New Plan and Phone Q??

alphabets

Feb 10, 2005, 7:57 AM
i started a new 2 yr contract in october, and it looks like i will need a larger plan. from what i heard if i go to a higher pan it will extend my contract. does that mean i have to sign a new contract? if so, does that also mean i should be able to get another phone at a dicounted 2 yr plan price?

i got the 6100 in october and i am kinda iffy about it. much better than the T720 i had before, but still not thrilled about it. looking at one of the big 3, probably the 8000. thanks.

your contract and NE2 work on 2 separate timelines. your NE2 date will stay the same but your contract will be extended. you dont need to resign anything, they just extend it. and do it soon if you are going to so your contract doesnt go for too much longer.

NO. You do NOT have to sign a new contract at all. You can raise or lower the minutes in your price plan at any time without extending your contract term. Be aware of pro-rates, though. As long as you aren't talking about taking advantage of the new promotional pricing, you'll be fine. And no, you most definately don't get any discount on a new phone if you just bought one in Oct. 04.

I renewed my contract last October for 2 years. Last night I called up to change my plan to the new promotion. Because I renewed only in October I did not have to agree to an extended contract.

It really depends on where in the US you reside, what plan you currently are on, what plan you're planning to siwitch to, and what type of contract you signed in Oct 04 ( 1 or 2 year).

So, if you can provide this info I can tell you an accurate answer. To find out the exact title of your calling plan you would have to look on your bill, it's under your "service profile."

Thanks for the info.

Since your contract end date is greater than 1 yr away (10/2006) a contract extension is not required for the new calling plan.

I apologize that you no longer like your phone, you did have 15 days to decided and you opted to keep the phone. The phone is covered under mft warranty, you can call LG to see what they'll do or u can participate in the express exchange program at a corporate store.

ok great. as for the phone, i think that firmware upgrade will fix most of the things i'm not happy about, as long as my local verizon has the upgrade. thanks.
