This was mentioned in another thread, but it really caught my attention.

If you enrolled in the program on or after 11/25/02, you must take
advantage of the New Every Two offer within six months of becoming
eligible; otherwise, you may be charged full retail price to upgrade
your current handset.

What the #%&*?! NewEvery2 *used to* never expire! This seems to be saying
that if you enrolled in NE2 after 11/25/02 (in other words, bought a new
phone after that date, and accepted a new two year contract of at least
$34.99/mo), and delay taking advantage of NE2 within 6 months of being
eligible (2 years after that purchase), that not only do you forfeit the
$100 NE2 bonus, but you also are ineligible for the subsidized price,
and have to pay full retail. Huh????

I think you could get the subsidized price if you sign a new contract.
Paying full retail for a phone should not change your contract - staying
month to month.

Note the word "may". If you are really curious call CS and ask what
conditions turn "may" to "will".

Doesn't the very next sentence state that you will get the subsidized price
if you sign a new 2 year contract?

"If you enrolled in the program on or after 11/25/02, you must take
advantage of the New Every Two offer within six months of becoming eligible;
otherwise, you may be charged full retail price to upgrade your current
handset. Discount amount will be applied toward the two-year Customer
Agreement retail price."

I believe this (out of context) is only speaking to the New Every Two
(up to) $100. New Every Two is independent of the subsidized 1 yr
or 2 yr contract price of the phone.

This is what I've been led to understand too. As I understand it, if you
qualify for New Every Two you get up to $100 off the SUBSIDIZED price of a
phone. Not the full price, the already-discounted price. Verizon doesn't give
away much, but this is one hell of a deal.

That's correct. When my NE2 went into place recently, the $100 was
reflected on the website, making all but the most expensive phones
free with a two-year contract.

becareful when you use the New Every Two. Try to use it when your contract
ends. I used it a few month earlier and it was hit with a large bill. $64.
compared to the regular $42. because I renewed my contract earlier, instead
of 12th of every month.

This has absolutely nothing to do with New Every Two.
What you are talking about here is pro-ration. I suspect
you changed plans when you did this, correct?

NE2 *is* applied to the subsidized price of a phone.

The way I read it, you have to take advantage of NE2 within 6 months of
being eligible. If you upgrade within the 6 months, you get $100 off the
subsidized price of the phone and must sign a new 2 year contract (the
contract is a condition of NE2). If you don't take advantage of NE2 within
the 6 month window you forfeit it. Then, if you want to upgrade, you either
pay full retail and don't sign a contract or you sign another contract and
get a subsidized price. I don't understand what the confusion is. Nowhere
does it say that if you don't take advantage of NE2 within 6 months that you
have to pay full retail even if you sign another contract.

The confusion (at least in part) is stemming from the 6 month limit
that didn't seem to exist before. For example you could sign up for
NE2 when opting for a 2 yr contract. I don't know if it is still true
but in the past it was automatic when opting for a 2 yr. contract.
2 years after that you might go month to month. Then 1 year later,
2 years later, whenever, you might decide to upgrade your equipment,
sign a new 2 year contract and collect the $100 NE2 credit.
