A:AnswerGood news for existing Verizon customers: You’ll still be able to get discounted phones for $100 or $200 by renewing a two-year service contract. Verizon clarified its policy in an email on Tuesday. As long as you stay with the current plan, you can upgrade at a discount. So if you were anticipating a new model from Apple or Samsung, you can wait until those phones come out.
A:AnswerSize and feel are similar to the iPhone 6 plus. I've had both. I LOVED both! You absolutely cannot go wrong either way. I happen to lean more towards the android because of the freedom to customize with ring tones and widgets. The s pen is so much fun! I'm writing with it right now. Both devices have a premium feel and both have amazing displays. The speaker sounds better on the Note 5, but the camera and video are a little better on the iPhone 6 plus. Either choice is the right one!
A:AnswerI went for an upgrade 2 weeks ago. They are doing away with contracts, so what they are doing now is having us pay full price for the phone. Since nobody would pay $700 up front for a phone, they allow payments added to your bill. The bill is $20 less without being on a contract for whatever reason, and the phone adds $30. So my bill is $10 more a month. Up front, I had to pay taxes which was $70, but best buy gave a $250 gift card. I'm throwing a lot of numbers at you, so in summary : Payed nothing the day i bought the phone, walked away with $140 gift card (after taxes and a nice case), and my bill is $10 more a month. When the phone is payed off, bill will be $20 cheaper than it was before. Sorry for the novel.
A:AnswerI got that deal on August 26th but the store told me it was till September 26th which is tomorrow but I believe it only goes till then in stores not online so go check it out in store by tomorrow
A:AnswerNo, unactivated simply means that there is no plan/contract on the phone, as in you didn't buy the phone and put a number on it.
Unlocked means that it can be used on different carriers. So instead of buying a Verizon Note5 or a Sprint Note5, it would simply be a Note5 that you can put on whichever carrier you'd like.
Hope that makes sense!
A:AnswerThis is about the worst place to save money on the new series of Galaxy S5/6 and Note 4/5 phones as you cannot expand the storage any longer. Compounded with this is the fact that the camera on the S6 and Note5 are 15MP (4K UHD resolution) resulting in each picture taking 3-7MB each. Just get the 64GB version and save yourself a lot of frustration going forward. Also, if you don't have it yet, setup free Google Drive storage since that'll give you 15GB of cloud storage for pictures and such.
A:AnswerI called verizon to find out if I would get penalized to upgrade before the end of my 2 year contract and get penalized if I wished to keep a 2 year contract with the same plan. The answer is nope, no penalties. Your new contract is renewed the day you activate your new phone. I kept the same minimum plan and so my phone bill wouldn't change. Verizon let you if you are already an existing customer. Verizon and bestbuy work together as the verizon rep said. I saved an extra $50 by purchasing online through bestbuy.com. Phones are cheaper with bestbuy than with verizon. Anyway, your next bill will be the same as usual if you wish to keep the same plan under a 2 year contract, plus add the phone's activation fee which is $40. You might get a break if you need 2 activations though since you have 2 lines. Your phone's purchase will only be with bestbuy and so won't show up on your verizon bill. About going with the verizon edge, I actually don't know about it except that if you get verizon edge and don't like it you won't be able to go back to your previous plan with the 2 year contract. I chose to renew my 2 year contract as I didn't want to pay full price for my phone. The discounts with 2 year contracts are way worth it. Call verizon, I've got a real nice rep answering every one of my questions. Their customer care has definitely improved over the years. Hooray!
A:AnswerNo phone ever comes with a SIM card, and even if someone sold you a phone and gave you their old SIM card, it would be useless to you. Verizon and Best Buy don't charge for new SIM card on new phone purchase or SIM card replacement on existing phone on active plan.
A:AnswerYup! I started my journey at verizon and they said they would give me $13 for my old crummy windows phone that was on its last breathe. So I went to bestbuy mobile and no questions asked they took it for $200 and threw it in bin. I watched with sheer joy as it landed on its back displaying the cracked screen with mutilated pixels trying to show my windows menu. Note 5 64gb with giftcard applied is $150 before tax, pretty sweet deal.
