I recently changed my plan from 900/$60 to 450/$40. As expected this didn't
negatively impact my "New In Two" date (6-14-08). However, before I made
this change I was being offered discounts on phone upgrades with 2 year
contract renewal on the web site. Now the "discount with contract renewal"
offers are gone and the phones show only much higher "no contract" prices.
Can anyone explain what's going on here? TIA

You mean "New Every Two"? You SURE that change didn't affect the NE2
date?

Call Verizon and ask.

You were eligable for an early upgrade before you changed your price
plan level. This is after 12 months of a two year contract on a price
plan of $49.99 or higher. having gone down in price plan level, you
no longer qualify for the early upgrade.

Early upgrade is okay, but it comes with a $20.00 fee and you don't
get the New Every two discount. If you can wait until 6/14, you will
be much better off. Not that you have much of a choice at this
point. You would need to be on the higher price plan for three months
to regain the early discount again, and at that point you would have
already been eligable for the ne2 discount.

Thanks for confirming how this works.
