LG G4-Verizon: Free...sort of (1 Viewer)

The phone is roughly $550 retail, still on the less expensive side of the top end phones. I would never say the LG is as good as the Galaxy/Note/iPhone6, but for some of us the $750-$1,000 price tag just for the privilege of getting billed monthly by whichever carrier you pick is borderline organized crime. I used to ask them how they could bill me if I didn't have a working phone, that angle no longer holds much water with them.

So I have been sitting on a 4 year old HTC One S that I never paid for last time T-Mobile enticed me to re-up with them. I was thinking I would have to fork out the major bucks until I stumbled onto this and I thought some of you might really want to take a look here. I have been with T-Mobile for 15 years but I'm switching to Verizon. I'm sure I could get someone from T-Mobile to perhaps match this offer but I'm ready to try a new carrier.

You get $100 off instant with the code, then they will give you $300 trade in on any piece of junk phone you want to give them in return. You also can get an additional $200 Visa card from LG separate from everything I just posted so if the phone is $550, you actually are making money by taking their phone. I haven't found anything close to this.

You could do something similar for the Motorola Droid Maxx 2 which retails at about $400 but you would not have the $200 Visa gift card. I think the Droid Maxx would probably have been fun but I like that LG is one of the few phones where you can switch the battery out. Unreal that the cell phones come on many without the capability to simply replace a dead battery, that's just mind boggling to me. You see folks still going strong on LG2, LG3, it's a decent phone for the money, probably way too boring for the hipsters.

Don't worry I'm still FFA retired, just trying to give back a little after taking for so long :)

Cheers!

 
To get the $300 trade in you need to open a new line, correct?

I tried using the same deal on an iPhone 6s but they wouldn't let me use it on a phone upgrade, only a new line and I didn't want a new one. If you're not a customer it wouldn't matter.

ah didn't realize this...thanks.

 
Double check on the add a line part, I was trying it for an iphone, the deal may be different for the LG if theyre motivated to move them with the V10 out now

 
Thanks MoP- may try to make this happen this weekend. also a long-time T-mobile user and looking to leave.

actually good to see you back here... I must've missed why you left.

fwiw- other small print... "UP TO $300 back". I wonder what the minimum is.

Just for giggles I tried a dummy entry using an old Republic Wireless Moto G phone that I let the kids play games on and it gave me $300 credit, so I think it's any phone.

Of course when I do the same as a current (upgrade eligible) customer it gives me $0 for the phone... way to keep your customers happy big V.

I told them I had a POS 4 yr old cell phone, doesn't matter. They say that or post that to cover themselves but they are not gauging your cell phone value the way say a car lot is judging your trade in on a car.

YW, glad I could help.

Call and get a nice operator on the phone, mine actually gave me a cell phone he uses for work in case I need him. Dude was ex military, nice as could be in terms of customer service, I would bet if you talk to someone like that, they might hook you up on trade in for new phone even as an existing customer.

I don't know if i have the time to call them the 40-50 times it would take to get the "nice" operator.

So I'm sick of sprint. I use about 5 gig a month, wife 2-3. What's the best plan i can get to fulfill the obligation? I assume it's 2 years? Hate that since most phones only least me about six months. But i can't continue to buy two note 3s a year.

I did not sign a 2 yr contract. If you apply the money they are giving you to the actual phone you will have it paid off quickly and at that point you owe Verizon nothing. I could go back to T-Mobile if I really wanted to and they pump the LG G4 as well.

No contract

Hard to believe they'd give this deal without a contract, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks

Yea I've had an idiot whenever I've called/chatted/tweeted with their support.
