My edit button is missing but here's the text from the link above showing the prices of the phone:
I just purchased a Motorola Droid from Overstock.com for $120 with 2 year plan, free Fed Ex shipping. Here is what I understand. Correct me if I'm wrong. Looking for some help if you know of a better deal.
When you order, they don't tell you all the fees until after you have spent 10-20 mins on the phone, then they tell you the ETFees. Also, I think I was talking to somebody in India based on the accent of the clerk, who was very polite and the digital sounding nature of the call which was horrible but tolerable at times.
During the first 6 months, if I cancel the plan, change phone numbers...up to $300 penalty plus, (which goes to Overstock) and a $175 termination fee (which goes to Verizon) for the first 24 months that is fixed and does not decrease over time if I cancel the plan and the standard $35 activation fee.
Standard $39.99 with 450 mins and $29.99 data plan.
So if I keep the phone for at least 6 months, which most likely I will do, then after 6 months if I cancel for whatever reason, I will only have paid the $120 for the phone, $175 for the early termination fee and $35 activation fee for a total of $330.
My question is, did I make a costly mistake with all these penalties and such? I can always return the package if there is a better deal elsewhere. The reason I like the 1 year option is so if I decide to get a newer droid or other model in a year or so if the technology changes for the better I won't be hit with all these Early Termination Fees.
Suggestions, comments...?
