My rep clearly told me about this when I upgraded 2 weeks ago,
I guess they didn't bother telling you? This always applies even when opening a line.

Verizon didn't really tell anyone (besides a press release) so it's a surprise for many folks once they decide to upgrade. I'm thinking it's pointless but try your luck.

You might have a decent shot at getting it waived since you weren't made aware of it at the Amazon showroom--all depends on the CSR you speak to.

Use the "valued customer" card along with your monthly "loyalty" charges. Complain nicely and maybe it'll work. What do you have to loose except the time wasted on the call?

I called to protest the fee and they gave me a month's free service. Which for me is triple the crazy upgrade fee in the first place. If the first rep doesn't give it to you, call a couple more times.
Good luck.

If you read the contract paperwork you probably signed without reading...it tells you that you will have an upgrade fee.

In regards to the OP, call them and tell and talk to them to waive it. Its a stupid BS fee, you already have to sign a 2 year contract, basically paying to pay for something. Silly stupidity, but hey..... its verizon..... they gave us a locked bootloader too....

Other US carriers already have an upgrade fee if I'm not mistaken so this isn't a Verizon only thing. This doesn't make me any happier knowing that money doesn't net a return nor directly improve service in my area.

There's an upgrade fee if you don't buy the device at a Verizon retailer. They give you a $30 discount in stores and online, they just want your business. If you diddint get your device directly from Verizon, you loose the discount.

This isn't true since I ordered online on verizon's site and they didn't give me a discount, I even tried to get it wavered by talking to reps on the phone but they just said its mandatory.

The only way you won't pay for an upgrade fee without having to complain is if you have a business account. I upgraded to get the S3 and my total didn't include the upgrade fee and the rep at the store said that business accounts are immune to the fee

Try third party retailers like wirefly.com
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

I called on Fri. to upgrade from a Droid X to S3, not on a business plan, and while they did mention the $30 activation fee they waived it without me even asking.
Also for people looking to upgrade at subsidized price and keep unlimited data, vz reps are definitely still allowing it as I was able to do this on Fri.

Unlimited Verizon Data plan anyone???

I hope that I'm not out of line posting this in the "general" forum. But I am getting ready to leave verizon so i can get the nexus 4 (and save a little cash on the monthly bills) and I really hate to see these two unlimited data plans i worked so hard to take advantage of and keep for so long just go to waste. Ive still got a little over a year left on the current plan and it has two lines on it, both have the unlimited 29.99 4g data added to them. I would feel silly just letting them go to waste if someone would be interested in assuming the remainder of the contract term. PM me if you happen to be interested. If i'm out of line in posting this then feel free to delete it with my apologies in mind. Also, I havent looked into separating the Lines yet in you only want one but I can investigate the possiblilty if you only need one...

Also go to androidcentral and androidforums. Plenty of people looking for unlimited data

Ya partner you can't be trying to sell it here. I would guess giving it away... Assuming that's what the op is doing is still against the rules, but selling definitely is.

Didn't even occur to me that you could transfer the account/plan to another...

me too, I started off with unlimited data then verizon changed midstream and if one wanted to upgrade the Ph , welp,, i was crap ooutta luck.. wife has a simple cell that allows her to call and reciave calls and thats all she wants,, i fell like verizon got the Gold Mine and i got the SHAFT.. i dont have any data share with her. how dumb does verizon think all of are.. Promise us 1 thing and then change.. of course VZW told me if i had a device already Pd for i could use the unlimited plan. i wonder what they do if i buy out my contract.. would i have to turn my GS3 in or keep it.. maybe it would be considered bought n paid for ? just blowin off some frustration men, so cut me some slack,,

I agree
I upgraded my phone right before Verizon forced people over the Share Everything plan, and I know they must hate me...lol

If you pay the ETF, you keep your phone...
Only time I ever knew this to be different from anyone was with ATT back in the day when they were exclusive with the iPhone they used to pull some crap trying to take the iPhone back even if you paid the ETF if you cancelled in the first...3 months maybe? Been a while so I don't remember for sure.

I'm not sure how it happened, but when I upgraded through Verizon to my S3 from my DX back in August someone didn't switch me off of my unlimited data. Had it ever since. Think I just got extremely lucky.

Hey wolf not sure it's true but heard T-Mobile might have a plan where you get a new phone and just pay monthly on it with your bill/2 year plan of course I think $20a month extra, have you heard if this?

Three UK deal

Hey guys,
Since I already posted this in another thread, I thought I would post a new topic just in case anyone misses it.
I've got a friend working in Three who is able to get yourself the S4 at £35 a month but can also give you a £30 credit and some extra minutes too :good:
If anyone is interested then feel free to give me a message
Just out of curiosity, has anyone bought the phone from Three yet? How was your experience?
BTW this isn't just exclusive to the S4, there's other phones too.

was due for an upgrade from three, got the £35/month 500 min unlimited data also got a home signal box for free as i get bad indoor coverage.

After a few PM's with several other members I thought I'd post how this works...
I simply forward your phone number and name to someone who works in Three's direct sales department based in Glasgow. They'll contact you at a specified time and discuss the phone, the plan and the offer with you. It is up to you whether you want to place your order right there and then or place the order at another time. The order must be placed over the phone however in order to qualify for the deal as this is the only way they can add the credit and minutes to the account.
Contact me for more information if you are interested :good:
As for why I'm posting this here, let's just say I owe this person a favor

Basically DarkStones mate will be getting a commison from each of you. Which I personally think is a nice thing to do, just a shame im mates with my local store manager so already have mine ordered.
Well played to you though mate!!

Not personally no, but I've heard from others that it works pretty well

Just a heads up guys, from 26th April onwards, there will be a £49 upfront cost for the phone if you buy it online or phone into inbound sales.
Of course I can get this waived for you even after this date :good: Also, this is a new contract and not an upgrade to your existing contract for those that are interested.

You wouldn't get the extra minutes and TCB may take a while to track. The credit can be applied immediately to the account by ordering directly from Three via myself. An additional £30 credit can also be added to a friend or family Three account if you have their phone number too.

My S4 is due to come on Friday, can't wait ^_^

Ordered S4 from Walmart![8-8-13][Information on firmware][TAKE the POLL]

So, this is my second S4, it may be a short run depending on how the phone ships!
Here is the info to be supplied by this post!
1. Price I paid to Walmart.
2. Time it takes to arrive, (remember I purchased online 8/8/2013)
3. What firmware did it ship with? (will report soon as I get it)
4. If not updated, (possible rooting before the update happens)
5. End result, (those of you wondering if you can get the Samsung 3rd party before the last OTA update) we will solve here!
6. Updates will appear in post #3
Stay Tuned!!!

Walmart Price
$159.95 cheaper then ATT at posting!
this is based on 2 yr renew contract!
FREE FEDEX SHIPPING!
My Device has shipped with an arrival date of the 13th...

Updates will appear here!
:laugh:THINGS WE NOW KNOW:laugh:
1. Good deals exist through out the various carriers, do research before you buy!
2. Good sources, (right here in this thread) suggest the firmware is on the box...(look before purchasing)
3. Athough a good deal can be had online, your taking a chance of getting the updated/locked-down firmware from hell...
4. 3rd parties as well as the carriers still are shipping the old firmware, but as old stock depletes latest will be shipping!
5. If you are fortunate to get the older firmware... do not insert Sim until rooted & booted to prevent OTA..
6. My personal S4 from walmart shipped and has a delivery date of 8/13/2013
7. Please take the pole...
THANKS for STOPPING BY!

Sorry but this thread is pointless, even if you get an mdl (pre mf3) from walmart doesnt mean all wallmarts or third parties will be the same...some att stores are still selling mdl and others mf3...it just depends what that individual store has in stock

1. That is true, but some folks want to take some guesswork out of the math equation...
2. Its a better chance for Walmart to have stockpiled S4's directly from Samsung having the old Firmware..
3. If this post is useless to you... Move along!
Thanks, for posting!

Just curious, does anyone know if there is an identifier on the box that could give away the build date of the device? Would only help checking out local inventory, if possible. I threw mine away about 2 weeks ago.

Just found a way to keep unlimited data !!

So I talked to a vzw Rep about getting a new phone and keep unlimited data so we got to talking it's a plan like edge but it's only a 12 month payment plan and not a 24 month like edge all you half to do is go into a Verizon store and tell them you want to put what ever phone you want on a device installment plan and you just pay very little up front and bam you keep your unlimited data and it just gets added to your bill like edge.

So if I just call them up before December 3rd and tell them I want to sign up for another two years contract they will let me keep my unlimited data with the same phone.

You don't need to sign a contract if you're not planning to upgrade. You'll just be a month to month customer with the current plan you have.

How much is the "first payment" for the phone? Is that the $200 that you would see as if you were buying a new plan?

No it would not be 200 your first payment is your first months payment and a one time finance charge up front then the rest is on you bill for 11months

Ha I just got it. You didn't change anything on your contract just got the phone on a device installment plan. I didn't realize that they allowed that. Which means that the Note 3 would be around 60 $ a month for 12 months. That's good to know I'll look into this. Thanks.
