Droid just $99 at BestBuy now

[GenericMessage]

Anyone purchase from wirefly using a phone upgrade/contract extension from Verizon? I have a family plan with 3 lines, just want to update mine, but if I select family plan it tries to sell me multiple phones. I'm afraid to proceed with just a single phone plan, I don't want wirefly to change my current Verizon family plan just because of this droid purchase. How does that process work? Any chance the local store might price match BB or Wirefly?

I know BBY won't match prices of online competitors.

just add 2 more droids at the $49. They will try to process all of the Droids through verizon and will get a message saying only one of your lines is available and will cancel the other two.

At least thats what bestbuy did for me when i tried to buy two droids.

looks like Amazon has the $49.99 upgrade as well, the verification/upgrade process they use seems a lot more comfortable to me. It verifies your line is eligible for upgrade, specifically says it only changes rates for the single line you're upgrading, not the entire family plan. I'm going with Amazon on this upgrade, my local VZW store wants $299 for the same phone.

What do you mean Tackleberry? Have you found it for cheaper then $99 without a rebate?

Meant if you were to go down to Best Buy store is it also $99.00 or was that just online only?

I got the droid from best buy too best price at a brick and motar without having to pay $ 299 and wait a few weeks for a rebate
The price is for both online and the store but if you buy the phone online you are really getting the phone through a 3rd party seller

So, I'm on a family plan and we have a early upgrade. I have to go through the Verizon store to do this though, or am I reading right that I could do the upgrade through amazon/bestbuy and get the phone for this price? Thanks!

Here's my question...

I bought my Droid on Feb 13 from Verizon for $299 (w/ $100 rebate) and I now see that it is on sale for $49.99 on Amazon.com.

Now since I am within my 30-day return window, can I simply return my Droid to Verizon and cancel my $30 data plan (without an early termination fee since I'm within the 30-day window) and then purchase the Droid from Amazon and once again add the $30 data plan.

If I cancel with Verizon, will Amazon quickly recognize that I'm again due for a contract renewal and hence get the $49.99 price for the Droid?

I meant that I bought mine at a BB store, as opposed to online.

Danny, I don't see any reason why you could not pull that off. I did essentially the same thing earlier this month. Just make sure that the people at the store reset your account correctly.

Perfect. Nice to see that this worked for you as well. I think I'm going to give it a shot.

 

[jdotcarter]

so they dont charge a restocking fee or anything like that? I bought mine from the website but would consider returning it now that the incredible seems to be making progress to VZ

 

[Jack Burton#AC]

I can't speak for verizon and restocking fees, since I bought my eris from BB. However, if the fee is only $35 or so, you still come out ahead.

 

[jdotcarter]

yeah i got mine from BB too. do they have a restocking fee?

Just bought my Droid a about an hour ago off of Amazon for $49. Unfortunately with my upgrade date being on a Friday they say I won't get my phone until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week . Oh well I'd rather wait on it since it was so cheap instead of walking into a Verizon store and spending $299 up front and having to deal with rebate forms.

I bought my wife a Droid about 2 weeks ago at BestBuy for $199. I saw this thread yesterday, brought back the receipt and they refunded me the $100 difference.

They'll do that with anything within 14 days.

One of the better things about purchasing phones from BestBuy

That, along with getting the instant $100 rebate.

Also, BB does not have a restocking fee.

I know the new 2-year contract price is $99. How much is it for a new 2-year upgrade at Best Buy?
