Online Order vs In-Store Pickup

[gamby]

does anyone know if corporate discount rates apply to online purchases?

In case you missed it, you can use code PRMCD10 to get 10% off your online order. I will be buying 2 phones also and am a new Verizon customer, so I am going take a chance and order on Friday the 16th so I can get free activation on both lines. The code will save me $40 and the free activation saves $60. Worth waiting an extra couple days vs. in-store IMHO.

usually about 2 weeks for mail in rebates from past experience. They actually come really quick faster then most would expect

If you have access to the general VCAST program, you'll want to download Back-Up Assistant and run it.

It's ludicrous that the store told you they would charge you $35 to transfer contacts, especially considering you're already a customer...I'd talk to a manager/supervisor about this if I were you.

If your phone is truly a dated dumb-phone, and you can't access the program, than you will have to manually input contacts into the "X". If you have to go this route, I'd start saving them to a Gmail account.

It took a download to update my phone, but once I did that I found the BackupAssistant and now my contacts are backed up online! Thank you very much for the help. Now I think I'll proceed with the online purchase and tell VZW I'm keeping my $35, thankyouverymuch!!

ETA - Just surfing the VZW website, they also have the instructions for activating your phone. Sweet! I'm just not a techno-geek, at all <sigh>. There sure is a lot of stuff out there, though, if you just take the time to look.
