Verizon confirms iPhone pre-orders for 3 AM on February 3

by Kelly Hodgkins Jan 28th 2011 at 8:45PM

Verizon is sending out emails to its customers confirming the details on the iPhone 4 pre-order. As rumored, pre-orders will begin promptly at 3 AM on February 3 for existing Verizon customers. The email points customers to an ordering page that is not yet available. The official iPhone page on Verizon has also been updated with a countdown timer and an invitation for customers to come back in five days to join the iPhone buying party.

Details on the purchasing process are not provided, but you will most likely have to log into your My Verizon account to confirm your eligibility as a Verizon Wireless customer. If you do not have a My Verizon account, you may want to sign up for one beforehand. You don't want to miss the pre-order because you were fumbling with the account setup. The quantity of iPhones available for Verizon's customers in this pre-order is limited, so you better get your game face on and prepare to do some early morning ordering.

I would totally do this pre-order, but they're going to ship FedEx, which always wants a signature on delivery, which always leads to a days-long ordeal trying to retrieve a package from them.

Now I'm annoyed because I have to wait the extra week.

So how exactly are we supposed to get a Verizon account like you suggest if we don't have a Verizon number?

The My Verizon account doesn't exist until you register for it, even if you're a Verizon customer. You wouldn't pre-sign as a Verizon customer, but pre-register for your My Verizon account.

Most average customers probably don't have an account. You really only need it if you want to buy a phone at Verizon's online store, which is almost always a bad idea.

Really??
The Verizon iPhone has two significant advantages over its AT&T brethren: unlimited data and a mobile hotspot. Now there's a rumor that at least one of those shortcomings on the AT&T version will be addressed in a future iOS update, 4.3.
If it is not rumors. I'll get an verizon iphone as well as iFunia iphone video converter.
If you are a movie lover, You'll do the same things as me.

I think it is ridiculous that they are offering this to existing customers first. They should be trying to hook new customers. That's historically how telecom companies operate. If you are an existing customer they already have you and your money, they don't need to do anything to keep you.
