What happens after you pay off your edge device

What **… I thought vz had come back to earth… but apparently after you pay off your device (or if you just buy it outright), they charge you the subsidy portion of the line charge again.  That makes no sense whatsoever….  they charge you the same amount, whether they subsidize a phone for you or not.  That makes no sense.  People, stop paying it!!!

none of the other carriers do this anymore…  we all understand subsidies (well apparently not)…  if you go to any of the other carriers, and you do not buy a phone on contract, your service is less expensive because they don't need to recoup the money they "lost" on the phone.  But Verizon continues to charge you regardless… 
If you go to ATT, you can get 10gb (yes 10), 2 smartphones off contract, 130/mo.  You can even use their version of EDGE and still pay that same amount (plus your device payment)… and guess what, when your done paying for your phone, they don't increase your service charge.  If you do the same on VZ, your bill will also be 130, but when you pay off your phone, they jack your bill up to 180….
I think if VZ just came out and said "Look, we are the best, so we charge more.  Period."  I'd respect that…

  • HT201263 What happens after you recover your ipod?.

    My ipod is blue and I'm going to recover it , but what happens after I do will it still work ? Will all my stuff be deleted? Does it turn like when you first got it? Will I have iOS 6? 

    If you mean restore the iPod via iTunes see:

    The iPod will be erased and if the iPod can be updated, it will be updated to latest available iOS version.

  • What happens if you lose/break your iPad host computer?

    I am migrating over to iOS from Android and I seriously dislike both iTunes and iTunes Wi-Fi sync, but the iPad is a great device. Now, I had a question about the iPad. I have a Windows laptop and a new iPad. What would happen to the media on the iPad if my computer is destroyed or stolen? Is there any way at all to recover the data without the computer that has iTunes on it?
    If you can, then how is it done? If you cannot, then the iPad is a dealbreaker for me.

    You can redownload iTunes purchases.
    If you are using iCloud, that will have contacts, calendars, notes and bookmarks sync'd.
    You can backup the iPad to iCloud but it is not a complete backup.

    You mean not getting a complete, full restore without your computer is a dealbreaker for getting an iPad.

  • Ordering iPhone 4G via the app - What happens after you agree to terms?

    I'm trying to order the iPhone 4G using the Apple Store app.
    After "I agree to the above terms" by switching the toggle to "YES", then nothing happens.
    What is the next step in ordering the iPhone 4G? Do you have to call Apple?

    They may no longer be taking pre-orders that way.
    The only way I know that is working is through Apple.com. AT&T is no longer accepting pre-orders through their sire either.
    Best way was always to go through Apple.com. All iPhones go through Apple's hands prior to it reaching AT&T anyway. You should get an Apple.com iPhone order quicker than an AT&T order for that reason. Apple has control of what goes where as far as inventory. I'm sure they'd rather have people mad at AT&T than at Apple themselves!

  • HT203167 What happens when you pay for a  movie rental on iTunes that does not play for more than a few seconds?

    I rented a movie but it only played for a couple of seconds and then it stopped and kicked me back to the iTunes rental page again. This is after I rented the movie earlier in the day on my iPad and discovered I could not play it back through my Apple TV. What do I do now? Do I keep trying to rent it again and again, each time incurring a new rental fee?

  • HT1449 This was somewhat informative, but what happens after you receive the  "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library,"? I ran through all the steps, received this message. Now

    tried to move my itunes library to an external to free up space and run itunes off of an external. Went through all the steps. Received the message "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library," like it mentioned I might, and here is where the instructions end. Now what?

  • What happens after you hit "publish"?

    Finished my site and got all the set up done to use ftp to publish to charter.net. After I hit the publish button it grayed out. Is there suppose to be a progress bar or any indication it is actually working? Waited 4 hours last night and publish button was still grayed out. Have waited 6 hours today...same thing. What do I do now?

    Thanks. I continued to look at the discussions and found something similar. Told me to go Home/Library and delete a couple of files. After a Restart when I went back to iWeb it worked quickly and well. Now published and just have a few quirks to figure out. Thanks.

  • What happens after you buy an iphone?

    Say i go into the apple store and buy an iphone, how will they make it so that i can text etc on it?

    They can sign you up with the supported wireless provider of your choice
    with the features you desire. Or you can purchase the iPhone outright and
    do the setup on your own with the provider of your choice.
    To get the subsidized price (if available where you are), you must either set up
    with a wireless provider at the Apple store or order the iPhone directly from your
    wireless provider.

  • What happens after you quit business, having upgraded programs you have licenses to?

    will the old lightroom work with the new catalogues, or database as a whole?

    Desktop tools, such as Adobe Acrobat® and Photoshop Lightroom®, continue to be available outside Creative Cloud, but desktop tools that were part of the Creative Suite family, as well as Adobe Muse™ CC and Edge Tools & Services, are now available only as part of Creative Cloud. Does that answer your question?

  • HT1677 What happens when you press "save" and the device won't save your settings?

    Today, I upgraded my ipod touch 4 gen to IOS 6.
    I just tried to save my settings under Safari, and I get an error message, "https://www.google.com Sorry, we failed to save your settings. Try again later."
    I tried most of the evening, and still the same error message...
    I've tried to "Google" the error message, there is NO match, lots of other stuff, but no match to my error message.
    Topbarhive

    Mor info on this issue, I can't disable the "Search History" (ie: check "Do not save searches") IF I try I get the error message...
    I seem to be able to disable the rest of the stuff, without the Search History checked "do not save searches" and save without the error.
    If I try to check only "do not save searches" it will give me the error.
    There must be something in IOS6 that I checked in someother place on my device that is causing my issue.
    BTW there is no option to "remove all website data" on my device, it just show a "grayed out" "0 bytes" beside the "term" Website Data.
    Thanks for helping me.

  • HT1766 what happens when you cannot remember your password to restore the backup?

    I am trying to update my iPhone and I cannot remember the password I used for my backup. How can I get round this please?

    You can't.  If you can't remember the password you can't use the backup.  If there were a way around this it would defeat the purpose of having password protection.

  • HT5312 what happens if you forget your security questions

    what happens if you dont know your security questions

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • What happens exactly when you turn off your Wi-Fi?

    I was wondering, for the sake of knowing it, what exactly happens when you turn off the Wi-Fi of a Mac? I normally turn it off before putting it to sleep, because there have been some ocassions where after waking up, the Wi-Fi is on but not working. So I was thinking, what exactly happens with the radio when the computer goes to sleep or it's turned off.
    * Is it bad to turn off "hard" your Wi-Fi?
    * Is it bad to keep turning on and off the Wi-Fi?
    I think that it may have to be something about a Wi-Fi service, but I simply don't know nor found any answer on the Internet.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mac Mini, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.10.3

    When your Mac goes to sleep, the wifi is automatically turned off. When you wake the Mac up, your wifi will turn back on and hopefully will reconnect a short time later.
    The purpose of Sleep is to save on energy, so wifi will be shutdown, as it is a significant energy drain.

  • What happens after 20 months of EDGE if no upgrade?

    What happens after 20 months of EDGE? Does the service discount remain if you don't upgrade to a new phone? Or does the service price increase even though you don't have an EDGE payment to end up the same amount anyway?

    mrhelper: What else do you know about he month2month discount? I'm currently on a similar edge program but with 2 lines. I still have about 16 more payments left on the edge phones, but I have no intention of upgrading or do another Edge program afterwards. I believe the Verizon Reps told me that I would indeed keep my $25 discount off the access lines when I originally signed up for it, but if that's not the case, where did you hear about that month2month program and what are the details of it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
