I need a temporary phone (I think)...
I have backed myself into a corner...I switched to Verizon from Cingular 20 days ago, my Cingular account is active until Saturday and my wife is still using Cingular. I have a V710 and my Onstar carphone active on the Verizon account and i need to add another line for my wife. The problem is i have decided that i want a Nokia 6256i and want to give my wife the V710 (we both need tri mode phones). Well the damn Nokia is currently only availabe to new customers so i cant get it as an extra line so i have to wait until its available to existing customers and i am now out of time. If i go and buy a phone at a Verizon store to use in the meantime than i will lose my credit with Verizon and will have to pay a ridiculous price for the Nokia w...

ebay, but I'm confused hailer. What do you mean you will loose your credit? Are you talking about your NE2 or 😕

I talked to a Verizon rep and they told me that if I added a line a got a free phone from them when i come back in a couple of weeks to buy the Nokia than i will have to pay full retail (ouch!). Apparantly you get a better deal upfront on the first phones that you buy.
Kinda scared of ebay, but i will give it a look.

The Nokia is allegedly goin' ta start ta be available at Best Buy on Sunday or Monday. Is that too late?

No, that would be perfect...However, will it be available to existing customers?
I have to give credit to a Verizon rep who contacted Inphone and tried to work out a deal for me on the phone from them, but was unable to pull it off...So far i have been very happy with the customer service people at Verizon.

You'd think so. But I guess you'll have ta ask 'em to be sure.
If I remember right, someone on HowardForums posted that the Best Buy SKU number fo' the 6256i is #7302616. Dat might help a register monkey at BB find it in their database fo' you.
Hope it all works out an' that there's no mo' delays. I been waitin' to try this phone out too.
