Thread: Switching to Verizon

Hello i have been with T Mobile for years and just want a better Android phone and much better coverage and service! So i am going to switch to Verizon. My question is?? What are some advantages to buying phones for the Verizon store as opposed to online stores? The online stores seem much cheaper.. I would like to here some other people opinions on this subject before i make my purchase. I am buying two phones. Any help or advice is much appreciated!!

Get the best deal from wherever you can get it (new), the other places (like the Amazonwireless store) have pricing models built to compete with the best seen at the provider websites.

The only perk of buying direct from VZW is some flexibility with how early renewals are used (wife just got a droid 2 months ago 4 months after buying an awful eNV Touch... at the 1 year price).

Verizon's store phones are fine and you'll have the clerk do the setup for you while you wait. Online, the phone is shipped to you, usually overnight and you'll need to do the setup yourself on the Verizon web page. If you buy a "Verizon" branded phone, you can get service at the store regardless of where you bought it so don't let that influence your decision. I've always found the new phone prices the same so I don't know what you have been seeing. The B&M stores don't always have the stock which was the case on my last smart phone and why I ordered it online.

While most areas are great for Verizon, there are some in the country that are not. I hope you did reference checking so you won't be switching to a service that is equally bad in your area.

in my 7 years with verizon i always got the best deals online. you will love their service. extremely reliable. only reason i left last year is because sprint was cheaper and still pretty reliable but not as much as verizon. great reception!

We were with Verizon for more than 7-years prior to switching. We loved their service, but the data plans were too expensive. We have been with Sprint for 2 1/2 years and pay $30 a month for 450 minutes and unlimited data/text. Gotta love the SERO plan...but I am so, so tired of my 2 1/2 year old Sprint Mogul phone.

Thank you guy's very much! You guy's are great!! I go fishing and hunting alot and tired of losing service. At&t and Verizon service is very good here so that is where i am going! When i goto Verizons store or Verizon online i can get a droid or Incredible for 199. If i get the moto droid i can buy one get one free. Online at different places i can get a droid for 19.99 or Incredible for 149.00!!

I just did not understand why it was so much cheaper to buy online then even at Verizon. I was kinda looking for hidden fee's and such.
