I can't figure this out for the life of me. All this financing crap confuses me. It's saying with a 64 GB 6S + my monthly installments would be $35.41, but my monthly bill will be $150.38 just for that line alone. That's almost what I'm paying currently for 2 lines ($189). There is no option to change plans. Maybe I just don't understand how the payments work?
Got a tip for us?

That's if you sign up for one of the new plans. If you have an older plan like a More Everything, you can sill go the 2 year route. It actually gave me the option when checking out, but I went with DPP anyway.
Yes. Painless. First time I can pre-order a VZW iPhone from Apple. Odered 2 iPhones. And I get to keep UDP on both.
When you go to verify your eligibility you can type in the number that has the upgrade.
I had the same problem. I ended up ordering through the Apple app and was able to keep my unlimited that way.
You just need to call them. I called the other day to figure out differences and the new plan will save me money so I went with it. They can also apply the plan retroactively for the month.
I got confused as well. I went for it anyway and made sure to take a copy of the DPP agreement document which states the payment of $39 a month. Didn't change my plan at all.
Did 64 Rose Gold iPhone 6S through Verizon. They said I'll get $300 for my 5S, but I don't believe them. The phone is in perfect working order, no dings, great screen, etc. But it has a few scuffs on the aluminum back. Still, I'd be happy with at least $200. Does anyone have experience with trading in an iPhone to Verizon?

Same, that's why I opted to reserve it in store instead. Don't want to risk just throwing away $40.
Also screw Best Buy for raising the prices on the iPhone 6s.
Got my confirmation email for a 128GB Gold iPhone 6 Plus at 3:04 CDT! I'm moving from a 6 to a 6 Plus, so I hope it doesn't end up being too difficult to get used to. I ordered my 5S from Apple when they went up because I had heard such bad things about carriers, but I ordered from the carrier directly this time and had no issue. I guess ship date delays could still cause problems in the future, but we'll have to wait and see on that, I guess.
it doesnt let me. I cant edit that field at all. Only the zip code and last 4 of my SS
Was able to order about 5 mins earlier than expected. A bit of a pleasant surprise and their website didn't seem to get hammered like I thought it would.
One thing that worried me was that my line access discounts didn't show at checkout. I have $25 discount per line(for being on the edge plan) but didn't register at checkout for some reason. Anyone run into this? Wondering if they're taking away the line discount now with a new device purchase for some reason? Called Verizon and was on hold for 30mins so just placed the order and figured I will give them a call tomorrow when it isn't so busy haha
I choose to purchase with the 2yr payment plan.

The app on my iPad lets me enter the right number but then it says VZW may require a deposit and I cant do anything from there. It doesnt give me the option to replace on my Verizon acct like the app on my phone does
Ok. Thanks guys I was making sure this was normal when ordering at full price.. Hopefully they wont charge the $40.00 activation fee.
Do you typically just do a SIM swap or use the SIM which arrives in the phone?

go back and choose updating another line on the account. But you will have to be the account holder.
I got the same issue, my line discount didn't show up at checkout but I figured it was just a glitch so I proceeded with my pre-order. I will be calling them as well.
Completed my order without issue at around 3:10AM EST. 64GB 6S in silver and delivering on 9/25. I paid outright because I'm not eligible for upgrade pricing until September 25th of next year, but during the checkout process I got this message:
What does this mean? I assume it's their obligation to say, "Hey you still gotta pay Verizon monthly for the remainder of your contract." But later in the process it mentioned something about a $40 upgrade fee. Did I just use my upgrade or does Verizon hit you up for an additional $40 if you buy a device outright?

You have to user you billing password which is not the same as your verizon site password.
It doesnt let me choose another line. Its like my number its pre loaded into that field and I cant erase it
