So if I still owe a lot on my 6s Plus can I take advantage of this? Or is it only if it's paid off?

Any reason why DPP is better vs 2 Year contracts?

I did the math and DPP saves me a few bucks. Also, you're not committed to VZW.

But not any big reasons. But seems it's required for this promo.

Hmm interesting. Wonder how this will work. They send you the iPhone 7 and you have to send them your trade in phone?
 
I wonder if they allow you to pay it off at any time, and if you're able to join their annual upgrade program.
 
This means you pay $650 up front and get a $27 bill credit for 2 years......

"$649.99 device payment purchase req’d. Less $649.99 trade-in credit applied to account over 24 mos; credit begins in 2-3 bill cycles & ends when balance paid"
 
So ****ing confusing. I'll just stick with the reliable 2-year discounted pricing.

You don't pay anything up front with DPP, the cost is split up across 24 months.

Again, there's nothing that you pay up front with DPP, that's the whole point of it, you pay monthly.

So then how would they know you will trade a phone in...seems foolish for them not to charge you before obtaining your trade in.

Can the device be financed? Or just a lump sum payment ?

I understand DPP. The offer for the free phone is different. Read the disclaimer....

$649.99 device payment purchase req’d. Less $649.99 trade-in credit applied to account over 24 mos; credit begins in 2-3 bill cycles & ends when balance paid; 0% APR. Line must be active for 2 yrs. for full credit.


1. $649 device payment required
2. Less $649 Credit
3. Applied to account....over 24 months.....
4. Credit begins in 2-3 months
5. Line must be active for 2 years for full credit...
 
So maybe this is the time to switch away from the old 2-years contract plan?

Under the old plan I pay $40 (line access fee), then I can do the trade in and get a phone for cheap.
But with the new plan I only pay $20 (line access fee), then I can still do the trade in?

Looks like a $20/month saving? Am I missing something?

Correct. When you do 2 year plan you pay $40/mo line fee. On the payment plan it's $20/mo.

I think this means that you must purchase a device that costs a minimum of $649. There wouldn't be a need for "0% APR" if you had to pay upfront.

I see, I was going to keep going with the same old 2-years contract just to get the iPhone 7 for $299. But this trade-in deal looks even more attractive. Although this feel a bit too good to be true...haha.

That wouldn't really make it DPP at all. The available information so far don't seem to lay out all the details and how it will work all that well. Hopefully more will come to light about it to explain it better.
