Guess we can finally put that rumor to bed, right? Coupled with their most reliable network in the nation, the phone should do fairly well.

On January 12th, Verizon announced that they were doing away with all early upgrades and discounts for existing customers. The move forces people to upgrade before January 16th to get their discounts or be forced to pay full price when upgrading their phone.

Facebook, Twitter and many other social media sites are booming with people who are upset that this is happening. So, why did they do it?

Business, nothing more.

Verizon knows that millions of customers are getting ready to jump ship and move over when the iPhone launches. Instead of depleting iPhone inventory with upgrades from existing customers, Verizon is saving that inventory for new customers. New customers will pay $199 for the iPhone, and Verizon will cut its losses down by forcing existing customers to pay full retail for their new phone.

Don’t be surprised when Verizon Wireless stores ask you if you are an existing customer when purchasing the iPhone in a few weeks. Just as they did when the Blackberry Storm launched, stores will more than likely hold their inventory for new activations instead of upgrades. New activations are worth twice the money that an upgrade is.

Until next time

I have been working with a top tier provider trying to ascertain why my audit client has not recivied their $13,440 MRC waiver credit. This client has been an end user customer of “provider A” since early Y2K. Like most clients. on 2 to 3 year intervals, they renewed their contract for optimized prices and capabilities. However, during the 3 renewal periods (over 6 years) the $13,440 waiver was never implemented. I have been working on this billing ticket since 9/2009 and it finally looks like the waiver credit will post to their account on the 19th of Nov. This is just one of those moments where you cant imagine a firm not using someone like us. Especially when my client has Telecom, IT, Finance, and AP staff dedicated to their companies Telecom expenses. What’s that noise, ohh its me patting myself on the back. I guess that college course “How to exert Stick-To-It-Ness” finally paid off.
Until next time.
