I think the problem here is one of nomenclature. I've played out my contract with Verizon (actually did back in June of 2013). Because of that, I'm eligible for an "upgrade." This promotion is not named very well, since what they are offering me is a downgrade at the phone level AND an additional two-year contract. I paid a similar amount for the phone I have now when I started, as a new Verizon customer. So essentially this "upgrade" is just a marketing buzzword to get me to buy a new phone.

The era of free phone upgrades has been dead for like 2 years. Whatever you do, don't use that Edge plan they advertise. It's a big ripoff.
