It isn't suppossed to be advertised. Even with this level of exposure, you are going to get people that don't live in these regions (like our friend from NYC above) that want these deals but can't get them. They will obviously be upset. This is why it is an internal document so the employee will only make the offer if the customer is eligible. I'm sure there may also be some kind of mailer sent to the qualifying customers.

I see your point, but as somene who is eligible (I think), I would like to know about in a way other than reading it here. Besides, if the point is to get less spending customers to go out and get this deal, you'd think VZW would get it out to as many eligible folks as possible. It's all moot at this point, since now I know and will pop over to Target and see if it's for real.

You are right. The people that qualify should be made aware. It just won't be via mass advertisement.

Just please be careful when buying phones from an indirect agent... (Target, Walmart, GoWireless..) because you sign TWO contracts-one with them for the device and one with VZW for the service. If you don't like the phone that indirect agent has a totally different return policy. Most of the time it's only 3-7 days and VZW can't do a Worry Free Guarantee because they didn't provide the equipment... So before you buy from an indirect just make sure you like...
