How is paying 650 over 2 years better than paying 199 once?
Unless some of the plans give a discount because ur making phone payments
Correct, $25 off when on 24 month payment plan

Where did you see that they aren't letting subsidized? Even before they allegedly changed that rule I didn't see any benefit of subsidized phones as I mentioned earlier. It's cheaper with the 24 payments... If the Verizon plan makes more sense for you I would switch. I'm on more everything cuz every line would go up by $5/month if I switch. Even though I would get a lot more data, I'm just about managing with what I have.
I tries upgrading from my accound and saw it's full price, when I called they told me there is no more subsidized phones in any plans
Staying on this plan is cheaper for me if I can just pay $199 for a phone, and there are 4 other lines that do bot need any upgrades

You could get a sim card for $4.00 a day with data, obviously depends for how many days you need it.

Current best way to upgrade iphone on Verizon? Any deals? Or is my best bet to just buy it outright from Apple?

Why buy outright if they allow subsidized pricing? 199 on a 2 year contract. I thought they stopped that but still seems available.

Maybe it depends on plan? Asking for relative so not sure what plan they have.

Why would you use it a lot at 10 dollars per day?

Been a disaster for me lately. Service goes on and off. Is there a thread here discussing this specific plan?

The new upgrade offers from verizon are crazy. I can no longer upgrade for somewhere between $50 and $200, I now pay the full price of the phone over 2 years plus a upgrade fee.

Obviously because I can keep my own phone number?

They offer for another $1.00 that your phone can ring on the rented Sim. The sim I got worked great.
