The only thing that is new is the prorated etf
all of the other things are the EXACT same as current policy.
Except the free phone every two years is still as misleading as it ever was. The 100 credit has actually been reduced to 50 dollars for any line under 70 bucks and it still doesn't apply to share lines.
...
It's only reduced when a rebate is involved. For example why would Verizon allow someone $100 on equipment for a phone that is $50 after rebate. Verizon would be paying people for equipment...doesn't make good business sense.

Oh and the whole point to the $100 credit is to get you to buy a more expensive handset. That's really the only think that makes New Every Two worth it.

Actually, they're both new policies. I suppose you're refering to the early upgrade. The early upgrades are really strange in that no indirect agents can do them and retail stores don't really like to do them. The early upgrades also have certain stipulations, also. This will be something advertised and will help promote sales. For example, as sales reps, we're not suppose to tell someone who buys a phone on a 24 month agreement that they can upgrade in just 12 months but 22 months.

I have been doing the early upgrade thing for a while and I have never had a problem. The only problem is going to a store like Best Buy, they cannot do an early upgrade for you. But I have never had a problem upgrading my phone early.

Early upgrades are funny. They only reason that the retail stores hate doing them is that they are non-commissionable...Funny, but when Verizon places these new policies they don't give a damn about the employees and how it will effect how they get paid. I've seen it time and time again.
