Is the Droid Turbo and the Galaxy Note Edge the hot new phone on Verizon for a while? I just became eligible for a upgrade and my company will reimburse me for a new phone (up to $200) so I want to max it as much as possible.

Druid turbo or note 4 aren't bad choices though.

What's the expectation for S6 battery life? I'm about to get an upgrade available and the Turbo seems to dominate that category.

Does Verizon offer a monthly discount for bringing your own phone and not signing up for a two year contract?

tofes posted:Does Verizon offer a monthly discount for bringing your own phone and not signing up for a two year contract? Yes, the month to month discount, which is the same as the edge discount. $25 off when your data is (currently) 6gb or above, $15 when it's at 4 or below.

Deep Winter posted:That was a promotIonal plan, no longer available. I don't believe you should have to change plans when you upgrade. If 2 gigs is all you use, stay where you are. Not entirely true. They offered that to me as a loyalty plan a couple of days ago when I mentioned I was thinking about jumping ship.

If Verizon's not going to do the Nexus 6, is there a good Android phone that isn't a Galaxy? I'd like the least amount of bloat to turn off but mostly it's just the Samsung Edge stuff I'm not fond of. Edit: Also, is there a way to pay more towards phones you have on Verizon Edge?

Hey y'all, should I use my upgrade to get an LG G3 or a droid turbo? I'm coming from a Note 2 and while I'd love a Note 4, the sticker price is a bit too high, Basic googling seems to reveal that the G3 is a very good phone and a clear upgrade from my Note 2 but my brother suggested I take a look at the Turbo instead. I think the G3 is prettier and like the bigger screen size, though I'm aware it's a bit weaker on the battery. Not a big deal though and since it's $100 cheaper, I'm leaning towards it for sure. Any reason why I should spend a little more and get the turbo instead?

Really dumb question here, hope this is the best spot. My office at work is the dead middle of a 12 story building. When the wind blows the right direction, I get a cellular signal and/or my phone will ring when someone calls. Does Verizon make a device that is like a cellular signal repeater or amplifier? If so, where do I get one?

We do have a corporate plan with Verizon, however, for reasons, no action has been made in the past when this issue has been raised. I'm open to 3rd party solutions, if anyone has recommendations.

It'll actually get future updates for a bit. Keep in mind I defended the G3 in the other thread quite a bit. And I really liked my phone. It's just eh, I liked my Motos better honestly. Better build quality for sure.

Posted in the Choose a phone thread and was recommended here for better idea: Quick question. I'm looking at trading in my old iPhone for a Moto X. They quoted me $200. I've got some left on my edge agreement. Do they pay that with the phone? If so, do they remove the cost of the new phone from the quote? 2nd question: How does the trade work? Simultaneous shipping or they send mine as a separate transaction? It sounds like what I'd want to do but I have to figure out specifics as I don't want to be without a phone for 8 days or so. If possible, does Verizon do this at store if I don't mind a stock Moto X?

I just made the incredible discovery that I somehow still have an unlimited line despite being on my family's shared data plan. Allegedly this unlimited got nuked back in December when my Dad got a new phone and had to use my upgrade but I guess that wasn't the case. So given that, is it still even possible to upgrade phones on Verizon and keep unlimited? Also, anyone have any idea how many unlimited folks are still out there? I'm guessing it's less than 100,000 now since the plans haven't been offered in years and you have to really work at it to keep it. axeil fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Mar 4, 2015 |

Something really weird happened tonight. My mom (primary account holder on our family plan) called Verizon to get the insurance removed from my iphone 5. About a month ago I swapped my sim card from my moto x into the iphone with no issues. Apparently the guy helping her tried to access some details about my phone, and said there was an issue because my sim card wasn't valid. He claims Android sim cards aren't compatible with iphone sim cards. I told him that wasn't possible because I've been using it for weeks with that sim card. Whatever he did seems to have deactivated my sim card, because now when I try to call any number, I get a voice saying "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. Your number is either inactive or invalid." He told me I need to go to a store to get a new card, which is a huge inconvenience. Do you guys know how I can fix this?
