This phone might not be as cheap as the Wirefly friends and family deal (UPDATE: $129.99 ), but it looks like its not the easiest of tasks to upgrade an individual line within a family plan over there. I used this yesterday to get my DROID for $149, free two day ship and no tax or rebate!

I have a tendency to confuse when I type so I'll try to say it another way for good measure. I looked at the general options for upgrading your phone at Wirefly and noticed that you can do Individual or Family. I'm on a family plan so I select family, but it didn't allow me to select just one phone to upgrade, always 2+. So I tried amazonwireless.com and lo and behold there was an option during purchase to upgrade a single number on a family account and I decided to just go with that.

So if you are having similar troubles, this is the deal for you!

2 year contract extension on that line? I could not find it anywhere in the fine print. but I assume that to be the case.

I am confused. I am currently in a contract with verizon, but I have until 7/10 before my contract is up. Is there anyway to purchase the phone and extend the contract I already have by 2 years to get the droid at the cheaper price?

yes you must qualify for upgrade. I actually asked verizon to allow an early upgrade by two months and the customer service rep was great and agreed! After they updated their records i checked my verizon account and proceeded to get the phone on Amazon with no problems

Can this be combined with NE2 discount ?

So it is really $99 then once you apply the NE2 discount?!!!

Actually, VZW allows anyone on a 1 year contract to upgrade for a discount (and extend their contract) after 10 months of the 12. If you are under a 2 yr contract, it is 20 months. It should be automatic and no need to call. If you login in to your account and choose "upgrade my phone" you will see discounted prices once you get within 2 or 4 months of end of contract.

Did you have a PDA phone before? Did Amaz0n make you add the $30 data plan to your account when you added the 'droid - if you didn't have it before?

not helpful, that a yes or no?

I would guess NE2 is only available if you buy the phone from VZW direct.

In the NE2 fine print:

New Every Two redemptions may not be available at Verizon Wireless authorized dealers. Your New Every Two discount is applied to the two-year discounted retail price of a new device.

So it sounds like even if they allowed the discount via a dealer, they could say you are already paying $50 or more off of retail and are thus entitled to no more discount...

Note that nowhere does it say NE2 is a rebate, so if Amaz0n does not give you an additional discount then I would not expect VZW to give you the money back.
