I asked them about it and they informed me that you only get the $15 or $25 edge discount while Paying on a phone. If you pay off the phone you lose the discount. After talking to the Verizon rep she informed me she could give me a month to month discount of $25. So I will be paying $15 a month on a line that is not under contract and doesn't have a phone financed on edge.
Give them a call and see what they are willing to do for you.
OK, so it seems like the official policy is that VZW won't give the discount unless the phone is financed through Edge, but you may be able to work something out if you call in to customer service. This isn't something that I'm willing to try because I typically receive the worst treatment from VZW when I do have to deal with them.
I have a prepaid phone (I activate it for travel purposes only) and postpaid tablet on VZW; I'm not willing to try VZW for postpaid phone service because I don't trust them at this point.
Edited to add: I see that Verizon Wireless has added "bring your own" to the wording for the discounted per line fee on their web page.
