Terminating Verizon Contract?
I have to wait until september 2013 for my contract to expire, but contacted Verizon and was told that it would cost me $100 to terminate my contract.
I was looking at getting the Iphone 5 and my best bet seemed to be terminating my contract, and paying 199 for the new phone and a new 2 year contract. That would cost me 299 (199 for iphone + 100 for termination), instead of the 650 to get the iphone without terminating the contract.
Is there something I'm missing, or does this make the most sense for me. (I'm aware that my number will be lost in the process)
Aside from missing the upgrade fee ($35), you have got it dead on.
You should not lose your number, as paying the ETF is not the same as cancelling out your line. Just make sure that when you pay your ETF that you let Verizon know what your plan is, they should allow you to keep you number with no issue.
It's doable, but two things might change- you'd have a data plan each month if you didn't before, and if you were grandfathered in an old plan with unlimited data, you might lose that.
Tmobile gives you unlimited talk, text and web for $50 a month with NO contract and walmart sells some of the better samsung smartphones for less than anyone else.
Both AT&T and verizon charge twice as much for less service.
- What's better contract or no contract? The 2 year contract is iPhone 5 for 149.99 one time plus 51 dollars a month. The no contract is iPhone 5 for 579.99 one time or down payment of 99.99 and 20 bucks a month plus 42.50 a month?
- Total terminating costs of iPhones? I know for a fact that most iPhones need 2 year contracts. What is the actual cost of an iPhone 4/4s/5 with contract? Is an iPhone without a contract cheaper?
- Should I get iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S? No contract or with contract? I don't know what exactly is so much better with the 5 compared to 4S? I'm thinking to get it with no contract because I'll be in Europe over the summer so I'll need another contract over there for a few months so that likely wouldnt work if I got a 2 year contract here in the US is the 5 much more expensive than the 4s? and does the price vary a lot if I buy with/without contract?
- Is the iPhone 5s better with a contract or no contract? Which is cheaper? I was thinking about getting an iPhone 5s and I was just wondering if no contract or contract was cheaper. I saw that T- mobile offered a no contract deal, yes I know you have to pay it all up front. I just want to know which would be cheaper in the long run.
