We are not eligible for upgrades until next May and June.  My husband and daughter have different iPhones (4 & 5c).  Because the iPhone and windows phones can't share calendars between each other, I miss important things being added.  It is really a pain to have to peel off the otterbox case and snap out the battery on a regular basis to reboot the phones.  Does anyone know of a way we could get the iPhone 5c without having to pay for an upgrade?  Since the problems are inherent to the phone itself causing it to be defective, we think verizon should let us pick a better phone for replacement.
