Off contract, add to bill?

[northnorth]

I would really like to pick up this phone Friday, does anyone know if Verizon would just add it to my bill?

If you ask they will most likely say yes.

On-contract, sure.
Billing the full retail price, no chance.

There's a $400 credit maximum, and that's only if you've been a customer for a year or more and have paid every bill on time.

I see. Thanks!!

Not true. They will allow you to split the payments between your bill and a card.

Also it will not show up until the next month's bill.

I keep reading you guys saying that but, when I bought the Bionic I had only been back with Verizon for about four months. They let me put the Bionic with accessories on my bill, worth over $600.00

I'm now wondering if it has to do with me being a long time customer before this present period with them, activating the same number and, of course never being late on my bill during both periods. Edit: I forgot I activated the Xoom back in March.

False, I bought a thunderbolt full retail and added it to my bill and it was $589+tax....

I sent Verizon an e-mail because I was wondering the same thing. If you read their web site it states that if you have 3 lines (which I do) you can charge up to $750 to your account. However the CSR that called me back in response to my e-mail said they look to make sure you have paid on time the last three months and
if so then you can charge up to $400 of equipment to the account.

I'm planning on splitting the cost. I will charge half to my account and pay the other half out of pocket. I'm pretty sure the Nexus will hold it's retail value so I don't think I will lose too much by paying full retail, plus I get to save my upgrade!
