Okay,
So we went to Verizon and we were upgrading my phone (which is an added line, not the primary).
Both phones were 2 years old, and we were going to use the new every 2 discount to upgrade my phone.
The sales rep said we can't use the new every two discount on the added line, but we do get the discount pricing on the phone (so $99 for a Droid Eris after the mail-in rebate). Sadly they didn't offer any deviousness of switching which one was primary or anything...
but I was fine with that...
...until...
One of my friends is on the same family plan we're on. They upgraded four phones all for free (two enV Touches and two enV 3s). This wasn't with a buy one get someodd free deal. One was up in July, then August, then November, and then December.
This is my 3rd phone on Verizon (wow... 6 years), and I've always been told the New Every Two discount is only for the primary line while additional lines get the two-year contract discount price.
I'm kindof confused...
I went to the verizon FAQ, and it said that only the primary line qualifies, but unlike the sales rep we got, it says you can use the discount on another line...
So any help or advice? Should I call Verizon and see if I can get the discount applied since the sales rep said we couldn't? (It says the primary line has $100 off any phone...) (we'll probably just get a new phone for the primary line if we can't)...
I just want someone to explain why some people I talk to get the new every 2 discount on phones that are additional lines... I talked to some of my other friends, and they too get the additional discount on non-primary lines... Maybe I just get the wrong sales rep...
