upgrade question 2

i am getting a new every two upgrade on the fourth of October.

my brother has verizon as well and not long ago his phone took a dive into a pond. it works but is buggy.

i got an add in the mail saying that if you buy the new samsung fascinate. you get any other phone free..[of equal value of course.]

also you would half to re-sigh a new two year.

so i was wondering. can i buy the samsung then choose as my free phone the droid x. and then swap with my brother since he really wants the samsung and i want the droid x.

i read the fine print and it said nothing about the applying only to new customers. just two year contract sign up.

just wondering if i can do this for him..if not he's on his own!

You would have to have two upgrades available. Does he have an upgrade? The two lines may also have to be on the same account but I don't think that will really be an issue.

You need to have 2 eligable lines (or activating 2 new lines) on the same account.

Unless your brother is on your account or you are on his, you can't take this deal.

BOTH phones require a new contract signing, and they need to be in the same person's name

Was this a corporate VZW ad or some other retailer? All the pricing I've seen says you only get the one-free if they're both Fascinates.

If not, I'll go get me a Droid2 and a Fascinate tomorrow! 🤤

It's supposed to be a BOGO not a BOGA deal (online and in stores) but I think some people are making it a buy one get any deal.

TV ads during the NFL this weekend show BOGA.

maybe it's regional then?

All the stuff I've seen for it in the northeast show it as BOGO. I hate bogo sales.. they're great for business, but I think I spend more time explaining why they can't keep the second phone as a "spare" on their single line than I do making sales.

I think Verizon is stupid for doing a bogo on phones like the fascinate and Droid x. You can't keep them in stock and you want to give away an extra $200?

Yeah that too.. Droid2's we have because everyone is coming looking for the X.

But why Bogo something when you can't keep it in stock to begin with? That is throwing $199 a way every single sale

Don't see many reviews at all on the Droid 2? Being sold? Being returned? What is the deal with that one - yay or nay?

Most people I know with it really like it.

(My brother has one). and according to Verizon it has the lowest return rate/dropped call rate of any smartphone theyve sold.

I just finished ordering the Fascinate and a Droid 2 on the website and it came out to just over $200 total, so I got my Droid 2 for free.

Time to finally kick my old 9530 to the curb. The only real question now is which one do I keep for myself and which one do I give to my wife... 😁

Let's be realistic. She'll let you know which one she's keeping. 😉

So...does one of the phones have to be the Fascinate?

Yes, one of the phones in a BOGA like this has to be the fascinate.
