How to get an iPhone without an upgrade with Verizon?

Okay so recently, my mom who has an iphone either lost it or had it stolen. She took two upgrades and got 2 new iphones for my brother and herself. We have the family share plan too so we all share data and it doesn't really matter if you add a smartphone.being that i have a droid x, i was wondering if there was any way i could get an iPhone without the upgrade and without paying 550$ for it either, perhaps if i could just buy one at best buy or something and then activate it and deactivate my phone? I don't know how it would work but when i had a feature phone all i had to do was activate the Droid and there was no problem and i wanted to know if that could still apply with an iPhone as long as it was with a verizon carrier. Anything helps, Thank you.

Q: Is there any way to get an iPhone without an upgrade with Verizon?
A: Pay full price for the phone.

  • What is the cost of using my two year verizon upgrade to get an iPhone? I've always had a basic phone, but now I'm interesting in upgrading to an iPhone. It's time for my upgrade, and on the verizon wireless website, it says that, with the purchase of a two year plan, the iPhone 4s is free, the iPhone 5c is 100 dollars, and the iPhone 5s is 200. Is this information still accurate if I'm not purchasing a new plan but am just upgrading? Also, how much would I pay in tax?
  • Verizon upgrade date? Any way to upgrade early? So today I went to the Verizon store to get the new iPhone 6. It came to 399, and everything was cool. But then, they realized I couldn't upgrade phones until March of 2016, and that if I still wanted the phone, it would come too around 800 dollars. So I was like yeah no thanks, and I left, all bummed out. So I was wondering if there's any way I could get the iPhone but, not for that outrageous price?
  • T Mobile or Verizon. Should I pay T-Mobile 175.00 for an upgrade or 94.00 to Verizon for new phone? I want the iPhone 6s plus. I'm already with t mobile but there internet is a bit slow sometimes. Its the jump plan ill get. Ill pay 12.00 for 24 mo. And if i get a new phone they won't run my credit again. But with verizon they'll run my credit. Is pretty good. But i don't want anybody to really run my credit tho lower it. I'm not sure about verizon internet but the commercials looks pretty good. They bboth have unlimited internet. What should I do?
  • Is it possible to get a free iPhone upgrade? (iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 upgrade)? I've had my iPhone 4 a little over a year now and I'm wondering if I could somehow get an upgrade? Is there something I have to do?
