I read this site in conjunction with Boy Genius, so I see the discounts that come through. However, my situation doesn't quite fit whom they have listed as eligible for these discounts.
Here is my situation:
My husband and daughter are currently on a VZW family plan. I am on TMO and my contract is up soon. I plan on joining the family plan. I was going to wait until February, but some of the recent discounts coming through sound too good to pass up.
Verizon is offering some kind of "add a line to an existing family plan" discount where they are offering to credit 9.99 a month for the full term of the contract.
Amazon also came out with a 1 cent offer on most of the popular Droid handsets. When I went over there, there was not a way to select that I am a new customer who wants to join an existing plan. I also have heard that Amazon has additional requirements they pile on top of these offers.
So there does not seem to be a way to get the discount for my situation. I have seen other offers here as well, though again, my situation is not represented.
Does anyone know a way around this? I would rather not have to pay 199 for a 3G phone when LTE handsets are probably just around the corner. If I am not eligible now, then I might as well wait until February and get the rumored HTC Merge that has taken on mythic proportions.
Any help is appreciated.
