Why do they say free upgrade?

I wish I could do that for you and prove you wrong, however, I no longer have the email to do so.

Hmm.Seems to me that it didn't happen then. *Shrugs*

[ohboy_]

Of course you would think that.

I just feel it's a shame that they word things the way that they do.

Things should be more clear, but I guess this is just how the business goes.

Did you read the fine print in the email? It mentions the upgrade/activation fee.

[ohboy_]

Yes, I sure did. It was not located there. Just info on the discounted pricing of the devices along with some other jibber jabber.

[hambone1995]

I agree with Ann154. If you read the fine print on the email, and the website, you would have seen that.

[hambone1995]

That "jibber jabber" was the print about the upgrade fee, so, yeah?

[ohboy_]

No, the jibber jabber said nothing about any upgrade/activation fees.

But this was awhile ago and they are still sending this"free upgrade" out at this time.

But as Core2 said earlier, edge would be the free upgrade route you need to take.

I have an email from Verizon Wireless trying (and failing) to interest me in a new tablet for $100 off the price.

Copied from that email.
