An interesting article on Consumerist today titled
class=boldcopy target="_blank">8 Confessions Of A Former Verizon Sales
Rep offers useful insider advice on how to get a better deal from
Verizon.
The advice includes not opting for a 2 year contract so you can
upgrade to a new phone every year, mentioning the lost or stolen
program to get a 25% discount and signing up to an unlimited data plan
to get a $100 discount only to cancel the plan the next day.
Ask for a loyalty credit on the phone before going to the store.
One way to work the system if you have New Every 2 and are out of
contract is to call customer care, have them put you back into
contract, but ask for a loyalty credit (up to $60 off your next months
bill), then go into the retail store and use your New Every 2. The two
credits can’t be combined and that is the only way to get both. I’ve
never seen this not work, although they could technically say that you
already got a credit, but the system are not that informative and I
have never seen that happen. Just make sure you know the contract
rules for VZW in your state, and make sure you go to the store in time
to cancel the new contract in case you cant use the NE2.
