On Consumer Cellular (piggybacks on AT&T network) Want iPhone 7 upgrade program. Can one sign up for a Verizon account, preorder the 7, pick up the phone at the local store, walk out, cancel the Verizon account within 14 days, activate phone on the Cellular One network, and remain in the upgrade program?

Referring to the Apple Upgrade program? Possibly! You'll need to ask them that question, I believe some folks want to do that, there IS some benefit to owning the Verizon or Sprint model as they have the CDMA AND GSM radios (and all LTE), as the T-Mobile & At&T models JUST have GSM radios (and LTE) I've seen bloggers recommend folks get the Verizon model, BUT I don't know what Apple actually allows with regards to the upgrade program. Obviously if you buy it outright you can do whatever you want, BUT the upgrade program may be different.

This blog says after 12 months you can choose a new carrier...
