New Contract or Status Quo

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

If I don't need a new phone at the moment (Audiovox 9500) and current
contract is OK, am I alright to just wait things out until we see what
happens with the Cingular/ATT merger before deciding on a new plan? Is
there an actual time frame attached to the "new every two," or can we re-up
after, say two and a half or three, and still get the phone deal? If we do
a new contract now, is there a consensus as to which would be the best phone
replacement for the 9500?

Thanks

DS

People have indicated recently that NE2 expires 6 months after the contract
does.

Also, consider (actually, check carefully!) whether your bonuses, such as
free N/W, continue after your contract expires.

Yes, but newer contracts than yours was may not do that.
