Speaking of which:

You want me to call you tomorrow and process this for you ? If so PM me your name and number. FYI I can’t call right at 8, I have a few appointments already, but within the first few hours probably.

To confirm: as long as your phone has no damage and it’s the same model and storage size i shoulld be able to do it fine. Tbh you probably can’t do it online, the system will likely keep freaking out.

Reminder that early upgrade means you can continue to trade up every 12 months, but you get that promo instead of a trade in promo. I figure you know this, but just letting you know.



Reminder for you and everyone : what you pay on an order is sales tax and $35 upgrade fee. I’m sure everyone assumes this, but I absolutely cannot waive any fees or charges.

I think I'm going to try Best Buy in the morning because their system seems to be recognizing the balance due and letting me attempt checkout (on something other than a 13 of course) but I'll go ahead and shoot you my info just in case. I'll follow up with another PM in the morning to let you know if things work as expected from somewhere other than Verizon directly. Understood on the promo and price. I also think I'm like $30-50 short on my 50% for early upgrade so I'll have to factor that in too.

For anyone here, once it gets to Friday morning I will be too busy to check the thread, but if you PK me it dings my cell and I see it.

This is iPhone launch #11 for me , so I am both old, and for what it’s worth this is still fun. Gonna be an interesting day.

Oh hey, we just got the release code for the wife's work phone. Looks like it's good for a month, I'll check back next week about when to call. Timing it with the iphone release is something all right. They're also making her go to the office, so it's just sunshine all around!

I'm hoping so, I still like my Pixel 4XL but the lack of a fingerprint reader is annoying with the mask mandate. Don't get me wrong, I am pro mask but I miss my fingerprint reader on the 2 XL

Thanks Duckman2008, with your link, we were able to get 256 GB graphite 13 pros that will be here next Friday.

I absolutely did not plan on getting a new phone this year (just got a new battery back in February) but getting $800 for a 4 year old phone that I paid $1,000 for made it really hard to not upgrade.

You are not not kidding on it being a good deal. Man, I did literally 30-38% more volume in my shift today than a normal day (and that does not include any referral links, I can’t see those yet). And to be blunt I’m already a pretty top sales person. Absolute crazy day.

Sales center had 1,400ish customers waiting on hold at one point , and probably every single person was working today.


Promo is going for hopefully all month, although I could see them pulling it early with how many people are taking the promo. For anyone wanting to upgrade, now is a good time.

Sorry if this has been answered. If I buy the iPhone 13 Pro outright and trade in an iPhone 11 Pro. That $1000 will just be credited to my account balance monthly?

Also, my Aunt is on the 55+ unlimited plan, is she eligible for the promotion?

Thanks!

To be technical, it’s not outright, you finance $1000 over 24 months and get a credit of $1000 over 24 months. Must be on premium unlimited.

Your aunt on her current one likely is not, but there is an updated version she can *usually* move to. It sometimes is the same price, sometimes it’s $10-20 more.

PM if you have questions, want a referral code or want me to help you order directly.

Just ported in a number and brought an old device (an iPhone 11) for a new line. My read is that I should be eligible for the $500 rebate but the app says I'm only eligible for the $350 one. Is Start Unlimited not eligible for the larger rebate? (The only fine print I can find just says "a consumer Unlimited plan.") If I should be eligible for $500, what's the right escalation path to get my account fixed to reflect that?

Has anyone else had their delivery date change?

Checked on Monday and the app said Delivery Date of September 24th. Today, it says that delivery date will be updated soon.

We have not gotten any emails since our receipts for orders last week and it has not told us that it has shipped. Also, we noticed that one says that it was ordered on the 17th and one on the 18th but we ordered them both on the same night (15 minutes after each other).

Start unlimited gets $350, to get $500 it has to be play more or do more.

If you move it up to play more, then file for the $500 (care can file a ticket if need be), if not file for the $350.

I mean, I’ve spent the past 1-2 weeks being confident on the accuracy of Verizon shipping , and it’s still “hold onto your butts” for me too waiting to see if everything ships on time.


For others that is. As always, I can’t order the phone until probably November (I have made peace with this, it’s fine).

They emailed mine Sunday. Hold onto your butt, I guess!

Somewhat more interesting is it seems they're shipping "with" virtual SIMs now, and I missed Apple saying iPhones 13 can use two virtual SIMs, which is good to know. (I was going to ask about getting a physical SIM in case I go international, but I guess I won't need it!)

The $500 can only be used to pay off existing charges on your old line right? So if you own the phone free and clear and aren’t locked into anything that would have an ETF, you wouldn’t get anything?

e: I think I'm wrong because the fine print doesn't indicate any such restriction. I just switched and pre-ordered an iPhone at Costco because they had a $350 switching promo and I would get 5% off the purchase price of the iPhone 13 Pro and waived activation fee. Now it looks like I may have hosed up and passed up $70 and wasted 45 min, with the additional annoyance that I have to go to Costco to pick up the phone, which won't arrive until 10/8. I didn't even get to give Duckman a referral after all his help. I should've just done in-store port and purchase on Friday. :(

Well, fyi , the other poster was asking about a $500 BYOD switcher , which is different than buying a new phone.

I legit can’t speak for Costco promos, but they usually are pretty good and comparable, so as a fellow Costco member , I can’t blame you at all for looking at it.


My policy here remains the same: I give out whatever info I can to help whether you “buy” through me or not. No one here is obligated to go through me, and if you get a better deal elsewhere, like , absolutely do that. On the other side, I do get referrals through here, so the basic answer is that it works out and I am for sure taken care of (but thank you for the concern). I’ve processed about 105ish devices in 47ish hours, so the real answer Is I will and want to help anyone I can, but one missing referral will not kill me.


Anyway , for your scenario , I legit don’t quite follow the scenario with Costco, but for real, if they are giving you an extra $350 that’s cool, i don’t think Verizon direct has that.

The $350 was also BYOD switcher promotion so I completed the port-in, then they did the pre-order/$800 trade-in promotion.

When I went to a Verizon corporate store earlier this week, they implied the $500 BYOD switch wouldn't stack with the trade-in promotion, which is why I went with Costco since it stacks (in theory).

If nothing else, when I upgrade in 24 months, I can do the pre-order through you. :cheers:

Ahhhh I follow.

I’m big on being real, just fyi you almost def will not get both the $350 / $500 BYOD and the $800 trade in. Likely what will happen is the $800 will get approved , and then the $350 will just come back not eligible. Because the terms of the $350 is you have to keep the same device on the plan for minimum 45 days , so getting a 13 is gonna kill it.

The Verizon store was right is what I’m saying, and will likely stay right.


To be clear, I’m not here to judge anyone trying to get extra discounts. That said , I def will not be able to help on any issues of getting said double promos. But, anything that is a legitimate issue, for anyone here, let me know and I will try to help.
