Haha I have to same issue!! And I'm going to be charged double since I'm paying off the remainder of my 50% of my current phones

I was told that since it hasn't been actually charged yet the "payoff" won't happen on the order... I don't believe that so I am going to call so I don't get charged.
 
For clarification what I was told is true if you pay your bill before they charge for the order.
 
I tried to ask about it also but got no where

I explained it and managed to maybe get a glimmer of understanding from the first person but the second one seemed to either understand me or was decent at pretending so who knows. Either way I'm only going to pay off 50% of this phone... not a penny more

Same here. My theory has been this whole time, the minute I pay the bill ours will ship..
 
But my thought was this and it could be flawed but (I'm a software developer) so this is how I would design the system.

Since one variable of the pre-order is that the user needs to be at 50% I would look at if they owe anything to get to 50% when the order is placed and give them an estimate at the time of order which obviously they do. However since I want to make sure the correct amount is charged I would double check that pay off amount before actually charging. To me this would benefit VZW in case someone got a credit on a prior payment therefore lowering the amount paid on the plan or benefit the customer by not over charging. It's Saturday night and I'm a couple beers in so if that didn't make any sense have a couple beers and re-read.

That's why I paid immediately. We will see if their system does what I hope it will do in which case when it charges I won't have to call and fight them for a credit. Considering it is VZW I am sure I'll have to call.
