My main concern with verizon to kill..

[phantom phenom]

the one year contract ??

I hope not!

 

[phantom phenom]

it's pretty much confirm that Verizon is not offering one year contract anymore.

see Iphone 4 require 2 years contract agreement for 199 16 gb/299 32 gb or full retail

bye bye verizon

 

[rsarno]

they already said no more NE2 and no more $100 rebate either.

I would love to see where you are getting your information about Verizon doing away with one year contracts.

Verizon Changing Upgrade Policy, Say Bye Bye to 1-year Upgrades - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

According to new Verizon training slides, the 1-year upgrade option that many of us have enjoyed for years is going away starting January 16th. Customers on 2-year contracts will now have to wait until the 20th month of their deal to even begin to think about upgrading. Talk about depressing. We live in a time when phones become almost obsolete just months after they are released and having to wait at least 20 months for the option to upgrade is a giant step in the wrong direction. It should be noted that 1-year contracts are not affected, so that becomes option number 1 for those of us addicted to new technology. When your current contract is up, you might want to consider going with a 1 year plan and forking out the extra $50-100 on the phone or you’ll be stuck for 2 years. [Insert sad face]
The good news is, we’ll be at CES all week and will have plenty of opportunities to drill VZW reps on this subject.

Did you even bother reading that?
"It should be noted that 1-year contracts are not affected, so that becomes option number 1 for those of us addicted to new technology."

All this is saying is that people on 2 year contracts will no longer be able to do an annual upgrade like they were previously allowed to do. All you have to do is switch to a one year contract and pay a little more for your phone up front and you can continue to upgrade every 10 months.

Ahh shit sorry i just re-read the OP, i thought we were talking about the NE2 and the $100 rebate

I guess I never understood the NE2 thing. I mean, after two years, I'm out from my contract, so I can just go and get the "New 2 year contract price" on a phone if I extend my contract.

Did NE2 not cause a 2-year extension on the contract?

NE2 gives the primary line a discount on the new phone, and can be used at the 20 month mark.

No problem. I thought you guys had a link saying Verizon wasn't going to do one year contracts anymore. I was about ready to pay my ETF and find a new carrier.

No, it's not pretty much confirmed. Everything that's leaked out thus far explicitly references the continued offering of one year contracts.

As I've stated in other threads, One-Year contract pricing is still here. One-year pricing has not been announced for the iPhones yet, and probably won't be until they go on sale. If it's like the other smartphones, it will be 70.00 more for the one-year contract.
