Just curious if there will be a one year contract option for the iphone.
Apparently not.
I would assume it would be the normal $70.00 more than the 2 year deal...
if I can't get a 1 year deal on the iPhone, I think I'll hold off..
It was mentioned at the announcement that it would only be available on a two-year contract or at full retail.
When purchasing iPhone 4 at the two-year promotional price, a new agreement is required. However, you will also have the option to purchase iPhone 4 at full retail price, which will not require you to sign a long-term agreement.
Currently there is no information on a 1 year price option for the iPhone 4.
Noah, does that mean they wont be available as an option, or just that pricing for them is not ready to be announced yet?
So.. basically it's get locked into 20 months thanks to you guys getting rid of annual upgrades, or pay $599...
No thanks..
So, when I buy a new Verizon iPhone I will be paying for the phone which has already past half way of its product cycle. I will be paying for the phone which is about 7 months old when it is released. So verizon iPhone custometrs will be off of iphone release cycle by 6 months if I sign up for iPhone in Feb. However, If there is a one year contract option just like every other smart phone available now on VZW, it gives an option for the subscribers who want to change the phone every year.

However, they have already said that there WILL NOT be a 1 year contract option.
that's his point. every other smart phone had the one year option. why not this one?
@VZWSupport Please clarify if 1-year contracts for the iphone are not an option or if it is just pricing details that are not yet available?@jordn613 We do not have this information available yet. As soon as we know we will share.
So, they're not saying it's not an option, they're saying info on it is not available. It's possible that so they don't confuse consumers, they aren't publicizing the 1 year option, but when you go to preorder or buy, there will be an additional 1 year option for an additional $100-200.
Currently there is no information on a 1 year pricing option for the i Phone 4, that does not mean there will be or will not be in the future. As of now many details of the phones release are being worked out. We appreciate all your enthusiasm about the device, and thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless.

If by no information you mean that the head Verizon spokeswoman said there will be a one year option...
That would be awesome if there is a 1 year contract being offered at all.
My upgrade date in March 5 and I am barely able to wait until then, but I suppose I could wait an extra 5 days until the 10th for a 1 year contract, if this is true.
If I bought my phone on the 5, then on the 10th a 1 year contract option comes out, could I still return my phone (since it's within the 14-day period) and then buy another one on a one year contract?

kyllle....i actually believe that if you buy it on the 5th, then on the tenth you could actually just call and change it to a 1 year contract by paying the additional $69. i have seen other situations where people have done this. however, if they don't allow you to do this, and you do buy it on the 5th and return it to get a one year contract on the 10th, you will be charged a $35 restocking fee. i'd wait the extra 5 days or BE SURE you can just change the contract from 2 years to 1 by paying the $69 extra on the 10th.
I don't really mind paying the $35 extra if it means getting a 1 year contract. I'm doubtful they'll get all of a sudden start offering one on the 10th though, so I'll just buy mine as soon as I'm eligible, unless I hear anything more about a 1 year option.
