Is VZW letting others upgrade before their time is up?

[wgc19136]

My son was having all kinds of problems with his phone today so he called VZW and they told him he could upgrade his phone even though he isn't eligible until 5/2012.

He asked the person on the phone a couple of times and they said he could upgrade free so he upgraded to the Iphone 4 for $199.

Are there a lot of problems with Droid 2 that they are letting people upgrade before they are eligible?

Just curious

Sometimes they will allow u an early upgrade if you convince them enough. Its usually a one time deal and usually u need to be about 18-20 months into your contract.

Also what type of phone did he upgrade from? I bet they are more willing to upgrade u at discount price if your coming from a feature phone to a smart phone. Get u locked into that tiered data crap..

That's good for him. There is a couple if ways to get a new phone a the discount price. I've gotten then on an early upgrade one time I even got one because the sales person. Reported lost/stolen and the let me upgrade. It depends in how nice/friendly you are to customer service.
