Verizon Offers Early Upgrades That Cover New iPhones As Well

Verizon subscribers who are eligible for an upgrade in the near future have something to get excited about today. The carrier has announced that it is offering an opportunity to these customers to avail a smartphone upgrade two months prior to the date on which they would have actually become eligible.

What this means is that subscribers who were going to be eligible for a smartphone upgrade on Verizon on or before November 15th, 2014 will now be able to upgrade their smartphones on Big Red immediately.

Those who are able to take advantage of this new promotion have the opportunity to upgrade to any device that’s currently in Verizon’s lineup, while having to commit to a new two-year contract with the carrier. Verizon subscribers can check their upgrade eligibility through My Verizon.

The timing of this promotion doesn’t look like a coincidence. Apple’s new iPhones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, are both part of Verizon’s lineup and have already seen amazing response from customers. Verizon would want its subscribers to jump up to the latest iPhones months before they would have been eligible to do so as that will help it sell more new iPhones as opposed to its rivals.

So far AT&T and Sprint have not confirmed if they too will be offering a similar early upgrade promotion to subscribers around the time the new iPhones hit the market.
