Verizon will reportedly offer customers the option of trading in their AT&T iPhones for credit toward the upcoming Verizon iPhone. According to MacRumors, Verizon sent out an email indicating that current AT&T users could grab a Verizon iPhone 4 by handing over their models. Here’s what AT&T iPhones can get you when Verizon opens its doors to Apple in February:
- iPhone 2G, 16GB – $60 (towards Verizon iPhone 4)
- iPhone 3G, 16GB – $105
- iPhone 3GS, 32 GB – $160
- iPhone 4, 16GB – $280
- iPhone 4, 32GB – $360
For anyone planning on ditching AT&T in favor of Verizon anyway, this could make the process a little easier, versus attempting to sell the iPhone yourself. MacRumors thought it was possible the offer was available only to corporate customers, but a Verizon spokesperson told CNET that trade-in options aren’t exclusive. Credit comes in the form of a gift card and can only go toward purchasing an iPhone at full retail price, or toward a future wireless bill. So you won’t necessarily save that much money if you’re trading in your AT&T iPhone for a Verizon version, but you will be able to ditch your previous device easily. That is, only if you aren’t tempted by the promise of Apple bringing back its formerly expelled unlimited data plan.
Great for them but what promotions are for current verizon customers. My phone is over 2 years old and I was told a trade or new every two won't be offered. I kept my phone waiting for the iPhone….
I just wanna see the morons who gonna trade their att phones for cheap prices, my advice put them in Craig list, I will get much more.
I hope they’re giving premiums!!! The AT&T phone can do more. The Big Red fans have yet to see what kind of damage the iPhone will do to there 3G network. Gonna be an interesting roll out!
