Phone Issue/Early Upgrade

[IA8SNJ]

I am with you on that. I am in a similar situation. I am 2 months away from an upgrade and have 4 phones, internet, cable and home phone with Verizon. It is about 6,000 a year that i pay to verizon with services, devices and accessories. I am happy with my service, I know it is not the least expensive, but it is good. I was on the phone with a rep and supervisor for an hour today and they said they cant help. The cant even move it up 6 weeks, or even 4 weeks. I think That is insane. I am planning on switching to ATT when my contract is up then. At least I can surf and talk. I dont know why there are so many people on here that are disagreeing with you.

Well, in the 1st place your upgrade is ALREADY 4 months early(at the 20 month point of a 24 month contract).

Say they move it up another 6 weeks like you want(1.5 months additional to be at the 18.5 month point of a 24 month contract). Next time you want an upgrade, you will go in and tell them "I got an upgrade at 18.5 months of a 24 month contract last time, any chance you can push my upgrade date up another 1.5 months?" Now you will be at 17 months of a 24 month contract. It doesn't matter how much they give you, people will always want more!

And millions of others will want the same treatment.

thats because apple didnt build it to do it

[IA8SNJ]

and so what? Who cares if people get better treatment? do they all pay 435 per month to verizon? You sound like a Verizon agent. I bet your a republican to

[IA8SNJ]

It works on AT&T

[mdram4x4]

no verizon reps here

just capitalists and people that belive in honoring a contract they signed
