Well, got a 'response' from the email I sent earlier. Guess because I called and got told full retail is able to preorder, no need to put it in writing. I like the 'you are on the right plan' part.

Will account managers be able to go on their MyVerizon account and do the whole pre-ordering process?

Confirming - adding lines now means you can upgrade later

Just wanted to confirm that if you have an old phone or two laying around, VZ will allow you to add them on a month-to-month contract now, and they will be eligible to upgrade at the promotional price to the iphone on Thursday (2/3). Although you have to pay the activation fee now, you won't have to pay later when you upgrade to the 2-year contract.

The phone rep says he's been getting calls like that all day long...

What is the max number of lines you can have under a family account? (We already have 5).

Well thats too bad, oh well back to the original plan of pre-ordering at Full Retail. (I just better be able to)

I dont understand.... this is the impression I got to begin with as Im am eligible for a upgrade. We already planed on my wife having to wait until the 10th to pay full retail or add a line for her to get it.

You can preorder on the 3rd for full retail if you are a current verizon customer

pre-order iphone4

Only Verizon customers eligible for an upgrade can order on the 3rd for $199 with 2 year contract, all others on the 10th and then at full retail price if not eligible for upgrade.

I thought I posted this on here last night, but I guess not...

I spoke to a phone CSR last night who told me that ESN-swapping would NOT be supported for the iPhone (at least, not right away). This stands in contrast to what other phone CSRs have assured me over the last several days. She checked with her manager who backed up the story. She claimed it had to do with a "special Apple chip" which prevented a different number from being assigned to the phone.

I don't believe her 100%, but I'm preparing myself to have to start giving out a new phone number to friends and family...

What about those who are eligible for an upgrade and still have their "New every 2" discount. Is the $199 including the "new every two"?

No, if you have a NE2 credit it should be $99 16GB and $199 32GB
