How does the two year contract for verizon work?

I have a stupid phone and my two year contract just ended. It claims to be a "free" upgrade but it never really is. I want an iphone 5s and is the phone free or does the contract stay the same because I don't have a data bill on my phone and I have no idea what is happening with this.

5s isn't free but the price has come down since the 6 is coming in Sept. 5s will run about $150-199 depending on if they have a sale. The 4s is FREE but hurry since they will be discontinued in a few more weeks. Then a $35 activation fee just to fleece you going out the door. But you will have to get a new plan since your current one doesn't have data. They will not sell a smartphone without a data package. Troll their website to ballpark your monthly expenses on what it will run. Best luck.

You can trade in your current phone and get credit so upgrading on a new contract is cheap or free, iphones hold their value really well.

Apple also recently boosted the trade-in values for the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. Apple Stores now offer up to $99 toward a new device for an iPhone 4 and up to $199 for an iPhone 4S.

If you don't have data, it will be added to your account if you get the 5S. The phone is to get you to resign, the contract for 2 years guarantees the carrier they will receive the monthly bill amount from you each month.

  • T mobile user wants iphone 5, monthly price of two year contract? I'm a tmobile user that really wants to get the iphone 5.Is there any way to get the iphone 5 and still use tmobile, or will i be forced to open a new contract no matter what if i want the iphone 5? I'm apart of a tmobile family plan and it is only $30-40 a month, and I heard that the 2 year contract is $100+ a month.
  • My two year contract with Verizon ends next month? My brother and I both have iPhone 4 and we both pay 80 dollars a month which is way too expensive. My brother won't be renewing his contract… And I don't know what I'm gonna do:/ if he gets off the contract would I have to pay even more money every month?
