Verizon customers get first grab at iPhones
Submitted by matthewfortner on 02/01/2011 - 08:16The countdown timer on Verizon's iPhone page ticks closer to Feb. 3, the day many of its subscribers have been waiting for since the first iPhone appeared.
On Thursday February 3 at 3:00 a.m. current Verizon Wireless customers can place online orders for its iPhone, a week ahead of the Feb. 10 sales launch. Orders will be filled on a first-come, first served basis.
Presumably as hordes assemble outside stores and clamoring online, current subscribers could have their devices in hand already.
Verizon is charging $199.99 for the 16GB model, and $299.99 for the 32GB model, with a new 2 year agreement. iPhone 4 will also be available for purchase at full retail price - $649.99 for the 16GB model, and $749.99 for the 32GB.
A free My Verizon online account is required for ordering. Verizon recommends that customers create a My Verizon account beforehand since supply could be depleted quickly.
Those not yet subscribing to Verizon Wireless must wait until the full launch on Feb. 10.
