yea saw the commercial. thanks!

 

I missed the commercial. I bought my eris less than 30 days ago. I did the instore deal I got it for free also, I just have to send in the rebate. So how do I get another Eris? With the service I have, I am eligable for the new every 2.... evey year.

 

THANK YOU for the info. Although I didn't get a credit for my phone (which I had paid $49.99 for) I did get a $99 credit for my husband's phone.

The service person told me there was no planned date for the upgrade to 2.0. Hopefully she is wrong!

 

the deal is cool. i dont want to do it because I dont want to add another line but that's the deal. You can get a free phone as long as you add another line to your plan. I just got off the phone with VZN

 

My wife and I just renewed about a month ago...she was a little bit before me. I waited for the Eris and she went with the Storm. She hated it as I thought she would. I called Verizon this morning and she will be getting the Eris because of the BOGO! Hopefully she likes it as much as I like mine.

 

Ok what number are you guys calling for this. I just tried consumer sales and they flat out turned me down, maybe its the CSR I received?

 

I just called *611 from my phone. The CSR I talked to said he had to verify if it was retroactive, put me on hold for about 2 minutes, and then came back and said we were good to go.

 

This sounds like a crock to me.

 

I called and unfortunately my wife isnt eligible for an upgrade til 2/2010 and the CSR wouldnt push the date any further than 1/2010...

 

Even if this could be confirmed, I'm sure they're not going to let you walk out of the store with a new Eris without it being binded to a damn contract.

 

The deal ends on Monday. It is definaltely legit. Call them yourself.

However, you have to add a new line to your plan and have the second Eris activated with a Data Plan. I asked all the questions.

But if you're ready to activate another line, you can definately get a second phone for free. The promotion ends Monday.

 

On the phone is VZW *611 right now.

It is retro active (purchased 11/12) and since I have a line eligible for the new every 2 it is being shipped today. Without an eligible line, you need to activate a new line in order to get the free phone.

Since the line did not have a smartphone plan, we are placing that on to the account right now.

Sweet, that saves me a christmas gift

Edit - They do charge $100 to the account which is reimbursed through a mail in rebate.

 

wow its gonna be so many more people coming to the block (forum).
just hope we get some smart people....
i cant be the only genius here (joke lol)

 

That's exactly what I thought. So it's not exactly free, now is it?

 

lol yea I guess...

I mean, the 'device' is free but the service of course is not. I was hoping I could just get a second device and have it as a spare, gift it, or sell it! lol........of course not though...................silly me!

 

The promo is listed on the VZwireless website under holiday offers

 

Bastards!

 

The phone would be great for me, to sell on eBay.
I knew it was like that though, so we were joking.

 

absolutely! just havin fun. I mean, seriously....I would have sold it...........

So I called right away! Im not married, but i have asked my girl numerous times if she wanted an eris. I want her to have one but she just dosnt want one.............so i would either keep it incase mine broke or sell it

lol but since we all have at least a bit of common sense, I think we all know you need to add service to it. But it was worth calling and asking
