Verizon Edge Program Question

[wdwmom0f3]

It has been out for a little while now. Does anyone here have it and do you like it? We can upgrade a few months early if I switch to it and of course my kids want me to. I just want the opinions of others before I do. Has anyone had any problems? I would like to hear anything about it.

It just lets you bring your own phone to Verizon service. I have 3 contract phones on regular Verizon and 1 on Edge because the cost of the cheapest phone was less than the early termination fee for that phone. DD lost her phone last year and I thought I bought the new one, which should not have extended the contract but it did. Still investigating that.
The Verizon rep says it is basically set up for people who like the latest and greatest phones and plan on buying new phones more frequently than once every 2 years. So it isn't a plan I normally would go with since I go with the phones they give you for free with a 2 year commitment.

Thank you!

I talked to Verizon because we have 5 lines with them right now, all iPhones. My kids want to do this plan and if I switch to it its going to cost me a little more per month. I'm already paying $320. I believe. She told me that it's basically $15 per line and so much a month per phone and after 20 months the phones will be paid off and you could upgrade OR your cost would go down because you would not owe on the phones anymore. It sounds good but I get real nervous dealing with this kind of thing and I wanted opinions on it. I am going to research it a little before I jump in.

i really hate dealing with cell phones and contracts. It drives me insane.

Yeah, we just switched to smartphones. My bill will be going from $130 a month for 4 lines to $225. Like I said 3 of the phones on contract, 1 on edge.
