Why did my contract restart after I paid FULL price for a phone

A while back I added a line to my account for my son, I gave him one of my old Smart phones, galaxy S-III, I have never used an upgrade on that line ever. I Just pre-ordered the Samsung Edge, Paid FULL price on Verizon web site. I just looked and I seem to have a new 2 year contract on a line that didn't have ANY contract. Can any one explain this to me? If I cant pre-order a phone or buy a phone on the Verizon web site with out getting locked into a new 2 year contract then i'll order phone's else where.

Contact customer service. They can see the history of your line and see that the same device ID from your line is the one on your sons line. They will have a record of exactly how the transaction of the order was done online, including the amount paid at that time. they should be able to cancel the contract if you paid the $800 up front

  • 5 days ago I bought a 13" mac book air from an apple store.  It does NOT have Maverick on it!  I paid full price for it but since it has the old operating system-.I kind of feel like I purchased a "clearance" item but payed full price!  any advice?

    5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store.  It does not have Maverick on it!  I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it!  Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc.  This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest.  I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences?  Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't?  Thanks.

    There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
    Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
    You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
    There is no difference other than a 40 min. download.

  • Upgrading to 3Gs I paid full price for 3G one year ago

    I'm not sure I understand what the cost of upgrading would be for me. I paid the full price for the iPhone 3G last June because I was not eligible for an upgrade at that time. (I had a WiMo phone then)I did have to sign a new contract with the phone.
    My accounts says I am eligible for an iPhone upgrade on the 13th of June, but I don't know if this will mean a mid year contract price or not since I did not get a subsidized phone price last year.

    Because AT&T is the exclusive cellular provider for the iPhone in the U.S., and because of the subsidy you were provided for the phone you were using prior to purchasing the iPhone 3G.
    Before the iPhone 3GS was announced, AT&T's prices were as follows:
    The subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G was $199, and for the 16GB, $299.
    The non-subsidized price for the 8GB iPhone 3G was $399, and for the 16GB, $499.
    AT&T's no-contract price for the 8GB iPhone 3G is $599, and for the 16GB, $699.
    Both of these price options required a two year contract. This price was/is for existing subscribers who don't qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone. This ensures that AT&T recoups the subsidy they provided you for the phone you were using prior to purchasing the iPhone, but you will qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone much earlier in the new contract term.
    When you purchase the iPhone 3GS at AT&T's subsidized or discounted price, the same will apply if your iPhone 3GS is lost or stolen and you want to purchase a new iPhone 3GS before you qualify again for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price with a new phone.
    Next year at this time when Apple releases a new iPhone model, more than likely you will not qualify for AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the new iPhone or for any new phone at that time.

  • I bought an iphone 5s from the apple store and paid full price for it. (tmobile) and its LOCKED. how can i unlock it?

    this is outrageous. I bought a tmobile iphone from the store to use with my att (i didnt want a 2 year contract) and it ends up my sim cant be used. I paid 800 dollars for a phone i cant use? how am i supposed to fix this. please dont ask me to take it to a att store or apple store because i live nowhere near one. Also it even described the iphone 5s being unlocked.

    Buying an off-contract phone does not guarantee that it will be an unlocked iPhone.  You need to explicitly request it to be an unlocked iPhone when you purchase it.
    As KiltedTim suggests, try returning it to the store where you purchased it in exchange for an unlocked iPhone.  If that is not possible, you can try contactign T-Mobile to see what their policy for unlocking iPhones is, they may do that for you (but they may charge a fee too).

  • I paid full price for my unlocked phone to be able to use it when I travel overseas. Now I'm in Indonesia and I can't use my phone with local sim card. Why?

    As above.  This is really starting to **** me off.

    Perhaps you didn't a actually buy an "unlocked" iPhone, you just bought one "without contract" - they are both "full price".
    Where did you buy it?

  • Why did my plan change if I paid full retail price?

    I bought a new Samsung Note 4 on Saturday at the local Verizon Wireless store, paying full retail price to avoid needing to make any changes to my existing plan. However, I received a data usage alert 10 minutes after leaving the store as my plan was reset to 2GB. I was told by multiple service agents that an IPR was placed to reset my plan back to unlimited. How do I get an update on the status of that request? There is nowhere to check on the Verizon Wireless website from what I am seeing. Thank you.

        Congrats on your new device purchase carmencampise. I know how concerning it can be when you see your plan changes unexpectedly. If you purchased a new device at full retail, it should not have removed your unlimited data plan. I understand an inactive pricing request has already been filed. This is the correct step to readd your unlimited data plan back to your account. This process can take 5-7 business days to complete. Have you received an update on the request?
    Thank You,

  • HT4191 Why did my contacts disappear after syncing with 10.7 for the frist time and how do I get them back?

    It also apparently changed all the contacts on my computer. Now I have a only a portion of my contacts both on my PC and my iPod 4g with nothing to restore from. Thanks Apple! Hope you update your crap OS sometime soon. Maybe then my Messenger app will start working again. Maybe then I can use the app store again. Maybe then I can use a working map again. Maybe then I will start using my apple devices again.

    yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.

  • I paid full price for an outdated Imac. Anything I can do?

         I bought an Imac almost a month ago from a certified Apple retailer (connecting point), and it turns out they had outdated machines on their shelves. I paid the full 1200 dollars for the base model thinking that I would be buying the upgraded Imac (quadcore i5, updated graphics, etc), but it turns out that was not the case. I ended up walking out of their with the old Imac and not even realizing it until I got home and checked the specs. Everyone has refused to let me return it or do anything for me, including Apple Support. What can I do?

    This is a problem you need to resolve with the vendor.  Normally returns for replacements only apply within 14 days after purchase.

  • Why did my ringtones disappear after i sync my iphone4

    why did my ringtones disappear after i sync my iphone4.  I checked them in the 'tones' and clicked 'sync' and they are still not showing up on my phone???

    Make sure you have checked on your Device Settings > Sounds > Ringtones > they should appear under Ringtones categories and listed above the system ringtones that came with IOS.
    If you still don't find them, uncheck 'SYNC TONES', sync then re-check SYNC TONES and sync again.

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

    It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.
