I just visited the Verizon Wireless web site to see if I would qualify for the $199 price that is appearing everywhere. This is basically a $249 price less a $50 mail-in rebate. What I found online really surprised me, after inputting my account information they gave me the $199 price and took another $100 off for the "new every 2" discount. I didn’t buy one but it sure is tempting at just $99.
I went to the Verizon store this morning and told them about this because I also saw it on verizonwireless.com website. They basically told me I was crazy. I just called and spoke with a Verizon customer rep and he told me that I was NOT in fact crazy, but that somebody had “hacked into their website and photoshopped the $99 price on there”. The cheapest Blackberry Storm sells for, which is what I am going to pay for it, is $149.99.
No, if you have had a Verizon phone for 2 years and you had a plan $79.99 or more you’re eligible for a $100 discount off of a new phone. $199-$100 is $99
