Motorola Q
Need Some Help Getting this for $199
I could be mistaken but I believe I read that people where getting for $199 by signing up for a data plan but customer service said no to that as well.
I want the phone but I'm not going to spend $419 to get it.
BTW (here comes the ranting).. It always surprises me that Verizon (or any phone company) is so unwilling to sell me a phone for $199 which would lead to retaining me for an additional two years as well as coming close to doubling my monthly access plan...
I'm no ...

Although I think I heard somebody once say that you could get 25% off full retail if you weren't yet eligible.
Check the earlier posts for this.
Well, after constant griping and asking for a supervisor, I got "an exception" and they allowed me to get the phone for 299. They still wouldn't do the 199 though. I also got a corp discount on my plan.
no matter what then do this:
1. sign up for a new line then switch the phone to your old line and put your current phone on the new line. On the 16th day cancel the new line and pay a $175 ETF. Depending on the phone you have now, let's say a razor, you can get 150-175 on eBay and that takes care of the ETF and final cost is 200.
If you want to keep them then do this:
2. Get the phone full retail and add the data package. It will be $319. Sell you phone, let's say a razor, for 150-175 on eBay. That will bring it down to like $150.
Both these options your still not under new contract so looks like a win win to me.
