sellouts posted:Yeah I can’t say having a phone stolen or go missing is something that has happened since the iCloud stuff was rolled out in either organization I’ve worked for, which is anecdotal but across over 100 people. That's cool, I had one stolen after the iCloud lock and it didn't get recovered, so there's a counter anecdote. It's not like they're worthless - they can still be harvested for parts. (This is not to be for or against Verizon insurance. That's up to the individual. My renter's insurance covers lost/stolen phones so Verizon's isn't necessary to me.)

"Refurb" doesn't matter for sale/trade-in since it's either new or not. I would recommend getting it unlocked by AT&T and selling it on Swappa. You can probably still get like $100 if the screen is fine.

The iPhone and Pixel will both work on Verizon, but I would be very surprised if the S7's would.

I'm not sure you should hold your breath for iPhones SE to come back in stock. They're not being sold by Apple, so I doubt resellers are going to be getting any. Even with that in mind, I believe prepaid Verizon phones have to be activated on prepaid for 90 days or something before you can move it to postpaid (Duckman2008 would have a better idea there). There's not really any phones at all in that size that are worth noting beyond maybe some Sony that's going to be substantially more expensive. I hate to say it, but she probably needs to suck it up and at least get an iPhone 7.

I have roughly half my device payments to go on my iPhone X. If I leave Verizon, the balance is due immediately, correct?

Got a question: I'm currently on the Verizon Unlimited plan for $80/month, which includes the $5 autopay discount. I see the current Beyond Unlimited plan now offers free Apple Music and is $85 including the autopay discount. As far as I can tell, these plans are otherwise equivalent. Is this correct? I use around 10-15 GB of data per month, so the 22 GB soft cap is fine either way. In any case, I use Apple Music, so saving another $5 a month would be nice, but I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I'm missing.

Seems to have worked for me. I switched plans through the app, cancelled Apple Music in iTunes, then signed up in the Verizon app. When I clicked the link, it took me to the Apple Music app which told me I now had two subscriptions on my account and to cancel one (which I already did, but that one's good for another couple weeks). Cool. Now I can afford Starbucks once per month.

I just wish there was an easy plan comparison. As far as I can tell Play Unlimited is the same as Beyond Unlimited for $5 cheaper and you can get free 5G if you're dumb enough to buy a 5G phone?

Duckman2008 posted:Old plan: Beyond Unlimited: $90, $85 with autopay. unlimited, 22GB premium data, 15GB hotspot, 720 video, Apple Music includes.  I realize this is all intentionally confusing, but it really just looks like I get 3GB more fast data and pay $5 less. (Also BIG HEADLINE is very right that even comparing plans is really bad UX and makes it look like you're changing without an actual confirmation.) EDIT: Reddit put together a useful chart on if you should switch. It seems clear that if you're on Beyond you should switch to Play or Do, but if you're on Above it's less clear. https://www.reddit.com/r/verizon/comments/cl8trx/new_plans_should_you_switch/ Endless Mike fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Aug 6, 2019 |

Yo Duckman: what does adding a tablet to my account cost and what do I get? I'm considering getting a cellular iPad Pro, and want to be able to add it and remove it as necessary, if possible. Does it come out of my regular data or is it a separate cap? I can't find any info on it at all. I have one of the current unlimited plans.

My partner and I are moving in together in the near future and are looking at ways to reduce our costs and simplify bills and such, and are talking about getting a combined plan. I'm currently on Verizon and she's on AT&T. It would likely be simpler for her to move to my plan just because I have a year left on my phone payments, while hers is paid off. She has an iPhone 8 which I *think* she should be able to just pop a Verizon SIM in and it'll work, but worst case, she can trade it in or use my old iPhone X. (I told her we should wait for new iPhones, regardless, since carriers may be offering trade-in deals or whatever). Anyway, are there any deals to be had? She needs unlimited everything, but beyond that doesn't really much care. I have one line on Play More Unlimited. Looking at the website, it looks like it would be $70 per line for the same plan.

Duckman2008 posted:Does she want the new iPhones ? An iPhone 8 trades in for $850 towards a Pro or Pro max, plus you get a $150 gift card (as long as you do Play unlimited for both). Truthfully, I don't think she cares and would be perfectly content to not pay any extra money for a new phone as she is, in her words, rough on phones and would rather just wait it out until she inevitably breaks this one lol. That's a really good promo, though.

Okay, so: My partner is likely going to switch from AT&T to my account. If I open the Verizon site not logged in, it offers a free iPhone 12 via a $550 trade-in (she currently has an iPhone 8. so should be fine) and a $250 switching bonus using a promo code. (There's also a promo for a copy of the Avengers video game which would be cool.) When I log in, it only seems to offer the former, and it doesn't seem to accept the promo code. Does the switching promo only work for brand new accounts, not switching to a new line on an existing account?

There are no other SMS/MMS apps on iOS. iOS sandboxes SMS/MMS to iMessage. Unless you mean messenger apps more broadly, in which case, good luck!

maduin posted:I realize the answer is probably, 'Eh, who knows!?' but how likely is it that Verizon keeps this $700 device trade-in deal around after the new iPhones are released? We just moved and need to drop AT&T for Verizon, but I'd rather not buy an iPhone 12 right as it's about to be obsoleted. The answer is probably 0%, but I hope it's 100% since I am in the same boat. I'll still take whatever they'll give me for my iPhone X, though.

So, Apple will give me $700 off an iPhone 13 Pro with trade-in of my iPhone X, and use the Verizon monthly payments (to bring it down to $9.99/month for 30 months). Is it safe to assume Verizon will have a similar deal if I order direct from them? I have something like $150 in device dollars I'd like to use, but if there's not as good a deal, I'll just order from Apple (but it seems strange that Verizon wouldn't offer the same deal) and use the device dollars on a Watch or something.

Duckman2008 posted:So here’s a new thing. FYI Verizon is opening up for online (and only online) preorder….before the preorder for the 13. Starting at 1201am Thursday, you can place an online preorder for whichever one, and if I’m ready it right it basically queues your pre order up where it does not go through Thursday, but then auto processes on regular pre order time which I believe is Friday at 8am eastern. This isn't working. It's not 12:01 PST or something is it? Guess I'll check again in the morning.

I usually get the device dollars. I had $145 by the time I upgraded, and between that and the trade-in promo, my phone was like $150. Speed will vary based on about a billion factors, but you know that. I just tested at 300 Mbps down in my house which is plenty fast for anything I do on my phone.

Can I call VZW Customer Service and get a trade in started after the transaction? Best Buy trade-in is not Verizon trade-in, is the long and short of it.
