I just wanted to find out what do you guys think about it. Since the verizon is the most expensive carrier out here and they sell most expensive phone. Since they have all the cards in their hand. Most reliable 3G and biggest 4G, best phones and good customer service. Do you think it can impact people on how they upgrade or they will switch companies because of this fee?

...and thought that only Czech operators are greedy *****es.....
Who would they switch to? Doesn't AT&T and Sprint have a slightly higher upgrade fee?
Either way, I think it's crap. Like the others I'll probably tweet and email them angrily about it, but I like their service too much to jump ship. Still, with how expensive the phones are already, it's crap.

That makes sense but no company is selling their phones for $300.
I guess we have to start a petition. If that does not work we just have to deal with that.

So out of interest, in the US on Verizon you have to pay $300 for a phone, plus a monthly fee of what $30 for your minutes, texts and data for two years? Is that right?

The monthly fee starts at $40 for 450 minutes + $30 for data (4GB for LTE).
Then you can add text messages or more data.
Blimey! I hope the UK operators don't start charging that much when we get 4g.
I got a free unlocked razr, 300 minutes, unlimited messages and data and it just costs equivalent to $45 per month on a 2 year contact.
No extra charges, connection fees. It seems like you guys really get screwed, I feel sorry for you.

I have two grandfathered Unlimited Data lines on my account that are on two Razr's and I pay around $219.00 USD a month But VZW IMHO is the best out there and every one of my family members from where I grew up are on it. Plus VZW has the best coverage for me where I travel/live. But sheesh it's expensive.

Sorry was just reading more.
This fee will help us continue to provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect which includes Wireless Workshops, online educational tools, and consultations with experts who provide advice and guidance on devices that are more sophisticated than ever.
Oh and they offer a trade in program. Yeah they wanna give you $50 for a phone they still sell retail for $649 or contract of $299.
They dont know their head from their ass most times. I think they have so many call centers so the person that said they were going to help you cant be reached. You know how sometimes they say the call may be recorded, well I sure wish it would be too.

I'm at $40 for 450 voice, $10 for 500 text, $30 for unlimited data. I get 25% discount from combination of business discount and longtime customer, making my bill $68 after tax monthly. Got my Rezound using Amazon Wireless for $150 shortly after it came out because of a special they were running.
Best part - even though I took the 2 year discount to get that price and had to select 4gb data, I'm still showing unlimited data plan. Must've been a glitch in the renewal process but I don't complain.

My sister wants to get this phone and she is still on the EVO 4G.
I told her she could just buy out her contract if she wants the full discount. It's only $50.00 (she's a few months out).
The Corporate Sprint store said she had to hand in her old EVO 4G to do the Buyout. She wants to keep it and sell it (she already got offered like $130.00 for it).
She called Sprint and she said she had to go to a Store to do it.
I thought you could just call up sprint, payoff contract and then buy and Sprint phone after full discount from any authorized dealer with a 2 year renewel.
And sell your old phone any old time you want.
I bought out of my contract no problem...they never asked for me to return anything back....besides that she paid for her of EVO with her money I would call again and speak to a diffrent service rep....

You were most likely given bad information. Call again.

No point in calling again. That info is correct. Sprint modified the program. It is no longer being performed thru customer care. It is now being done in the stores and a buyback of the old device IS required. You were told correctly. Customer care can't offer this anymore. It must be done in the stores. This was done to reduce issues from the previous program.

Unless that changed in the last couple of months, its nonsense. Or unless my situation was different. I had three lines on my account and terminated two of them for $50 each over the phone and didn't have to give them a thing.

Couldn't a person just buy some piece of junk on craigs list, activate it on the line and give them that? (moment old blackberry etc) My kid has an epic touch with a crack in the screen that only can be seen with the screen off and they want to give him 40 bucks for it, i don't think so.

A couple of internal docs regarding the new buy-out program were posted on Inside Sprint Now, which of course doesn't exist any more. Yes, starting in the second half of June early buy-outs are only supposed to be done through corp stores and yes, you have to turn in the phone that Sprint gave you in the previous upgrade cycle. The fee depends on the age of the current phone. It is a new program though, so you might still be able to do it the old way by calling customer service and without trading in your current phone, just depends on CSR's knowledge and luck.
Wow, just another reason to leave Sprint I guess. I think that's pretty dumb, as you essentially loose the money you paid for the device. Unless the money you paid to get the device is somehow subtracted from the price you pay to buy out the contract.
yeah this is bs, why would i pay off the rest of the fone just to turn in the fone and buy a new contract.... if sprint keeps this, they are gonna use alot of business....
You people are ridiculous....
How about you wait until your contract is up then? Then you can upgrade and keep your phone. If u want to upgrade early this is how you have to do it. Otherwise don't do it. Simple. Yet another reason to leave sprint? Lol. That sounds silly. Please explain to me how other providers run their buyout programs.

I think it's ridiculous when folks say I can't do X because they are under contract.
ok so i guess we're pretending that they didn't just take away the premire upgrades. you should be able to buy out the rest of your contract and not have to turn in the phone too, thats not a good deal, say you pay 165 to end your contract and then have to turn in a 500+ plus phone just do get a new one, might as well just pay the etf and keep the phone, u could actually make more money to get a new phone this way.

Just depends on the phone you have.
This is one specific program.. there are others
The push with buyback of the current phone in this specific program is the increased need for phone recycling, which sprint currently leads in.
The crying over contract changes that happened 6 months ago or more is just silly. Premium customers received one last upgrade to be used by end of year.

Roaming within the US is free for you, but it isn't for them, and that's they key. They tolerate some roaming, but when you roam a lot, you aren't worth it to them as a customer anymore because you're costing them more than you're paying them.

I'm right there with you, man. I'm just hoping that between now and December of 2013 (when my VZW contract ends) Sprint can improve the strength of their network.
Why wouldn't you just ride out your contact or did they recently screw you over personally with something?
I'm going to milk unlimited as long as I can personally.

If you are unhappy and want out of a contract you agreed to, pay the ETF. It is the easiest and fastest method. Any other way is going to take more of your time and aggravation than what it is worth, pay the ETF and you are free to go where you want and you can be officially done.
What are the obvious reasons for leaving Verizon? It's a matter of time before unlimited data is cut from all carriers.

You signed a contract. You are legally obligated to to finish it out unless the contract is broken from the other side. If you are mad at Verizon for some reason like taking away unlimited, it is not a violation for them so you need to ride it out or pay the etf.

By roam do you guys mean "extended network"? I was in the middle of no where, basically, last week for court and my phone said extended network instead of Verizon. Was just wondering, that's what I assume anyway.
Also why don't you just pay the ETF? It's not like it's a thousand dollars. Do you have multiple lines or something?

I thought I remember hearing that depending how much time is left on contract the amount of the ETF may change. Eg: only have 2 months left (partial ETF) vs 1 year left (full ETF). Could be wrong, but worth checking into.

I live in the middle of an "extended network area" so I roam every day unless I travel for work. I have 4 phones on my plan, Verizon don't care.....
Oh only 10 a month off the ETF? Some do like so much for data and so much for voice but I guess they are all different lol.. How much is the ETF?
I pay the 11 some dollars a month for the TEP plan on my phones line, and I love the benefits. Since my first samsung moment dropped, I've probably had
3 replacement Samsung Moments
5 replacement EVO 4G's
5 replacement EVO 3D's
2 Replacement Blackberry Bold 9650's
I realize that's a lot of phones, but when you send out refurbed phones that were broken and then "repaired" what can you expect. I've honestly NEVER physically broken a phone to date (knock on wood), they've all suffered from software issues, or charging ports detaching etc.
Here's my question. I was talking to my friend last night, and he wants a new GS3 because of a superficial issue with his screen. I've had one or two phones replaced for some silly reasons, so I understand why he'd want a new one, but to date I've NEVER been charged for a phone replacement. They said it's a 150.00 fee for any kind of issues, and that's part of his TEP plan (He pays the 11.00 also).
Am I lucking out because I'm friends with all of the reps there? If there's a problem I walk into the store, ask for a replacement phone, they order one and I'm out of the store in 5 minutes and then the phones there tomorrow by 2pm. Can anyone chime in on this?

Even with the $10 added fee it's still cheaper than anyone else for unlimited data. It's not a big deal.
I see the fee as one for unlimited data - way cheaper for me than the other business models. So I'm willing to pay.
Unfortunately when you get less than 200kbps at best you still pay a premium data fee and who cares about unlimited data when your speeds are pathetic. My phone is basically useless unless I'm on WiFi. Sprint won't cancel your contract unless you're roaming excessively and costing them money.

A quick story about the fee being for smartphones. My daughter's EVO had a software issue that I couldn't fix so we went to the Sprint store and switched her temporarily to her old LG Optimus. The Rep was able to remove the $10 fee. So tell me how is this possible if you can still have a non 4g capable smartphone on the plan? I do agree though that it is cheaper than the alternatives.
No clue. I just know they add it to all smartphones whether they have 4g or not. As of over a year.
Last year the only android phone that didn't get the fee was the Samsung replenish which is a piece of crap of a phone.
Sprint changed the 4g fee in August 2010 to a premium data fee for Android, wp, and BB phones.
You must have gotten a good Rep then.

The problem is I had decent coverage until I moved to a more urban area and now my coverage absolutely sucks.
Spent a half hour on the phone today with a "technical support" rep who was just reading off her computer how to update my profile and other pointless things. Trying to blame my poor speeds on my phone. She wanted me to take my phone to a repair center until I told her it can't be my phone because all four of my phones are just as bad. She finally told me she would pass it down to the service techs in my area and call when they figure something out. They keep blaming it on an outage, but it has been this bad for over a year.

I am sick of peoples insistance that contract free is so great. If you live outside the USA, MAYBE, inside the USA that is not even close to true unless you A.) enjoy crap service B.) barely move C.) Never use your phone.
I would take AT&T or Verizon over any prepaid crap service and featureless "plan" any day of the week, hands down. I have tried many difference prepaid services and they are all the same, terrible spotty service, slow speeds, and hack call quality. Again this does not apply outside the USA, but here, prepaid is AWFUL.
I have no interest in swapping carriers, therefor I chose to use my upgrades and get free/discounted phones since I am going to continue to use AT&T anyway. My plan price does not go down if I do not, there is no advantage to me for not upgrading other than allowing to me to switch carriers.

It's also free via Sprint, for new lines and upgrades, but you need to use the holiday tab to get it free for upgrades.
I believe this is the correct link - http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/phone_wall.jsp?INTNAV=LP:SpecialOffers:LGG2MiniFree:120213

No not from Sprint. I tried and then call to order via phone and itis only for new customer or add a line. called locall Sprint store and same deal.
Best Buy has it free for upgrade.
That's a really good deal. And what he said I have no intentions of leaving Verizon so it I'm going to pay the same anyway might as well upgrade. I lost my unlimited and now I'm on the 6 gig plan. I average like 2 gigs a month so it was no big deal for me. My daughter average 30 gigs a month so she pretty much has to stay unlimited lol

Yea, if they offered this deal with upgraded, I'd be all over it.

You can be all over it from Best Buy. The have it free for upgrading as well.
I rushed to the Bestbuy store on BF for $49.99. Fought for parking space, waited in long line and now find out it's free.
I can only laugh at myself. Sad but laughable.

If you order any Verizon phone through Comcast's website, u get a $200 Visa card, free LG G2 and free activation.

Some of us don't care about being locked into a contract. Where I live Verizon's coverage is so much better than everyone else's that I'll gladly pay more for it. Also, Verizon is offering former unlimited customers 6 GB of data for the 2 GB price with no additional strings attached. So the little to no data usage part doesn't apply either.
Did the exact same thing. BF $49 and cyber monday free. I took my receipt to best buy and they credited back my card. It was simple and fast.
Ordered mine for $0. Added as a new line. I already have a S3 on unlimited. Planning to break the contract immediately after activation and pay $350 ETF. Pay 1 day prorated monthly charge. Profit :laugh::good:. Sell my S3 for $180-$200 on ebay. U cant get such a good phone for $350 and still retain unlimited.
Have chat transcripts with VZW reps..who said doing such a thing will only result in a $350 ETF!!

You can get the deal if you use the loophole. I just did it twice, once for my line and just this week for my wife's line.
We both had upgrades due on our unlimited lines. We have 5 lines total on a national family plan, 2 are feature phones & 3 are smartphones. I transferred our upgrades to the feature phone lines, got the g2's at the promo price, and activated the new phones on the former feature phone lines. Immediately reactivated the feature phones on their respective lines by dialing *228 which deactivated the new phones and automatically cancelled the mandatory data plans required by the upgraded devices. Now that both new phones are free from their original lines, I popped in our SIM cards which reactivated the new phones on our unlimited lines.
So, new phones for promo pricing and unlimited data retained=win/win.
