how do i order the iphone 5 at full price? i'm with verizon, and want to keep my unlimited data.

i went to verizon website and apple.com website and there's no option to let me buy it full price outright?

Select "month to month" in the drop-down box on the device list on Verizon's website.
 
buy it as if you're eligable for the subsidy on apple's website. They'll do a line check and they'll ask you if you wan to pay 650 750 850 for the unsubbed phone.
 
maybe it's just me, but i tried verizon and apple and both are asking me to select a data plan... which i dont want. i just want to buy the iphone 5. and apple said this on the website:

"If you want to keep your current Verizon Unlimited data plan, you will need to purchase a full-priced iPhone at an Apple Retail Store. If you use your upgrade eligibility to purchase a new iPhone, two options are available. You can either select a different data plan on the next page, or one of the new Share Everything plans shown below."
 
For use on what carrier?

for verizon. yeah i just dont see the option to order it full price without forcing me to select a limited data plan. i want to keep my unlimited. and i also selected the "month to month" option in verizon website, still it forces to select a data plan.

Not sure how it is for you, but for me there was an option to maintain the existing $29.99 unlimited data plan below the usual options and right under the $30.00 2GB option lol. Tough choice!

I didn't have that option under my account. Also make sure that after you place a phone order you carefully check your features to make sure they haven't switched anything on you . Good luck
