Verizon upgrade at full retail

[vegastime]

I had no trouble buying my full price 5s on Verizon's website with no contract on launch day. I did not have to jump through any hoops. Could only order the subsidized price through Apple's website.

Hopefully, can do the same this year.

Maybe the difference is, I went to the apple store. Living in a metro area there is one within 7 miles and one near work.

Wow. So basically when preorders go up I login to Verizon or Apple, choose to add a line to my plan, choose the iPhone 6, pay the 200 or 300 subsidized price.

I then get the new iphone, call Verizon and have them put the 6 on my current line and my old 5 on the new line. Then after 14 days I cancel the new line, pay the $350 ETF, and in total I'll have paid $650 max (if the 32gb is $300)?

Can anyone confirm this would work? Would adding a new line mess with my unlimited data plan at all?

Anyone know if that scenario really works?

You are supposedly required to keep a data plan on the line for two years, even if you pay an etf.

But I have a unlimited data account so if i add a line it makes it a family plan and then ill loose my unlimited data right?

Minus few credit score points. It is like getting credit card and then cancel it.

Yes but If i pay an ETF I am getting out of that contract / cancelling my service.

You can read between the lines on what this means. I don't know.
