I am looking to upgrade my S7E to the S8+. It says on the Verizon site I can upgrade since paid off 50%. If I buy the phone through Best Buy it is cheaper (extra $100 off). Can I do the upgrade still via Best Buy or would I end up buying it at Best Buy and then just sell it back to Verizon later? The monthly payment on S8+ will actually be $4 less than my current device payment plan

:cool: No doubt will be answers to your question, from other users in the
same situation..But I bet a Salesman from Best Buy is better
entitled to Help Upgrade from SGs7-E to Gs8+ to Verizon

To answer my own question yes. Online it connects to verizon and lets you choose upgrade. It needs your phone #, last 4 digits of SSN, and PIN.

I'm interested to know as well? I'm going to do a search, but is there really any difference from buying from BB or Verizon? Also interested in the S8, which is cheaper at BB. Will I be tied in or contracted then by BB other than the 24/mo. payment plan itself? Basically, if I paid off or sold the phone before the 2 years, what are the repercussions?

You can payoff at any time after the device ships. Some promotions where the credit is spread over 24 months may require 24 months to recouperate, and you might lose the remaining balance should you payoff early.
The dpp is done through Verizon regardless of where you bought it
