Verizon iPhone dead, but another line is eligible for an upgrade, contract options?

In our share everything Verizon plan, we had 1 IPhone contract activated in October 2012, and 3 in March 2013. My iPhone is broken due to water damage- it's 2 year contract is over this march.Is it possible to purchase a $200 phone through the October contract (while keeping our #s) or do I have to pay full price for an upgrade or wait until march to get a deal on a phone?

If you can (big IF) apply the upgrade to the October 2012 phone and bump that phone over to your March 2015 upgrade option assuming the Oct 2012 hasn't been upgraded yet. Big Red would then allow the new contract and $200 price and you get to keep your number. Best luck.

Yes… If you due an upgrade now, then you can get a phone, now.

don't be afraid to call Verizon customer service for assistance.

You can use the upgrade on line that's eligible and switch the numbers, and then that line would get your upgrade in March. You just need to talk to Verizon about that.

You of course should probably make sure whoever is using that line is okay with you taking their upgrade though.

  • Will I be eligible for my upgrade through Verizon 1 day early? It will be easier for me to go to Verizon on a weekend day versus a weekday. AND, it's my birthday week, so I can finally get an iphone with worthy battery and actual sound. So I was wondering if Verizon would let me upgrade a day early without trying to sell me the edge plan bull.
  • Will I be eligible for an upgrade? So I purchased my iPhone 5s with a new contract and everything on my dad's plan in May of 2014, and I checked with ATT and it says I'm eligible for a upgrade if I trade in my device or pay the installment fee. I'm wondering if I trade in my iPhone 5s which has scratches and bents, but it fully works, will I be able to get an iPhone 6s?
  • What if it's too soon to be eligible for an upgrade on iphone? I want to get the new iphone 6, but I won't be eligible until January. If I decided to get the new one now, what will happen?
  • How to be eligible for an upgrade sooner? I have a verizon iphone 4 and it's a TERRIBLE phone. It is so slow and I'm so sick of it. How can I be able to get an upgrade sooner with verizon. It's march now and I'm able to get an upgrade in June but I would like that sooner because I'm so sick of this phone. I would like it by April or May so I can get the samsung galaxy s5. So it's not like I'm asking for a year earlier just a few months
