Verizon has never been a carrier who wants to be upstaged. With both T-Mobile and AT&T announcing new early upgrades, with payment options, today is not to be the exception. Verizon officially revealed their new Edge upgrade and device payment options this afternoon.
The new contract add-on options offer similarities to both the Jump plan from T-Mobile, and the Next plan form AT&T:
- Verizon Edge is a flexible equipment payment plan that spreads the retail price of a phone over 24 months.
- Upgrade to a new phone after six months if 50 percent of the retail cost of your current device has been paid.
- There is no upgrade fee for Verizon Edge customers.
- Available to customers on Share Everything plans starting August 25th.
More information, as always, can be found on Verizon's website. You can also check out the full press release below:

Verizon Edge Device Payment and Early Upgrade Plan
Technology changes fast. You purchase a phone or tablet and within a few short months, something new hits the shelves.
If you want to stay on top of the latest technology,
the new Verizon Edge device payment plan offers an affordable way to
upgrade to the newest device and satisfy your love of technology.
Verizon Edge is a flexible equipment payment plan that spreads the
retail price of a phone over 24 months. You can also upgrade to a new
phone after six months if 50 percent of the retail cost has been paid.
Here’s how it works: Choose the phone you want and
sign up for a month-to-month service plan, it’s as easy as that. The
full retail price of the phone will be divided over 24 months and you’ll
pay the first month at the time of purchase. If you want to upgrade
after 6 months, just pay off 50% of the full retail price of the phone
and you can choose a new phone and start all over again.
There are no long-term service contracts, finance
charges or upgrade fees with Verizon Edge. Every six months, as long as
50 percent of the cost of the phone has been paid, you can upgrade to
the newest basic or smartphone available.
Verizon Edge will be available to customers on Share Everything plans starting August 25th.
