My contract isn't up until July which means the the iPhone would cost around $600-800 for me. If I pay the $150 termination fee can I get the iPhone at the new 2 year contract price?
I'd be losing my number? I mean I hate how you have to wait TWO years just for an upgrade. It's ridiculous.I believe that Both AT&T and Verizon both make you wait 30 days after canceling your service to re-sign up with them again, and by canceling your contract, you will be losing your number.
That's most likely what I'll be doing but it's 7 months and I'm an incredibly impatient person.Why not just wait until July? It's not that far out. If you purchase now by paying a higher price, you'll be disappointed when/if a new iphone model comes out in July when your contract will be up.

Seriously, can you not wait 6 months?
You'll lose your number and be unable to sign a contract for at least 30 days. You're also forgetting that you will lose any customer history and will pay an activation fee, as well as any other applicable "new account" fees.

Unfortunately, I'm all too familiar. It can generally be summed up with one or more of the following:You must not be familiar with the iPhone forum.

"OMG WHEN IS <mobile provider> GETTING THE iPHONE???"
"I'M SO MAD ABOUT SOMETHING INCONSEQUENTIAL!!!"
"I NEED A WAY TO CHEAT OR SCAM THE SYSTEM AND SCREW OVER EVERYBODY ELSE WHO USES MY MOBILE PROVIDER!!!"
"I OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHAT THE NEXT IPHONE SHOULD BE AND APPLE IS SO DUMB FOR NOT DOING THIS!!!"
"WHEN IS THE NEW iPHONE GOING TO BE OUT EVEN THOUGH THE PAST 4 ITERATIONS HAVE ALL BEEN IN JUNE???"

What makes it ridiculous? They are selling you a $650 phone for $299 in exchange for monthly fees for 2 years to cover that extra $350. You are basically paying the price of the phone over 2 years instead of up-front.
If they made it one year your monthly costs would go up and I don't think anybody wants higher monthly fees and from what I understand you can pay Verizon an extra $70 to get it on a one year upgrade cycle.
On the flip side, shouldn't they then lower your monthly payments once your contract is up and you've paid back the subsidy? Also if you pay full price on your phone and sign up without contract?

Yes, the world is coming to an end to op because he cannot get a discount on his iphone. Break the contract and get new number.
Or wait.
