Cell Phones and Plans

"Actually, Verizon seems to separate contract terms/renewal from Telephone replacement.
They generally extend contract terms - insist on it ; for any change in your service. For example, if you want to go from a $50 plan to a $75 plan with more minutes, they re-start the contract from the date of the change in service.

Yet every two years they offer to provide you with a $100 credit toward new phone. My contract goes until sometime in 08, while my "phone renewal" is up this November and I can get new phone with the $100 credit."

I think the way this works is that you can get a cell phone at a below-market price from your service provider in return for a one- or two-year contract, OR you can buy your phone elsewhere and get the service without a contract (or maybe a contract of shorter duration). So this is a trade-off, you get a price break on your instrument in return for a longer contract. But you don't have to take this; you can still avoid the lengthy contract by buying your own phone at a market price.

Why is this a problem? If you don't like the long contract, then don't take the price break on the phone. Seems to me a perfectly legit deal.

Now let's be honest here. If you sign a contract to get the cheaper phone, then as soon as you actually have the phone you want to get out of the contract, and this seems to be what this is all about. "Gimme the cheap phone, then I'll whine about how I'm being exploited by a long-term contract". Pretty cheesy.
