Q: iPhone upgrade plan verizon

If I purchase my new iPhone through the apple upgrade program will I still be able to save the $25 month to month discount on my verizon data plan? I spoke with verizon and they told me that if I purchase the iPhone from verizon or apple that I would continue to get this discount. But if I purchased it from anyone else I would not get this $25 discount every month. I'm wondering if anyone is currently a part of the iPhone upgrade program who has verizon and can confirm if they still receive this discount?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5

    How would you possibly hope to benefit from a $25 a month *Verizon* discount if you don't have an agreement with Verizon?

    Verizon has, at times, offered a discount on the monthly plan if you bring your own phone.

    He had his answer from Verizon though.

     

    they told me that if I purchase the iPhone from verizon or apple that I would continue to get this discount. But if I purchased it from anyone else I would not get this $25 discount every month.

    Agreed. I was just adding some additional information.

     

    To the best of my knowledge, Verizon hasn't announced any promotions surrounding the iPhone 7 release yet.

    Thanks...

     

    Nobody in Canada does a BYOD thing for iPhones. I stand educated.

     

    In fact, one may never see the words iPhone and discount within 3 paragraphs of each other here.

    But, it's such a lovely country other wise. And you did have the good sense to get rid of the penny.

    Thanks for that.

     

    And the dollar bill, and the 2 dollar bill and soon the 5 dollar bill.

     

    We're coin crazy. This should help revitalize the pants pocket and gramma's coin purse industries after many years of decline.

     

    Don't forget the fairly solid 3 party political system. No 50.25 to 49.75 election decisions for us!

     

    Hanging chads?  pffftht...

    Once you are no longer under contract with Verizon and you are on a current plan, your bill will drop down by $20 (not $25) unless you sign a new 2-year contract or purchase a new phone at subsidized pricing.
