Iphone4 @ verizon
 

Just out of curiosity I went to Verizon website for an Iphone4 upgarde. I already have a line, so I figured an Iphone would be around $200 plus maybe a better data plan...Yeah sure :eek::eek:

32 Gb Iphone4: $749
16 Gb Iphone4: $649

Are they crazy or trying to ass rape their customers??
Is it the same @ AT&T?

If you're an existing customer, you pay full price. If you threaten to leave, they'll become reasonable and offer you some good deals.

+1. Unfortunately this seems to be the only way to get good results nowadays. :)

I can't wait to see what AT&T offers me when I cancel the day after my contract expires. I will quit them like a bad habit and nothing will bring me back. Their network SUCKS and I wouldn't keep them if it were free. Counting the days.

And I suppose the phone itself is specific to their network, right? I seem to recall it is CDMA while the AT&T is GSM...makes "cheating" more difficult.

You can jailbreak your iPhone if you don't want to pay for one on another network. I'll probably eBay mine off, as it's in perfect condition and I have some old RAZR GSM phones for int'l. travel.

Let us see how high this one goes: already $310 and 10 min left:

Jailbroken I phone 4 - eBay (item 150561062452 end time Feb-10-11 12:18:44 PST)

$70 for shipping?

iPhones are cheaper at Apple store.

I think someone either misled you or you are not up for an upgrade.

An iPhone 16GB on upgrade is $199 and 32GB is $299. If you are not ready to upgrade then it is what you have listed.

This sounds more like it...I will wait to be ready for my upgrade then.

you guys might want to hold out for an iPhone 5

a matter of months - rumored

How much will they charge you to leave?

I've also heard that Verizon will pay any fees you owe AT&T if you sign up with them.

Oh my. This might get me to switch early. We have a family share plan and about 11 mos. left on it. Probably would be a good $200 to leave now.

A Verizon phone will not work on any other network, since it is CDMA not GSM. An AT&T phone which is unlocked can be used on T-Mobile (at GSM speeds) and overseas on other companies networks.

What is that...about the price of a speeding ticket...;)

I got the Verizon phone today with a temp number to test how it works in my calling environment where AT&T is a dismal failure. So far, 4 bars everywhere that AT&T goes to 1 and below.

Cost was $199 for the 16GB phone. I got 3 for our company: 2 16s and a 32. With tax, plan setup and one tether contract, $899 out the door.

AT&T has a cancellation rate that declines over time, so I should be paying around $175 to cancel. Don't care. Their service is abysmal. I'll get about $300 for my 3GS phone. So net cost of leaving is not intolerable.

I looked up Verizon's plan today and it's about $30 per month more than what we have with ATT. We both have 16GB 3GS's in perfect condition. I don't know what they're going for now, but selling them and my ATT Micro Cell on Craigslist would probably put a dent in a switchover. Still, I can't stand the thought of paying a dime more for monthly service and I know I'd get hit with the early term. fee. I think Verizon will sweeten their deal in a few mos. and will revisit the issue then.

Any insight on capability? Verizon is the only consistent provided in my area so the whole family is on V.

I'm interested in switching to an Iphone in a few months...my BB is getting long in the tooth.
