HOW DID SHE GET IPHONE 5 FOR $99?

My friend had an upgrade available and got the iphone 5 (lowest gig) for $99?! I thought the "Upgrade discount" prevented you from paying a regular price of $500 or whatever the ridiculous price is

She has a plan for it. I have a plan too so I can get my iPhone 5 for free whenever I want

Well for Verizon when its upgrade time, a iPhone 4 is free, 4s is 99 and an iPhone 5 is 199. I'm not really sure why she paid 99 maybe they had a deal where if you get one, you get another $99? I'm not sure maybe ask her?

It does, and when her upgrade was ready she was allowed to receive a discount like that. It's when you don't have a upgrade available and you still wanna pay for a new phone device

So what's the problem. Depending on your carrier, you get a phone upgrade every 6 months to 2 or 3 years. You said she has an upgrade so that's how she got the phone for 99. She could also have traded in her old phone to get even more discounts. I think best buy gives you 100 or more if you trade in your 4s towards the 5.

No matter what company she is with the iphone 5 with an upgrade is $199.99 unless she went to Amazon.com or some place like that! My wife just got one and it was $199.99 with her upgrade, she checked with all the other companies that carry that phone and it was $199.99 nothing less.
