Image of the Verizon logoIf you’ve been thinking about getting yourself a new Verizon phone is either considered a “3G Smartphone” or a “3G Multimedia” device, which pretty much covers any phone you are likely to want from Big Red, you’ll be happy to hear that you can get a $30 credit for each 3G handset you buy.
Our Verizon source is telling us that, starting tomorrow, July 30th, the No. 1 wireless carrier in the US (by subscriber count) will entice customers to “rule the air” with this little cash-back incentive program.

The $30 credit applies to 3G enabled phones in Verizon’s “Smartphone” or “Multimedia” stable, which includes some of this summer’s hottest Android smartphones. So, if you’ve got your eye on the Motorola Droid X or the HTC Droid Incredible, or one of the carrier’s other compelling handsets, you can save yourself a good chunk of change by pulling the trigger on a purchase in the near future.

It’s not like Verizon needs this promotion to help them move superphones like the Droid X or the Incredible, seeing as how those devices are selling out just fine on their own. But, for all those other 3G devices that aren’t showing ship dates in August, you can earn yourself a $30 credit for each mobile phone you buy.

Just remember, you have to take advantage of this offer by August 8th. After that, we can’t say when Verizon will offer this cashback incentive again.
