Verizon Wireless offered the V3m for $79 with 3 year contract when it came out. The transfer of service thing is news to me. My girl is stuck with crappy Verizon and can't wait to get out. Funny that working for VZW (and seeing how anti-consumer they REALLY are) and getting the Chocolate phone made her want to leave VZW even more. More info on TOS?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CLShortFuse]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2006 9:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Regretting that three-year contact?

You have to be eligible to upgrade, and eligibility requirements differ between carriers.  Some require you to wait 22 months since intitial service agreement/last upgrade date, while others require you to have the same exact handset for either one or two years before you become eligible for any sort of discount.<br><br>And even then, many times the upgrade price is not as good as the new customer price.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[flamer's grill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2006 9:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Regretting that three-year contact?

So maybe policy is a little different than practice, who knows. I just know for a fact I've done it four or five times, even just the other week.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2006 10:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Regretting that three-year contact?

Since they started in 2003 a few copy cats/poachers popped up in 2005/06. These sites have no activity/listings and have very little traffic.

Dobson allows discounted purchases with 6 months or less remaining on their contract and even than you can be denied (example: you have poor payment history, your Active Past due, or possible even 30 Days Past due). If you can't afford the phone you want straight out of your own pocket than do yourself a favor and don't buy it. You could also consider signing a one year extension over a two year extension as well, but keep in mind you most likely will spend more on the handset.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2006 8:58PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
