I bought a 5s three days ago on a new two-year contract. Unfortunately, I'm not especially pleased with the "share everything" plan's cost, especially when I would forego unlimited calls for a lower price. Unfortunately, I'm not old enough to take advantage of Verizon's 65 Plus plans
So, I am still within the 14 day return period, but I managed to snag a 64gb gold 5s and would like to keep it. If I were to cancel my service before the 14 day grace period is up, would I be able to keep the phone by paying the difference b/w the cost of the phone and the subsidized price I paid (plus the $35 activation)? Or would I have to wait til the 15th day and incur the ETF on top of a non-prorated service charge+activation? Either way is fine so long as I can keep the phone. I just want to know how this works.
The thing is, I purchased the phone from the Apple store, which has a 30 day device return policy on iPhones. When I purchased the phone I didn't know I could have gotten it at full price instead of subsidized with activation. Unfortunately, it's too late for that now...
