Alright, I got a really good one for you.

I just had a customer come in with a letter from Verizon recommending he upgrade because his phone isn't GPS capable. I told him he'd have to upgrade his plan as well and he decided to keep his phone because he liked his plan!

Wait... that wasn't funny at all. ☹️

See that's where I'm confused.
Sorry off topic.
Everyone seems to be under the impression that if your customer wants to up grade and they are on a out of date play they must change their plan. Has something changed.
My understanding is that once they get off it, they can never get it back, but they CAN stay on their old plan as it is grandfathered.
Just yesterday I ran an upgrade through eroes and kept the customer on a old plan.
I've done it several times, even through customer service when eroes is messed up.
Am I missing something?
even my boss was arguing with me on this saying i didn't know what I was talking about and it wasn't possible.

I think it depends on how old the plan is. At my store we can keep them on the same plan as long as the plan allows for the new equipment. I have had a couple instances last week where I had to change the plan in order for them to get the new equipment. But for the most part the customer can stay on their current plan for as long as they want and they don't necesarily have to change it.

haha yea if you live anywhere around the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area you would know exactly which mall I work at by my user name.

Anyways, I have had a couple people get pretty heated with me because they were told they never have to change their plan. It's true in theory i guess, but like everything in life there are exceptions to the rule.

yeah, I know what you mean.
No, I know exactly what mall you're talking about. Infact I think I'm you're co-worker (just b/c this is what we always refer to that mall as).
I still tell customer they may not be able to, but a certain someone keeps telling me that i'm wrong and it's not possible even though i've done it so many times.

It was a $20 plan. If the plan is under $34.99 VZW won't pay us for the upgrade. Thus, no discount for the customer.

Certain plans can't be kept for us... If it has a secondardy line that is free, they have to change.

They also have to change if they have one of the really old plans of 16.99 or 19.99, not because the company is greedy (well maybe), but most of the old plans are tdma only, and a gsm phone won't work on it.
