Contract Extended for Adding Wife's Phone??
My wife and I have had separate Verizon accounts until just recently. When I got a new phone, usine NE2, July 11th, I renewed my contract for two years. After the new family share plans came out, it made sense for my wife and me to combine our plans. I first had to take over financial responsibility for her plan, she was one year into a two year contract, and then combine our plans. I subsequently received a new agreement in the mail, saying we had entered into a two year contract with an effective date of July 25th, the date our plans were combined.
Does this sound right? I mean, I had entered into a new two year contract just a couple of weeks prior. By adding her line to mine, that would extend the time for her from the one year ...

did you change your plans to the family share? because changing your price plan is signing a new agreement
...
If you had more than 1 yr left in your existing agreement, yours shouldn't have been extended. Your wife's would have since she had less than 1 yr remaining and changed to a new promo plan, but she should only have had a 1 yr agreement as well.
...
Combining lines does not change your contract date. Each line on an account maintains it's own contract end date because different actions are taken on differnt lines at different times. For instance, if your wife took advantage of NEWE2 at some point, it would not be fair to extend your contract. That's why the different dates.

Yes, that sounds right to me. Combining them on to the same account in itself wouldn't do it. But changing plans to the family share plan will do it. That's switching to a new promotion which requires a contract extension. Both lines changed so it happens on both lines. You're NE2 upgrade a couple weeks prior was totally seperate. Basically your contact only got extended a couple weeks since you had just done an upgrade. They will now both end two years from the date the new plan took affect.
...
what about the phone upgrade date. Does that change also? This is where verizon is devious, hey have contract dates for phone upgrades, and plan changes. It appears now you have both phones at the same contract date, and she probably will be able to upgrade her phone a year from now since she only had 1 year left on her contract, and now that she is a secondary line, she will not qualify for the NE2, she only qualifies for the contract prices, so, next year if you upgrade her phone, here comes another contract date, if you do upgrade next year, I would only do a year contract on her phone so when the 2 year date from now comes, both lines will be out of contract. Sounds confusing? That is what verizon wants it to sound. Their own reps ...

Yes, the first part of your statement is correct. His upgrade date on his phone will not change. In reality, this contract extension for the price plan change won't matter. If his contract was originally up in one year and he could upgrade at that time he probably would have... extending his contract from two years at that point. In a year from now he will probably still do the same thing, extending his contract two years from that point. He will be in the exact same place anyway.
As for the wifes line, it will not be eligible for NE2. You can't get everything though. They are probably saving quite a bit a month in service so paying a little more for a phone shouldn't be a big issue. You can't have everything.
