I reserved a 4S tonight around 9PM to pick up at my local Apple store tomorrow. When I check the upgrade eligibility on Apple's site, it says I'm not eligible. However, I know that I am due for an upgrade as the Verizon website says so. Like the title says, I'm on a business account.
Has anyone else bought one from the Apple site or in store on a Verizon business account? Even when I go to purchase one online (just to see if it will work), I still get this after typing in my number, zip code, social and billing password:
"Your account is not eligible.
We're sorry. Your existing rate plan is not an eligible Verizon Wireless iPhone plan. You can proceed by activating a new Verizon Wireless account now or visit a Verizon Wireless store to keep your current phone number."
I'm not sure if that eligibility checker is geared towards individual or family plans or what. I just don't want to drive 40 minutes only to be told that I can't upgrade because their system says I can't, even though Verizon's system says I can. Any insight would be appreciated.
edit: I guess Apple stores don't do anything with business accounts. Darn, thought I was getting one tomorrow
