Verizon Pre-Order Edge Plan

From the VZ iPhone 6 page:

Yes I know, I already posted above that I made a mistake and its available.

That's what a rep told me but when doing the checkout on a 5S for testing I ciould not find anywhere saying I had to give them my phone. My contract ends 10/4 so it's a bit silly to give them my phone

Edit: I just redid it and you have to go all the way to the page right before confirming the order (putting in credit card, etc etc etc.) before it tells you one line in red "You have to return the device that was originally activated on the line within 14 days, or a fee up to $200 will be charged"

They will send you a prepaid envelope/box with your new phone that you will use to return it. Confirmed it over the phone this morning.

I knew that >.< Thanks for the reply though! Hmmmm now the choice is $400 up front and $60 a month (single line 2GB plan) or taxes up front ($53) and $93 a month...?

Also remember the activation fee for contract phone that you don't pay for Edge phone.

This might be a stupid question, but if you preorder through the carrier site instead of Apple, do you still get the phone on launch day?

Probably IF you order before stock is depleted. Same goes for Apple.

Oh yeah, that's another $35 savings... It's looking like I may go Edge this time around! I hope my credit is good enough. *crosses fingers*

I just got off the phone with a Verizon rep, found out something I didn't know. So I'm in good standing and everything with Verizon and I'm eligible for the early EDGE. The rep told me everything I pretty much already know, but then she said, since I'm still under contract until the end of October, if I choose to do early EDGE I would have to trade in my current phone right now, in order to get on EDGE program. That was something that I didn't pick up from reading any of the post here. I guess it sorta make sense to me, the fact that I'm still under contract and all, just I just want to check with you guys.

However the funny thing is, she said if I want I can call or visit a Verizon store on October 1st, and if they have the new iPhone in stock, they will be willing to do a manger's approval and let me do the 2-year contract pricing a month early.

I was really thinking to go with EDGE this time. I guess I'll just wait until the end of October then.

Seems they will allow it with both plans for preorder.


I'm converting to Edge and then preordering. My rep said that had to be done in store (or I'd guess on the phone with a rep), so that's how I'm doing it and then they will place my pre order for me.

Are you still under contract while converting to EDGE or are you out of contract already?

Anyone already on EDGE and going to "EDGE up" for the ip6? I have a few months old HTC One M8 and a rep at a B&M corporate Verizon store told me I would have no trouble paying upto the 60% threshold and preordering on 9/12 but they didn't seem completely confident...
