Carrier Verizon offering iPhone 7 for $0 with trade-in

Talked to 2 different reps today and got the same answers from both.
  • Ordered a 128GB iPhone 7. It will arrive on 9/23.
  • When the iPhone 7 gets here, I'll go to: https://www.verizonwireless.com/device-recycle/
  • There, I'll initiate the return of my 16GB iPhone 6 for $650
  • This will cover all but $4 of the DPP on my bill.
Not bad, VZW.
That's a great deal for sure. Did you have to do anything to sign up for the trade in deal or is it just automatic when you buy a 7 or 7 Plus? And is there anywhere I can check to see if I am eligible for that trade in (if it's not automatic), I already ordered a 128GB 7 Plus.
Also, people are saying they can see shipping dates on their orders, all I see on mine is processing....am I missing something or is my order just behind?

I was worried about that, but I was repeatedly assured by multiple reps that it's less of a "redeemable deal" than just the promotion that they're running. You get a 7, return an eligible device, and you get the promotion. I got the distinct impression that it was more or less automatic.

Everyone worried about cancelling orders, reordering etc., is worried about nothing. Just return the eligible device, and you'll get the promotion.

Cool, I will do that for sure. Now just have to figure out if I will get mine on launch day or not. If not, I'll go to the store on launch.
 
Weird, the silver Plus model on Verizon website says: Delivers 23rd but my email says by October 5th.

I'm hoping that all the pre order estimates are just place holders and are a bit crazy right now, and that as launch day approaches the dates will even out and many of us will get our iPhone 7's and 7 Plus's on launch. That's what I'm hoping anyway!

You can see the shipping date depending on the browser. I'm able to see it in Chrome browser in windows 10.
I wasn't able to see it in another browser but forgot which one.
 
Grr The Tele-Sales person at Verizon screwed my order big time, Now I am stuck cancelling my order and re-ordering since they did not apply the 650 trade in deal on 2 of my lines.

I don't there's a deal to apply. Simply return your current devices when you receive your new phones. You should get the $650 credit for the returns.
 
I got my order in at 12:30am PST for a 128GB black Plus. I never received an email confirmation, though when I log into the VZW website or app It shows my order as processing. Seems like it shouldn't still be processing based on when I ordered it. Haven't gone through all the posts in this thread, though anyone else not receive a confirmation and still having their order processing?

Mine is still processing. Only thing that got sent out was the trade in box for my old phone.
 
For people who missed taking the trade in offer while ordering, per the Verizon rep I talked to, I should initiate the trade in after I get and activate my device. At this point the system will apparently recognize that I have bought an iPhone 7+ during the promo period and give me a valid trade in price of $650. I am not sure if this is what others are hearing. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is going to work. I am attaching the chat log to this post.
That's precisely what I was told by 2 reps.

I received an email confirmation in less than a minute.

It'll be "processing" until it's shipped, I'm fairly sure. Just the name of this step.

Not what the customer service respective and the people at my local store told me, since two of my lines were on edge and both lines had a balance left on it. I was not told to pay off the balance up front before I did the upgrade.

Ah, remaining balances. Yeah, completely different situation. I've never been on a DPP and was not under a contract.
 
Could you buy the iPhone 8 once it comes out while keeping the 7 (and the payment plan) while switching your number over to the 8? If they will give me 400 for my old 5 it actually makes sense to buy the 7 even if I can't sell it for 2 years. Use it for one year, buy the 8 (if its what its rumored to be) keep the 7 as a backup while its paid off, and then sell it at the 2 year mark. If I can get around 400 for it at that time its effectively been a free phone.

I haven't either

I just wonder how they will handle mine...potentially switching trade in devices.

One of my lines had just gone out of contract but my other two lines were still on Edge and had a remaining balance so I had to pay those off but the Tele-Sales person did not tell me that.
 
What about a line that's a year into a 2 year contract? Can I switch the line to the DPP while just paying the extra $20 for the access fee until Im out of contract? Thanks
 
What did everyone's order say for monthly line fee? Under edge (which I have paid off several months ago), I paid $15 per month for each line. My order today with the $650 credit says the monthly line fee is $40. I bought an iPhone 7 outright on apples site and it list my Verizon monthly line fee as $15. Will I get the lower rate when I activate?
 
Ok, just read through the entire thread. It seems that to receive the full credit, the IP7 needs to be on the DPP for the full 24 months. Questions:
1. Are you allowed to transfer that phone to another line on your account before the 24 months is up?
2. If you are allowed such a transfer, would you keep getting the credits?
[doublepost=1473488288][/doublepost]Also, anyone know what the credit is for a 64gb 5s? A 32gb 5?
