Got the Droid X For a Steal of a Deal

Found out that in a week I went through 129mb, 150mb would definitely be no good for me. That's like surfing freely on my phone once a week. 500mb would have been a better idea IMO.

 

Glad I could help, Mike.

In case anyone else is wondering about the promotional plan, here are the details:

As mentioned over on HoFo (where I first saw this offer), you have to receive the offer via email (see below) in order to qualify for the deal. Also, this is a call in deal, and is handled by the retention department (from what I have read). The store CSRs and Verizon CSRs cannot offer this plan, and may or may not know the details about the plan.

I have also read that people were saying they received the email when in fact they didn't. In my opinion, this is not right. I called them a week and a half ago, and simply asked them if our family plan qualifies for this amazing deal (we never received the email offer), instead of pretending we received the email offer. The rep went to check and came back 2 minutes later and said that we qualified. On a side note, I have heard that this may in fact be a trial to see if this plan goes over well (which it sounds like it is doing) before they offer this as a regular plan.

 

That will also work. That is another good point about the reps. I may have just been lucky when I called and got my family on this plan. We have only been with Verizon for five years now.

 

That may be true. It was either that or I just got lucky with the rep.

I figured it was worth a shot to call in about the deal. That is definitely a killer deal that you got, Mike. Again, I am glad that I could help.

 

You are using an email plan, the same thing I had while I was on VZW using a Samsung Omnia. Anybody can have that plan; it does include unlimited data and text. Nothing special about it.

I don't think that is the case. The family plan that I am on (see the link that I posted earlier) is definitely not the email plan. And the plan is in fact special since the line(s) are discounted by $20. Also not everyone qualifies for the plan, so in my opinion that definitely makes it special. Just because this plan may mimic an old plan, doesn't mean it is in fact the same plan.

 

So - I've only been back with VZW for 9 mo - after leaving them for 4 years and being with them 5 years before that.

And I get 17-20% work discount - does that apply?
