I took advantage of “free phone” deals at black friday and switched 4 lines from another carrier to verizon. As soon as my lines were ported I also signed for paperless autopay ..
Based on that I expected to see the advertised plan price of 120+fees and taxes on my monthly bill, but right away I see on my verizon that owe 275 for the first month (this is two days after I switched to verizon and this is prepayment for 1st month)
I spoke to a representative who explained to me that these deals would take some time to kick in and once they do I will start to see a credit for each phone line in the amount that would cancel out the charges made for mobile phone installments.
So my question is:
1 . How long does it take for free phone credits to kick in and cancel out the monthly installments I am paying for new phones?
2. Same question for autopay savings
3. Once the discounts kick in , is the money I paid during the time before the discount was applied, going to be returned to me or I actually paid 2x the price I was quoted for?
I would appreciate your comments
thanks
