Verizons New Every Two
Hey i heard that Verizon is lying about the New Every Two program because someone my bro works with said he got 100 credit towards his Tour phone he bought recently and has bought 6-7 phones in the last year. He also said that you get the 100 Credit at the end of your 2 year contract. Do you guys really think they will permanently get rid of the 100 credit? Only cause Verizon would lose too much business from that. I mean they would bring it back if their stock increases
...
I don't think they would lose so much business, simply because a surprising number of my customers have no clue what NE2 is or that they have it.
...
It's hard to make out exactly what you're saying. NE2 isn't a lie, customers get it everyday. There however, is no more $100 credit. If you had a NE2 credit on your account before the $100 ended, you can still get the $100. You also get it if you qualified for the $100 when you last upgraded or started your new plan. You won't get it anymore though. The next time it will be either $30 or $50 depending on your plan. Plans $34.99 to $74.98 are $30 and $79.99 and above now get a $50 NE2. The program isn't going away.
Your friend getting 6 or 7 phones in the past year means nothing. Apparently he's paid retail for those or bought them from someone else or something. You will get a NE2 credit every 20 months, period.

Ok, now you have me curious. I did an early upgrade back in November 2008 for the Storm (new customer pricing). I wasn't elgiable for an upgrade. They just made me extend my contract 1 year.
I have NE2 on my account, but have never used it. I am eligible to use my NE2 in Aug 2010. I remember this cause my contract ends the same month and year as my NE2.
Which would I fall under the $100 or the other 2 opitions?

I'm going to take a guess and say you fall under the new tier. I can't recall exactly when it took affect though. With you not being eligible for NE2 until Aug 2010 that would put you pretty close on the line for it to go either way. I think somewhere on your MyVerizon account it should show what NE2 amount you qualify for.
...
I found out, because I enrolled prior to February 15, 2009. I would get the $50-100 off when my NE2 comes up. Depends on the phone I pick. so I guess that's good. 🙂
Thanks

Verizon has really reduced the value of its New Every Two. When I started out, it was a straght $100, then it became tiered at $50/$100, depending upon the cost of your calling plan. Now it's a mere $30/$50. It's almost gone.
...
But in their defense the cose of phone have came down as well. I can remember several years ago when you paid $300 for a phone with contract. Today even the high end phones are only running around the $100 range. $30 or $50 is still a good chunk of that.
...
Perhaps, if you buy relatively similar phones. Unfortunately, the phones are getting more and more sophisticated so I keep buying better and better phones that cost more and more money.
...
Perhaps? I remember when a Motorola T720 was $449.99 Full Retail or the Audiovox CDM9500 $499.99 Full Retail. Samsung I830 was $699.99 forever. Those were the bad old days. Early adoptors paid out the #%& for new phones. The phones have come down. No doubt. Verizon is honoring the $100 NE2 for those who still have it, but with new contracts it no longer exists at that price. I think it is still a good deal. Verizon does not charge an upgrade fee like some carriers do.
...
My point was that because I'm purchasing phones with greater capabilities, I am spending more today for a new phone than I did years ago when Verizon offered the full $100 New Every Two incentive. Retail prices have nothing to do with this. I was comparing the discounted prices then with those today. After the New Every Two incentive is taken into account, my net cost for a new phone is more today. I was not comparing Verizon with any other carrier. I was merely comparing the net price to me.

This post is directed to everyone, not necessarily the post I'm replying too.
When I started with the company in 2004, the discounting worked as follows:
Full retail - $120 = 2 year pricing.
Full retail - $70 = 1 year pricing.
So, if a phone (say the Kyocera KX414) was listed as $119.99 on full retail, the phone was $0 (as it was in my store). If the phone was $139.99 full retail, as was the Samsung a650, the phone was $19.99 on a two year contract (which it was in my store). If a phone was $189.99 full retail, it was often $69.99 with a $50 mail in rebate, making it $19.99 as well. This system held true for many years.
Now, you look at the majority of the high-end phones and the system is gone. The low end phones are more i...

What i was saying was, my friend was telling me VERIZON is lying about it NOT the program. Because he said he did his NE2 upgrade just recently and got his 100 Credit. And him buying 6-7 phones in the past year does mean something because he knows what is going on with verizon for buying so many phones within that timeframe. I think what my friend was saying that even when you sign a new contract you can still get the 100 credit but have to wait til your contract is completely up.
But as far as doing the Early Upgrade is concerned, i was thinking about doing mine early because i want either the enV Touch or the Dare, but if i wait til May i would get the 100 credit. What do you guys think i really should do?

Its still the New Every Two...Just different amounts. If he renewed his contract before the changes took effect then he would get his 100.00 at the 20 month mark. If he renewed after the date the change took effect he will only get either 30.00 or 50.00 New Every Two. No way around it. He may get an additional discount approved by someone but those exceptions are Few and Far between now. Dont believe everything someone tells you. Get it from the horses mouth and call and ask for yourself.
