Verizon Increases Edge Upgrade Time and some Pricing Points

Share

verizonedgeStarting October 16th, Verizon will increase the number of monthly payments Edge customers must make from 20 to 24 months in order to upgrade to a new device. The increase in time between upgrades should decrease a customer’s monthly payment; although customers much pay off 75% instead of the 60% previously required to upgrade early. With the new system, customers sticking to their upgrade plan will be able to get a new device every 18 months as opposed to 12.

Verizon is also offering bigger discounts for users of edge plans as well, offering a $15 per line discount for data plans from 500 MB to 8 GB and $25 off for plans higher than 8 GB. Verizon also lowered the cost of its 500 MB plan from $30 to $20, but raising the cost of its 2 GB plan from $60 to $75. These plans still feature severe overage charges.

Verizon is making some changes in order to raise the percentage of users on an Edge plan in order to compete with AT&T’s success with its NEXT plan, which has about half of its users, as compared to 18% of Verizon users on Edge.
