2 bolts from wirefly!!!!

[Relik]

Just got off the phone with wirefly!!! Ordered 2 bolts for 399.98!!! Wouldve cost me 535.00 at the verizon store!!! Spoke to a lady in India who was very nice but kept trying to sneak in the car charger, screen wipes and screen protectors after telling her no numerous times!!! I wouldve ordered online but for some reason it said i couldnt upgrade one of my lines which i knew was eligible...the rep got a supervisor on the line who was able to upgrade it for me....only downside is i have to wait until probably monday but whats a few more days???....another thing is that you cant downgrade your plan for 6 months or even move the phone to another line but fortunately i wont have any issues with that....unless you HAVE to have your phone on thursday, i would definitely recommend wirefly....my total was $426, which included 2 rubberized cases for $12.99 each

Why can't you move the phone to another line? That sounds absurd. Simple call to Verizon and the ESNs are changed. I've never heard that before.

It has to do with how Wirefly gets paid.. if you switch your plan verizon won't pay Wirefly their residual and in turn Wirefly will charge you a fee

...its how Wirefly can sell it for $50 less that verizon

More power to ya! Not going to get any cheaper than that for a while.

I take a slightly different approach. I prefer not be locked into a contract and receive no further device discount eligibility for 20 months. I like to pay a bit more upfront on a "1 year" contract, and 10 months later when I'm out of contract, sell the phone for the same price I got it for to folks locked up in contracts that want a different phone. They buy mine cause it's quite a bit cheaper than full MSRP. I've recouped all my "revolving phone fund" and start all over again with a brand new to market device for 10 months. My phones are kinda free in a weird sense

got an email from wirefly this morning saying that they cancelled my order on one of my lines because verizon said i couldnt upgrade that line!!! so i logged in and cancelled my whole order!! looks like i will be at verizon like everyone else tomorrow paying the 500+ for both phones anyway!! haha

It's not just any old fee -- it's a rediculous amount, like $350 or something. That's how they make their money.

There was a thread yesterday on here, warning about buying from them.

wirefly sucks anyways thats crap if you change the phone to another line on your account they charge you 250$ blah

I saved over $150.00! I switched from Sprint because my wife - eventually - wants the new iPhone 5(?) and I refuse to go with AT&T. For now, she didn't want to pay for a phone. Wirefly had the TB for $199 ($249 through Verizon), and the Incredible for FREE ($99 through Verizon).

Wirefly ported our numbers, and I paid the extra $20 to have our phones on Friday.

Winning!

just better hope that iphone5 doesnt drop within 6 months or if it does and even if you buy it outright for full price if she drops that incredible off her account then they will charge you 250$ lol

Thankfully, she said she'd want it as a Christmas gift. By that time we'll be out of the 6 month requirement.

that is good cause I think the ipones usually come out over the summer (not sure but thought I read that somewhere)
