Quick Probably Simple Question

Yes Hello I Was Thinking About upgrading to a droid and it says early termination fee is $350 now what I want to know is if i decide to switch back to another phone do I have to pay $350 even though I am not canceling my contract just changing phones ?

If you sign a new two year contract and purchase a Droid, you have to fulfill the terms of the contract to avoid an ETF. However, if you have an old phone you want to use instead of the Droid, I believe you can cancel your data plan and put the old phone on the two year contract. As long as you stay on the two year plan, I believe you will be OK, but I'm not 100 percent certain. One thing I know you can't do is purchase another new discounted phone until the Droid is paid for (2 years).

Thanks for the response I meant If I wanted to go back to an older phone I understand the no discount pricing until the 2 years up I contacted support via e-mail to see if they can give me an exact answer. Thank You For Your Response

yeah, the ETF only applies if you actually cancel the line with Verizon.  You won't be subject to the ETF by simply activating another phone on the line whether it requires a data plan or not.  Do note that if you upgrade through wirefly or some of the other 3rd party retailers, you aren't able to activate another phone and drop the data plan without their secondary ETF.

Thanks For The Response That Makes Sense also I have a Contract directly through Verizon so I am Fine On That But Thank You Very Much

No you will not have to pay an ETF if you decided to activate another phone under that number. The only time a ETF apply is when you are canceling service all together no longer wanting to be a customer with Verizon Wireless and your still in contract.
