You recently bought a new phone from Verizon before the whole iPhone 4 business was announced. And you're pissed. Because you've wanted in on the iOS action, but have been leery of signing with AT&T. Well, the Big Red has an offer.
The good news: Verizon will give $200 gift cards to customers who swap their current phones for the iPhone 4. The bad news: You'll need to pay the full unsubsidized iPhone price to get it with your existing contract.
Additionally, it's only available to customers who bought a new handset from the carrier (smartphones, feature phones and certified pre-owned models all qualify) between November 26 and January 10, and only for accounts with five lines or less. You will also need to return your current phone and pick up your new Apple smartphone by February 28.
Those that don't meet the November 26 cutoff with an active contract can also opt to trade-in, although you'll get a variable-priced gift card (computed, depending on whatever parameter they want to use) for your efforts. All transactions must be done with Verizon Wireless directly, either online or through their retail stores.
The Verizon iPhone 4 will debut on February 10, with pre-orders available to existing customers starting February 3.
