I'm assuming 5s is released sometime in the morning at retail stores. Nobody will have them online at midnight, correct?

I wasnt a big fan of the update initially. But after using it for a day I like it more. It hasnt added a lot, but the small things I like more I like a lot more. The control center (or, the double tap opening everything as opposed to 4 app logos at the bottom) is a big upgrade for me. I also like the new messages format slightly more.
The only thing I dont like is the color scheme and, as far as I can tell, the fact there is no other option.
I wasnt expecting a whole lot since it is simply an update.

Except right now I pay $30 for unlimited and all of the new Verizon plans, even the least amount of data, are more expensive.WebFire;1503907 wrote:And most people don't use near as much as they think. I don't think it's a big deal to lost the unlimited.

I have two separate g-mail accounts synced to my phone. Before the update, I did not have any new emails. After updating, it says I have an unread one. I have searched and searched and don't see an unread one. I had my fiance look, she didn't see it, either. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I was merely talking about the data part. Price is another topic itself.Glory Days;1504129 wrote:Except right now I pay $30 for unlimited and all of the new Verizon plans, even the least amount of data, are more expensive.

Sure, but you still have to pay for your current plan. So you be paying for 2 lines, and you'd have a new phone number.Rotinaj;1504204 wrote:Im a big stupid idiot and don't feel like looking it up so im just going to ask on here.

Have you actually checked on your upgrade time frame? It's usually 6ish months short of the 2 years.Rotinaj;1504204 wrote:Im a big stupid idiot and don't feel like looking it up so im just going to ask on here.

This... they need you to pay for the full 2 years, so they can have you pay for the device you're using.WebFire;1504206 wrote:Sure, but you still have to pay for your current plan. So you be paying for 2 lines, and you'd have a new phone number.

Not always. They discount the phone (sometimes), but don't give you premium pricing until full 2 years.wildcats20;1504208 wrote:Have you actually checked on your upgrade time frame? It's usually 6ish months short of the 2 years.

But I just looked and it now it's saying I am eligible in February, which is my contract date. However up until this point it was saying I could upgrade starting in October. Oh well.

When I got my 4s they allowed me to do it with like 4 months left but on the Verizon website it doesn't give the leeway. Also, webfire gave me the answer I figured I would get.

Not with AT&T. If you're within a few months of your end of contract, they will give you the best discounted price.ernest_t_bass;1504210 wrote:Not always. They discount the phone (sometimes), but don't give you premium pricing until full 2 years.

Was really hoping id be able to just trade in my 4s for a new one pretty much straight up along with tax of course. I doubt Verizon will be giving $200 for the 4s much longer.

Most carriers went away from the 18 month upgrade cycle this year.
