HOW TO SIGN UP FOR NEW EVERY TWO
You are automatically enrolled when you sign up for a 2-year agreement on a calling plan with
a monthly access of $34.99 or higher. If you maintain service on a calling plan of $34.99 or
higher and fulfill your 2-year term, you will qualify for a free wireless device. If your calling plan
monthly access is $79.99 or higher for the entire three months prior to completing your New
Every Two wireless device upgrade, you will get up to $100 toward the purchase of that wireless
device. If your calling plan monthly access was between $34.99 and $79.98 at any time during
the three months prior to completing your New Every Two wireless device upgrade, you will get
up to $50 toward the purchase of that wireless device. When completing your New Every Two
upgrade, you will need to renew your agreement for another two years on a calling plan with a
monthly access of $34.99 or higher. If you are not currently in the program, you can enroll by
agreeing to a new 2-year term on a calling plan with a monthly access of $34.99 or higher. You
will be eligible to take advantage of the wireless device offer at the end of the 2-year term.
Subject to the Customer Agreement and calling plan.
You must retain the same wireless device for 24 months in order to receive the advantages of this program. If you
choose to replace your wireless device at a discounted price, you will forfeit your benefits and be automatically
re-enrolled if you meet the requirements of the program. If you enrolled in the program on or after 11/25/02, you must
take advantage of the New Every Two offer within six months after becoming eligible; otherwise, you may be charged
full retail price to upgrade your current wireless device. Discount amount will be applied toward the 2-year Customer
Agreement retail price. Secondary Family SharePlan®lines are not eligible to participate in the program.
The New Every Two discount cannot exceed the price of the wireless device after mail-in rebates. If your 2-year
Customer Agreement with a digital calling plan of $34.99 or higher began on or after 6/2/03, you were automatically
enrolled in the program. Customers who began their 2-year agreements on or after 4/1/00 on a digital calling plan of $35
or higher were also automatically enrolled in the program. If you enrolled in the program prior to 2/5/06 and continued
to meet the requirements of the program, you will be eligible for a free wireless device up to $100, or a credit of up to
$100 toward a more expensive wireless device, when you become eligible for your next New Every Two upgrade (after
which time you will be enrolled in the $50/$100 New Every Two program described in the New Every Two brochure).
New Every Two discount amounts and calling plan tiers subject to change at Verizon Wireless’ sole discretion.
