how to renew without really renewing

JackPKA1

Sep 6, 2006, 3:37 PM
I just got the Q (with the new every 2) but Im not too happy with it...so Im thinking I'll take my boyfriend's Treo 650 without renewing my contract.

So when something else comes out, I'll be able to use the $100 towards something else.

Does anyone know how I would go about doing this?

Thanks!

How do I change ESN numbers without letting verizon know...what should I say? Or can I just say the new ESN number with the Treo and not have renewed my contract?

this is confusing...

Thanks

If you used your NE2 to get the phone then I think you already renewed for 2 more years and I don't know how you would get out if it.


As for changing phones, I don't think you need to worry about what you tell verizon. You can activate the phone yourself on line. I don't think it should impact when you get your next NE2. I did that with my primary line because my wife broke the phone. Then I bought one from e-bay and activated it. My NE2 elegibility came up when it should.

Good luck.

also since you are past the 15 days return period. then you are know in a 2 year contract and only way out is to pay 175.00 etf fee. but if you want to put the treo on your line. just call csr and have esn change done.

That's correct, after 15 days, the new contract is in effect, even if there was time left on the old contract. The old contract is voided out once you buy a new phone a promotional pricing (whether NE2 is used or not), and 15 days have passed on the trial period. For me, my next NE2 is 05/01/2008, which in one way I'll be happy, but in another way, I won't because I'll only be eligible for up to $50 toward my next NE2, since I have the $39.99 plan. All I can say is that if I want a free phone next time around, then there better be a phone that's priced around $100 with a $50 r...

return your phone that you just got ne2 on. have them put you back to plan you had. which should make you month to month/no contract. if you was at 24 month period of you contract. then you can have esn number change to put the treo on your line. but it will have to be done by customer service. and it also will require a data plan. and you dont want the pay as you go plan. because if there is a program on phone that does updates to anything, it will run you bill up very fast.so you will want to either get the unlimited or the other one web site shows. or if you are not going to use the phone to get on net. then have them put a block on all data usage.
