I tired to do that a while back and Verizon said they can't do early upgrades for iPhones per apple's request. But it never hurts to call and ask. Verizon cs people are usually pretty cool.
Yeah. I forgot to mention that I want to try the "Verizon Loophole" to keep my Unlimited Data Plan that I have now. I have 1 phone lines, my dad's phone, that's a "dummy" phone that has the upgrade eligible on 12/02/12. I want to upgrade his line to iPhone 5, order it, have to put a data plan on his number, have the iPhone 5 shipped to me, go to Verizon to activate new phone under my phone number and put his dummy phone back on his number, and remove the data plan from his number. Anyone know if this will work?
I'll try calling them tomorrow to see if they can do an early upgrade since it's not an Apple to Apple upgrade, technically.
