will let me renew my contract a few days early? I will be out of town the day my contract is up and I don't want to pay $300 for a phone I can get for $70. Think they'd just laugh at me when I ask?

typically no, especially if you are renewing your contract, because that guarantees them more money.

However, if you wait until afterward, you will still be able to pay the same price for the phone, because they will want you to get another contract.

yeah, you can still trade in the phone for a discount on a new one



you know you COULD call them and ask

the gf's phone broke, and she still had a month or two left, she got a new phone for 50 bucks when she renewed.

I'm sorry, did that imply that I wasn't going to call? Holy shit you guys just love getting all hyped up over stupid shit.

I know I can afterwards, I just don't want to wait that long to get it since I've had this shit phone for 2 years.

this is why i love alltel...they let me renew my contract 2 months before it ended, and still get the discount on the phone

if you're going CDMA, alltel is soooooooooo much better than any other carrier, hands down

^ Verizon lets you renew your contract and get a new phone at the discount pricing two months before your contract ends also.

5/23/2007 1:47:59 PM

Yeah, that date is 6/29/07, I'm traveling that day.

yeah, as long as you extend your contract for another year or two from the renewal date, you can renew whenever you want

there is probably a verizon store in north myrtle

Can you get a new phone and activate it from any Verizon store or does it have to be the right area code? When ryan renewed his they had to get a local number before he could do it. I tried to upgrade then with him and they said I'd have to pay full price or wait til June 29th.

^ Def should be able to do it from anywhere

heck, I got my 304 number changed to a 919 # over the phone

5/23/2007 4:08:08 PM

call them you idiot

I've renewed mine in different states, you ought to be fine.

And to the morons who are trolling in chit chat, nobody calls a phone company with a simple question, and do you think they'd actually give her a straight answer? Calling the store and asking would have likely turned into a huge 'I'll put you on hold' fest.
