The lowest price, without a discount, that I see on the Verizon site is $129. If you get a phone off Craig's List, be sure that it can be made compatible with Verizon. I don't know if that's a problem, or not.



Depending on how much time you have left on your contract, you may or may not have a discount applied to replacing your phone. I'd suggest going to %26quot;My Verizon%26quot; and creating an account. You can check to see how much phones cost, and whether you have a discount. https://login.verizonwireless.com/amserv

In the right margin of the page that comes up after you log in, is a section called %26quot;Quick Links%26quot;--click on %26quot;Upgrade Your Phone.%26quot;

Be sure to click on %26quot;Show Upgrade Discounts,%26quot; on the next screen, to see if you qualify for any money off.



I'd go ahead and call a real, live person, if you don't qualify for a discount, and see if they can do anything for you. Who knows? You can't be the first who sent their telephone through the wash.



Here's a quote from the site:

How is my upgrade price calculated?

By extending your contract, you may qualify for a discounted price, depending on when you last purchased a new phone at a discounted price, and your contract term.

- Customers on a one-year contract may upgrade at a discounted price after 10 months.

- Customers on a two-year contract may upgrade at a discounted price after just 20 months.

Plus, if you're currently enrolled in our New Every Two program*, you will be eligible for an additional discount with a two-year contract extension.

You may always choose to upgrade without extending your contract at full retail price.

OR just go to a verizon.How much will it cost for me to get a replacement phone from Verizon Wireless?Unless you have insurance, at least $150 for the bare bones model. As the model improves, the price goes up. My advice would be to look on craigslist and/or Ebay for the phone you want. You'll be able to save money that way.
