I just bought an iPhone 4s from a verizon reseller 10 days ago, i have 14 days to return it for a $35 restocking fee.  Does anyone know if I can trade it in for an iPhone 5?

No you can't you will be after your 14 days when it is released.  Return it and get your upgrade back.

Please be forewarned, returning the iphone 4S and then pre-ordering the iphone 5 might be considered your ONE exchange allowed in the return policy.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I have seen it happen to a co-worker. It's how I ended up with a slightly used Nexus.

Friday is the pre order do you have any other upgrades? The upgrade wont comeback that quickly depending how you purchased it.

Could they preorder by adding a line the getting rid of that other line when the contract date goes back.

"Getting rid of that other line" will result in a $350 ETF as a result of cancelling service on that line.  Probably not worth it.

Tomorrow is the end of my 14 day period since I stupidly bought my 4s.  I'm not so interested in exchanging for an iPhone5, as I am in paying the lower price for my 4s.  I had read that as part of the rollout of the 5, that Verizon was going to sell the iPhone 4s 16g for $99 rather than the $199 I paid.  I called Verizon today and they said I also had 14 days to match a lower price, but that the 4s was still listed at $199.  Does anyone know if what I read about the price change was accurate, and when it takes effect?

I have called twice about the updated pricing on 4s; one rep did not know, one said possibly 9/14/12.  Apple obviously lowered their prices immediately and ATT lowered them early AM on 9/13.  No one is going to buy a 4 or 4s at current price. Is this typical pricing games for Verizon after an iPhone launch?
