<p>Just a note about Verizon: my family also has the share plan, and mine runs out at the end of the month. The “new every two” $100 credit towards a new phone ONLY APPLIES TO THE PRIMARY LINE. So, since I am a secondary line on the plan, I have to pay full consumer price if I want a new phone, in addition to renewing the plan for another 2 years, which is a tad ridiculous.</p>
