Verizon has begun sending out information to corporate customers with more details about their iPhone launch. Verizon is offering existing customers a chance to buy the Verizon iPhone on February 3rd, a week before the general public.
According to the email we've received, Verizon will begin pre-order sales at 3am Eastern on February 3rd.
- Make sure you have your My Verizon self-serve account set-up online. Orders can only be placed through your my Verizon account. You can register/setup your account at... myaccount.verizonwireless.com
- On February 3rd at 3am EST, Verizon Wireless will allow our current customers to order upgrades or new lines to their accounts through your My Verizon online account (make sure you have registered before the 3rd).
The email also indicates that the pre-sale inventory is limited, so when that inventory is depleted, customers will have to wait until the February 10th public launch date.
Verizon is also allowing some existing AT&T iPhone customers to trade-in their iPhone for credit when buying a new Verizon iPhone 4. We not sure if this will be offered to non-corporate accounts, but the trade-in price list is as follows:
Customers, of course, could do better selling their iPhones themselves, though this could provide a relatively low-hassle way to switch carriers. The prices listed here are higher than Verizon's normal tradein program. New Verizon iPhones will be shipped 2 day FedEx by default or optionally next day air.

Can’t wait for the iPhone 5 on Verizon. I have the iPhone 4 and love it but where I live in northern NV the ATT network uses carrier pigeons to deliver data.
My work BB (Verizon) shows 3G when my iPhone is searching for service and it drives me crazy!!!
What are you complaining about? At least you have a carrier!
:-)
The antenna was already redesigned for Verizon. It had to be to move from GSM to CDMA. The better SoC is a good reason to wait though, along with whatever else Apple dreams up. It's only going to be a few months between iPhone 4 availability and the iPhone 5. I can wait.
I’ve not seen this independently confirmed - everyone else out there is referencing back to MacRumors....
I’m not going to trust anything on this until I see it sourced from someplace in addition to MacRumors.
And what I’ll believe is a direct email from Verizon to me confirming details. I signed up to get one :)
I’m not sure which is more frustrating... not being able to get a signal or having a signal and not being able to text, email, or open web pages.
I simply can’t wait for the Verizon network to bog down when the iPhone hits it. I will be laughing my behind off when all those who talked about putting the iPhone on Verizon would be great because of Verizon’s “great” network and they will have the same problems that they were having on AT&T.
I will also be enjoying the added benefit of all these people off my network....lol.
I’m curious- does Verizon actually think they have to “bait in” AT&T customers by giving huge (by their own standard) trade-ins? I’m pretty sure that most folks who WANT a Verizon iPhone won’t need such incentive to jump...
Has Verizon actually released the official rate plans/data package pricing yet? If not, why would anyone sign-up without knowing? They touted the “mobile hotspot” early-on, and said they would offer “unlimited data packages”...
BINGO!!!!!!!
