Why does Verizon need to add lines to get iphone 16 promotion if I can still keep my old number?
Based upon the verbiage of the current promotions at the website as I write this post, would have to think your existing number doesn't qualify for those promos. My guess is this is a workaround for the promos formerly only being available to completely new customers.
Hi Night_Writer_3,
As an existing customer, we currently have a promotion where you can get $1000 as trade-in credits towards the iPhone 16 pro on the Unlimited Ultimate plan. This would only require that you trade in your old device. Please let us know if you'd like for us to assist you with taking advantage of this promotion!
