Macaroni Surprise posted:Is there something I can print out to show this to a sales rep? I'm pretty much sold on the droid turbo, and my current droid bionic has a trade in value of... 6 bucks. Oh believe me, if it is something that will increase a rep's chance of getting you an upgrade, they will be allll about it (and probably know it already).

jackpot posted:Yeah, I'm not even mad at this point, I'm more in awe. I'm actually holding out hope that this is some kind of weird billing thing that'll unfuck itself when my second bill comes around. I have no reason to be optimistic, it's just..wow. If these things are really chewing through that much more data then I sincerely feel bad for you guys on the front lines. I missed some info here. Is this a new account? If so, your data is prorated. So if you have a 2gb plan and your new plan chose a cycle date that puts you 1/2 way through your plan, you'd only get 1gb for that first...half month until your next bill cycle. If they are new phones, it will generally slow down. People go crazy on their new phones. If it is none of the above, I would verify/alter all app settings. Edit: gently caress double post.

FordPRefectLL posted:Looks like Verizon is guaranteeing at least $100 for a trade in when you trade in your old phone for a Droid Turbo on a 2 yr or Edge. Gonna activate my stupid Galaxy Nexus before I go buy mine tomorrow. Well, poo poo. I had planned to just buy one outright, but this might be work looking into. Looking on the website, it says customers of 7+ months must have good payment history for the last 6 months. I've been a month behind for, like, two years, but I've never missed a payment or had my service suspended. Would that be an issue? (Typing this makes me guess I should go ahead and pay up to current, since I'm finally in a financial place that I can; I just haven't been in a situation to do so until a few months ago)

My current phone has a micro sim card and the Moto X I just ordered from Moto Maker supposedly has a nano-sim pre-installed. Can I activate the nano-sim over the air or will I need to bring it into a Verizon store to get it activated?

(Typing this makes me guess I should go ahead and pay up to current, since I'm finally in a financial place that I can; I just haven't been in a situation to do so until a few months ago) What usually disqualifies people from Edge is having their line put on hotline, where outgoing calls get forwarded to financial services. So if that's not happened in the last 6 months, you could do it, though your bill would need to be current at the time of the order.

Congrats, you ripped off verizon big time. LEGIT. Edit: PS. Pretty much everyone qualifies for early edge with the Turbo. So the Turbo is probably the best Android right now. I saw someone a few months into a 2 year contract who qualified for Early Edge for the Turbo. Think about that. Favorabilis Solitud fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Oct 31, 2014 |

gently caress retail...but gently caress call centers. I think Indirects are happier but when I go into a indirect store it is old stuff and a lot of empty space. So I don't know if that makes the job harder.

Did you apply the $200 credit to the purchase of the Turbo? I thought the website said they gave you a gift card after you made the purchase. Here's the bit I saw from the website: quote:

So I don't know if that makes the job harder. I'm indirect in a relatively small city. One thing that's annoying is that a lot of promos verizon advertises, we dont do. Like when the iPhone 6 came out, people wanted to trade in their phones for it, and I hate exclaiming they actually you pay for it all that day, and eventually get the money back. Any kind of half off deal or sale Verizon does, we do mail in rebates, which people hate. But I think it'd be harder at a corporate. My quota isn't soul destroying, so I never feel the need to screw the customer for a sale.

When renewing a contract to get a new phone, does Verizon let you do a payment plan or do they want the full subdidized price up front?

You can bill the cost to your account, assuming good payment history, but it'll still be the full 2-year price. So you might not have to pay it up front, but it'll be due as one lump sum regardless.

How much data do you have bryn987? If you're over 10GB, it's probably cost effective to do Edge instead. Even with the $15 discount per month on Edge you'd essentially be paying the $200 over 24 months if you did it that way too, if you're getting a phone that costs about that much.

So wait. Early Edge Up? I had to go on Edge earlier this year because my piece of poo poo Note 2 stopped recognizing SIM cards (on completely unmodified software), and while I like my One M8, the lackluster camera and seemingly awful battery life are just not doing it for me. Would I be potentially eligible for the Turbo? Am I reading that correctly? Both of the issues I'm having with my phone started well after the return period, else I would have gotten something else.

Does the phone I trade in to Early Edge Up have to be the smartphone I bought when I started my two-year contract, or can it be just any smartphone? I can activate it as my primary phone and then trade it in if that works.

So, I bought the droid turbo yesterday for full price with 14 months into contract and today verizon sent me a text saying I get 6GB/month for the same price I was paying for 3GB/month. Obviously replied yes and it went effective immediately. Is this a coincidence or something more?

I can activate it as my primary phone and then trade it in if that works. I was told that it has to be the phone your contract was on in order to get the early upgrade. So I burned my wife's upgrade and traded in a blackberry pearl for $100 off the $249 price. I didn't get the free $100 in accessories like FordPRefectLL did, but I am still happy as hell. I will be selling my mint condition MAXX (warranty replacement from one month ago) soon on SA Mart, PM if you are interested. e: I forgot, the guy who sold me mine said there were new data plan prices starting tomorrow.

I'm not aware of anything on the smaller plans, I'd call in to customer service or go to a store.

Now, it has to be the phone that was on the line when the promotion pops up. Protocol7 posted:So wait. Early Edge Up?

Would I be potentially eligible for the Turbo? Am I reading that correctly? You can early edge to a turbo, yes, if your eligible, which is pretty much a "call in or go to a store to find out" thing. Know this, it works by canceling your contract, so to avoid a fee you trade in your smartphone. Know this, it has to be in working condition. You trade in a hosed up phone, expect a fee, but please don't ask me what the fee is. And yes, starting tomorrow, new port-ins from other carriers get a $150 bill credit in a few bill cycles. You can get 10 gigs for $80, or 15 gigs for $100. Existing customers call in or go to a store. A few other things I can't remember.
