Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / March 2006Phone Book Transfer Between Phones---Free or $10 What is a "Merit" Customer
I recently got two new phones, moving from the V60s to the V276 (needed phones that are compatible with the Motorola Professional Hands Free Car Kit). One Verizon store charged me $10 for my phone book transfer. Another Verizon store didn't charge for my wife's phone book transfer, mumbling something about her being a "merit" customer. What is a Merit customer. > I recently got two new phones, moving from the V60s to the V276 (needed > phones that are compatible with the Motorola Professional Hands Free Car > Kit).

What is a Merit > customer. Someone who does not get charged for phonebook transfers:-)) Lou I eat my peas with honey. I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny. But it keeps them on my knife. Actually a Merits customer is someone who has been on a $79.99 plan or higher for the last 3 months.

According to the material they sent me I can upgrade a phone every 12 months at the lowest promo price but I would also need to renew the 2 year contract each time. This seems disingenuous since say I get a new phone every year for five years at that point I would have 5 years left on my contract. >> Actually a Merits customer is someone who has been on a >> $79.99 plan or higher for the last 3 months.

My understanding is that whenever you renew your contract the term is from the day you renew it. So you would never have more than 2 years left on your contract. -Quick > The only thing I don't understand about the "merits" plan is the early > upgrade.

I get the feeling that every time you renew, you start a new 2-year contract. i.e. with one year to go, you get a new phone and change to a new 2-year contract.

Sounds like a corporate acct so maybe she is. Lou > Sounds like a corporate acct so maybe she is. BINGO ! SignatureI work for the ILEC ...." stuff happens!

Click here and read the disclaimer: > https://merits.vzw.com/index.aspx?AC=1 i just bought a xv6700 sunday and they upped me to the 79.99 plan. When i went to get accessories 5 minutes later they said merit customers get 25% off and i got the discount. Recently upgraded my wife & daughter's phones at a VZW kiosk inside a Circuit City (Springfield, VA). They did the phonebook transfers for free (it never occurred to me that it would cost money--and I didn't ask). In fact, I asked about the xfer after having already paid for the new phones and had already signed the papers/charge slip. Perhaps that's the time to ask. :-) Good thing it was free, since they were rather imperfect transfers (not all of the numbers got transferred). I've never hear of "merit" customers. >I recently got two new phones, moving from the V60s to the V276 (needed >phones that are compatible with the Motorola Professional Hands Free Car >Kit).
