An anonymous reader writes: Verizon is offering up to $650 to customers who switch to their network. PC Mag reports: "To get the discount, you'll need to port your number to Verizon, trade in your current device, and buy a new 4G LTE smartphone. Verizon will give you up to $650 on a prepaid card to cover the installment plan balance, minus the device trade-in value, or up to a $350 via a prepaid card to cover your old carrier's early termination fees (minus the device trade-in value). Your existing phone needs to be in 'good working condition,' and you have to keep your new Verizon line active for at least six months."

very happy with Google Fi by chrispitude · 2015-12-28 22:08 · Score: 5, Interesting

My wife and I both switched from Verizon to Google's Project Fi. Even with the ETFs, even with paying the 24-month amortized payments on the Nexus 5X, we're at break-even in four months, and it's gravy from there on out. The cost savings was huge. Once we did the numbers, it was a no-brainer to break our Verizon contracts early. Fi's coverage so far has been excellent.
