Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / April 2007Use New-Every-Two on FamilyShare 2nd line?
I currently have a 2-line FamilyShare plan and the contract is up. My phone is the primary line, and my wife's phone is the second line. Our two-year contract is up, and we are eligible for the New-Every-Two discount. I no longer need my phone. I would like to "downsize" our plan to a single line, but I'd like to have the single line be my wife's phone number, and I'd like to use the New-Every-Two to upgrade her phone. Is this something that VZW is going to allow? Has anyone done something like this recently? I just worry about the red-tape of using the New-Every-Two which is probably "attached" to my phone number, but then telling them that I want to cancel that line. Chris That shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind you are signing up for another two year contract when you get the new phone > I currently have a 2-line FamilyShare plan and the contract is up.

If your new phone replaced an existing phone, it wouldn't cost $10 more per month, but if this is a new phone and additional number, it would cost an additional $10 per month > My contract was just up and I purchased a new phone on ebay V3c for $100 > and now I dont have to pay $10 more each month for 200 more minutes I dont [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >>> >>> Chris Verizon allows NE2 for the primary number only on a family share plan. If you want to use NE2 for the secondary line, there is a way to get around it. First, you have to get the new phone on your primary line, then after 24 hours you can have it transferred to the secondary phone. They will want to charge you 20 or 40 to reactivate but if you phone in and tell them what you really want to do in advance, they may waive the reactivation fee. m-m What's that got to do with the $10 per month charge that Montano's talking about? > Verizon allows NE2 for the primary number only on a family share plan. > If you want to use NE2 for the secondary line, there is a way to get [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > m-m I was replying to the original poster. m-m > What's that got to do with the $10 per month charge that Montano's talking > about?

This seems strange...we have had a family share plan for over four years with my wife's phone being the primary line and mine the secondary one. We have both received the NE2 twice during that period. For information...what I understand NE2 to be, is $100.00 credit toward a new phone with a new 2yr contract. Are we talking about the same thing? > >Verizon allows NE2 for the primary number only on a family share plan. > >If you want to use NE2 for the secondary line, there is a way to get [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > a new phone with a new 2yr contract. Are we talking about the same > thing? That's what NE2 is, I believe. I was told it does not apply to a line you are only paying $9.99/month for. But I jumped through the hoops and got the new phone to be on the second line. And I cannot use NE2 for another 2 yrs, so if my (primary) phone dies before then, I will have to pay the extra hundred. Signaturem-m I have a family share plan, with four phones on it. I pay $10 per month for each additional phone after the first two. On the VW website it lists all my phones and the dates at when I can buy new phones (with contracts) at discounted prices for each of them >> >Verizon allows NE2 for the primary number only on a family share plan. >> >If you want to use NE2 for the secondary line, there is a way to get [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > line.

There is a difference. Signaturem-m >Yes, discounted prices. Not NE2 save $100 prices. There is a difference. Please explain the difference. My understanding is that NE2 means you receive a $100 credit toward a new phone. The difference between that and the cost of the new phone, if it exceeds $100, with a new two year contract is borne by the customer. If the phone cost is equal to or less than $100 it is basically free except for applicable taxes. If the phone cost is equal to or less than $100 it is > basically free except for applicable taxes. I ordered my NE2 phone on line! Free!! No rebates, no shipping and no tax!! SignatureDiving is life! The rest is just details.

That is the way we have done ours for the past several years. No activation fees either. Plan on doing that when I decide on my new smartphone (Q or XV-6700 unless something new comes along in the next couple of months). > Plan on doing that when I decide on my new smartphone (Q or XV-6700 > unless something new comes along in the next couple of months). The XV-6800 will be replacing the 6700 probably this summer. Essentially it's the Windows Mobile 6 version of the 6700. IIRC, the Q won't be replaced with a newer model, it'll have a WM6 firmware upgrade available.

Anytime you extend your contract you are eligible for an upgrade discount. from VZW: "By extending your contract, you may qualify for a discounted price, depending on when you last purchased a new phone at a discounted price, and your contract term. - Customers on a one-year contract may upgrade at a discounted price after 10 months. - Customers on a two-year contract may upgrade at a discounted price after just 22 months. Plus, if you're currently enrolled in our New Every Two program*, you will be eligible for an additional discount with a two-year contract extension. You may always choose to upgrade without extending your contract at full retail price." Signaturem-m >> >Yes, discounted prices. Not NE2 save $100 prices.

See below. >from VZW: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >You may always choose to upgrade without extending your contract at full >retail price." NE2 gets you $50 or $100, depending on the amount of your monthly service. http://support.vzw.com/features/calling_features/new_every_two.html How to Get It You are automatically enrolled in our New Every Two program when you sign up for a two-year agreement on a calling plan with a monthly access of $34.99 or higher. If you maintain service on a calling plan of $34.99 or higher and fulfill your two-year term, you will qualify for a free phone. If your calling plan monthly access is $79.99 or higher for the entire three months prior to completing your New Every Two phone upgrade, you will get up to $100.00 toward the purchase of that phone. If your calling plan monthly access was between $34.99 and $79.98 at any time during the three months prior to completing your New Every Two phone upgrade, you will get up to $50.00 toward the purchase of that phone. When completing your New Every Two upgrade, you will need to renew your agreement for another two years on a calling plan with a monthly access of $34.99 or higher. You must retain the same wireless handset for 24 months in order to receive the full advantages of this program. If you choose to replace your handset at a discounted price, you will forfeit your benefits and be automatically reenrolled if you meet the requirements of the program. |
