I have a Verizon and Boost Sim. Both are active. But when the iPhone edition releases. How can I preorder full price without upgrading or doing device payments ?
 
Typically the only model you can preorder without providing postpaid account info is T-Mobile. The T-Mobile iPhone 7 doesn't support CDMA so that could be the case with the new model. Other options are buying in store or waiting for the sim-free unlocked model.
 
If it's not an option then just finance it through verizon and after 1 billing cycle just pay the phone off in full, same difference.
 
I remember last year iphone 7 Release on apple.com preorder does
has option for buying and there are

1- Upgrading

2- Full Price

3- Apple financing

4- Apple Program >>> this one is same as att next monthly pay but it
not lock by any carrier , work like gsm sim any carrier

dont know this year they bring that way back or not
 
Last year you could pay full price unlocked. However, you had to provide your carrier info.

Demand will likely be so insanely high that the Only way to Pre-order will be. Via Apps because bots nowadays crash normal Carrier websites and retailers. Here's my plan which is likely to work Apple.com will crash immediately so will all retailers.

#1. Use The App of your choice Apple Store App or Best Buy App or any Carrier App. Because the vast majority of people will scramble to websites and crash them.
#2. If possible use an Apple device like an iPad while using the Apple Store App. Apple severs give this traffic an advantage.
#3. Have all your information credit card info address etc filled out way ahead of time.
#4. Make a purchase in advance that way you know all is working.
#5. Inform your credit card or Bank that you will be making a $1,000+ Purchase at Midnight so it doesn't get flagged or unauthorized as possible fraud. And they won't finalize the purchase until you call in by then it's too late.
#6. Have an extra item in your cart. Buy a cable or headphones just an extra bs item that sets your traffic apart from all the millions trying to buy 1 Phone. You will be prioritized possibly and check out faster. You can always return the bs filler item later.
#7. You have exactly 20 seconds to buy. If you want a Black 64GB At&t model or a White 128GB Verizon model which everyone you put in your cart first there's No going back or changing your mind. We have all had items in our cart only to go back and then that item is no longer available. You get one chance that's it.
#8. Pay In Full, don't bother trying to Pick a Contract or Pick a Plan you can always change that Later at the store once you have the Phone in hand. Just pick the right Carrier and GB size and checkout.
#9. Eligible Upgrade. IMO and likely carriers don't like people on eligible upgrades I've seen and experienced too many glitches caused on purpose when trying to go through Eligible Upgrades I think Carriers glitch out or causes errors on purpose because what they really want are new Subscribers. Again even if it an eligible upgrade just follow step #8. You can always change things at the store.
#10. You must be Logged in well in advance don't think you can Log in at 12:00 you have to have all your information in and ready Days in advance. Then Log On to your App of choice maybe even multiple ones at least by 11pm.
