I've been with Verizon almost 2 years, I was 2 months away from my New Every Two upgrade discount. I was told at that time, you get about 50-100 dollors off a new phone depending on the phone.
I was 2 months shy, and they didn't want to cut any deals and I needed two new phones.
So, I when to the ipod site, added up the cost of a new ipodx2 (200$), first month plan (~200$) and cancelling verizon (~200$), total of ~600$.
To buy two new incredibles, it was going to run $1000+, they retail for ~$500.
So, I called their 800 number, and told the first guy, I need two phones today, I can cancel Verizon and get two iPhones for half the price of two new incridibles. He tried for about 30 mins to talk me out of it.
verizon might get the iphone, he said.
They've been saying that since the iPhone came out, I told him, plus it dosn't get me a phone today.
Our network is better, said verizon.
downloading youtube clips 5 seconds faster doesn't matter much to me, and I spend 99.999999% of my time in major cities, AND that dosn't get me a phone today, I told him.
We've got 4g LTE coming soon, said verizon.
Its not true 4g and won't be in my market for another year, and I need a phone today, I said.
well, maybe... let me... ummm...
then they transfered me to another person, when through the same deal, then a third person, went through the same blah blah. "Let me put you on hold," she said. When she came back she said, "we can do it."
So, I got two new incredibles, for $400, with a $100 mail in rebate on both, so really 100 a piece, 2 months before my new every two date.
