I payed a deposit to get my iPhone, do I get this deposit back in the future?

I payed a $400 deposit for my iPhone with Verizon, but do I get it back in the future? I got it around May of last year.

If it was just a deposit, and not put towards the phone plan or phone costs over time, etc., then yeah you should get it back as long as your contract is done.

After one year of good payment history, they will return your deposit.

  • Would you go back in time even if you couldnt rewrite your past or tell anyone about the future? So if you were given the opportunity to go back in time to relive your past, yet you couldnt let anyone know you were from the future, and you couldnt tell them about things to come like iphones, new diseases, cures, jets, wars, lottory numbers, pregnancies, spouses, etc, would you do it? You also would not be allowed to rewrite your past either. Just relive it. Would you do it?
  • Why do AT&T, Verizon and Sprint need a deposit? Because I went to any AT&T couple weeks ago to get the iPhone 4 and the guy told me I needed a 300 dollar deposit, why do you need it
  • Why are all wireless companies charging a deposit on iPhone 5s? I've tried every cell phone company and they never mention a deposit fee, until I enter all my info then submit. On the finalizing page, they all say I have to put a $400 deposit down. Does anyone know why all companies are doing that?
  • When will the future get here? I was a huge science fiction kid growing up. In the 1990s I was bombarded by messages about how we were going to live life in the future. Sadly to say its 2010s everything dosent look that fantastic. Sure iPhones and computers are cool. But the world and everything else is the same. Where are all the hover cars, the moon colonies, the robots, the food pills, the Ray guns, etc. They said this would be the future at least from 1950s Sci Fi authors. What happened?
