Who wants a Verizon iPhone on 1-year contract?

Hello everyone. First post but long time reader.

I have been reading conflicting reports about the 1-year contract availability for the verizon iphone.

I'm a long time customer and have never agreed to a 2-year term. I'm hoping VZW doesn't decide to eliminate that option with this phone purchase. To me, its a deal breaker.

I guess we'll just have to wait until 3am to find out.

What I like about Verizon is one year contract eligible for upgrade in 10 months. I work for USPS and 1 year contract would cost me $30 instead of $70.

I still think it could happen.

Yes, activated Verizon iPhone 4 yesterday evening, then called customer service this AM and changed my contract to ONE year. It costed me $100 more than what I would have paid if I had kept 2 yr contract. I guess it is little expensive option, but still I am glad VZW offered it, Thanks y'all.

I think I'm a VZW Rep Moron Magnet. WTF is wrong with some of the people who answer the phones?

To make a long story short, I'm surprised this asshat even knew the iPhone was available for the company he worked for. Forget about a one-year contract option...he didnt even know that was available on any of the phones they sell.

You know whats the worst thing though...they put all your conversations in notes about your account. So the next time I call...their going to see I asked the same question regardless of if I get a moron or not.

I hope I can get switched to a one-year.

I will be interested to see whether anyone else finds the 1 year info to be true. I have called twice and no dice.

Just curious to see if any new Verizon iPhone owners were able to get their phones on a one-year contract.

If so, please let us know so I can plan on calling the hooplehead reps again.

Thanks.
