I Just Pre Ordered Thru VZ Phone Rep

Congratulations, let us know more when you get it.

 

I had one say the same thing to me when we renewed our other lines, though I have a scheduled call on the 14th.

 

I've called multiple times a day, every day. No luck...

I find it highly unlikely that VWZ has taken any pre-orders over the phone.

 

It is well known that Verizon agent training is pretty inconsistent and if you don't like the answer you get, you can keep calling back and someone will eventually help you. If they can't put a pre-order in the system, they can certainly take a note to order for you as soon as it is available in the system.

Then I have talked to 26 lazy ones if my count is correct...lol

I don't care to pre-order it, just seeing if I can do what people are claiming....

 

Do the verizon reps get any money what so ever for renewing a contract or selling a phone and accessories over the phone? I know that in store the reps make a commission off the sale of accessories.

 

I may get lucky. my buddy wants the droid and has an update available.... I'm gonna have him get the x (which ill pay for) and then were gonna swap.

 

What's happening is your getting a call back (if they remember) to see if u still want the X. It's NOT A PREORDER.

 

See this is what i was thinking was that some of the reps are creating a sheet of call backs. So that way they get "x" number of sales of the droid x, and if they make any money off the sale of accessories or anything else, then that's just extra money for them.

 

I am calling BS on this. I called VZW as well and was told very clearly that they weren't taking pre-orders.

BTW, VZW also told me that full retail price = $569

 

Best Buy will start taking pre-orders again on the 10th, according to their weekly ad online - page 6, if you're interested in looking it up.
