the cloning operation is done, you can swap the drive out from the main enclosure and remove the Optical drive to be replaced by an Optical Bay to hold the new large capacity storage hard disk.
    3. This computer seems to run hot. I feel like it always has and always thought it was because of the 2.6Ghz processor. I'm looking at the WD Black Scorpio 750gb 7200rpm. Is this going to run a lot hotter than my current 300gb 7200rpm HDD? Is there a better option? I usually use it with a USB fan base.
    In my opinion you do not need a 7200 RPM in your optical bay. A 5400 RPM drive will not be noticeably slower on your system, and the benefit of running this in terms of power usage and heat generation will outweigh the slower speed. Also, the Seagate Hybrid drives that I use have 8GB of Flash memory, to run frequently used apps much faster, and the speeds are excellent with lower heat generation.
    To sum up, to lower your CPU temperatures, get more RAM, extra hard disk space for your boot drive and run a lower speed drive.
    I also just wanted to openly ask for advice in general, based on my lack of experience. Is there something else I should know before diving in?
    Since you are upgrading from Leopard to Mavericks, you will need to putchase a retail version of 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) or above and install that before you can install Mavericks as a free upgrade. I would install that first, then upgrade to Mavericks on my old system, and only then clone the system afetr checking that it was working to my satisfaction.
    BEFORE embarking on any of the above, Backup Backup Backup your current system, at least to Time Machine and one cloned drive.
