Edge Discount, with Off Contract Discount

Does anyone know, if you receive the Edge discount on top of the Off-Contract discount?

Let me explain. I switched to the More Everything plan from Unlimited because of the better perks. Free Hot Spot, No Throttling (apparently). I am at 12 gb and don't really come close.

I get the discount for being off contract. $25 a line that is out of contract. I was wondering if I got a phone on Verizon Edge, would I also get an additional $25 per phone since I am not signing a new "Voice/Data" contract, just a phone contract.

Sorry, no double-dipping on discounts. You will get the SAME discount with the Edge, but you are entering into a contract w/ Verizon which is a condition of the month-2-month discount.

Are you sure? The Verizon Edge plan isn't a voice/data contact which is what the discount is for.

Yes I am sure. The More Everything Month to Month discount is possible because your phone is off-contract and therefore your service is month-to-month. Technically purchasing a new device with the Edge program does involve a contract on the phone.

Options:

Pay full retail price and keep the month-to-month discount (no contract) (example: $600 phone, $600 discount over 24 month)
Purchase with the Edge program (contract to pay for the phone) and get the Edge discount - gives you the advantage of being able to spread out the payments, and the option to trade-in and upgrade sooner than 2-year contract.

Yes were sure. You get one or the other. Seriously you REALLY think you're going to get a $50 a month discount? Both discounts come off the line fee. Since the line fee is a max of $40 how would you get a $50 discount?

Does the Edge contract end when the phone's paid off? If so, does the "off contract" discount apply at that time?
