apple.com allowing me to add new iPhone to Verizon account with unlimited

[imyers1011]

So, if the iPhone box is scanned by the Apple employee in the store, nothing special happens when you turn the phone on for the first time?

I thought there was a difference between the scan activation and whatever happens with the SIM card when you first turn on the phone (hence some people swapping SIMs before turning on, etc.)

Also, what if you AOL a line to someone, but they don't activate a new device on it (ie. the line is sitting in their account with no phone attached) – what happens to the original iPhone 6 SIM? I'm guessing that it's still active, and if you turned that phone on, it would work, but whoever received the new line, would be paying for the phone.

1. The SIM swapping is just what I had done because I wanted current number on iPhone 6. I guess I was the first to do it, so most people just followed what was known to work.

2. That's exactly what I've been saying. You either have to remove the SIM from the phone or activate new SIM before selling sealed SIM or person who buys phone can absolutely use it.

In the end, of the 2 phones I sold I removed the SIM. On the to AOLed lines I did I gave them the SIM tied to the line. Unfortunately the phones they had used micro SIM so they had to get new Sims anyway.

How soon before you sell it ?

CNotes could you post your steps for the entire process of AOLing the line and then selling the phone, and whether you sell it sealed or unsealed? Would be much appreciated!

The contract is not affected by creating a subaccount at all.

I did it! But now I can't login to MyVerizon. I get a service temporarily unavailable error, is that normal?

Not sure about that. Your subaccount will need to be registered with its own login info. Your main login will remain the same for the lines on the main account.

I can't seem to sell my Unlimited line with 5 friends and family on it . Not sure if the market is flooded or what. I might need to just let you sell it and I give you 10%

Thanks so much for your help! Had to clear my browser cache and now I'm good. Going to try and add 2 more lines tomorrow, my wife is demanding a 6!

I think you forgot a zero to the right of that zero

I think you forgot a zero to the right of that zero

And I think that you used way to many of these things

And I think that you used way to many of these things

Quite frankly I don't think I used ANY of those emojis

Are you try to sell the entire plan with 5 lines? That would be difficult. Try selling each line separated or in pairs.

To the people taking advantage of this hole, have any of you considered just taking on the new line as a primary line (thereby sacrificing your original number)?

While it's a bit of a pain, Verizon is clamping down hard on unlimited subscribers who are off-contract. Starting next week they'll start throttling, but thankfully it doesn't apply to those who are under contract.

With this method you've guaranteed at least 2 more years of throttle-free unlimited plans. Worth it just to lose your original # and sell it off, no?

Line 1: iPhone 4s, UDP, month to month
Line 2: New apple.com UDP with iPhone 6

Question:
I have a iphone 4s with UDP, out of contract and eligible for upgrade. I was able to add a UDP line through Apple.com. I picked up the phone at the Apple retail store. They scanned it, it shows up on my account now as an unlimited line. I haven't opened it yet.

Can I turn it on, activate it, then go to a Verizon store and have them swap my phone numbers? Put phone number from Line 1 on new Line 2 and vice versa?

Second question:
I thought about borrowing a 5s, activating it on Line 1, do BB method and use my upgrade to get iPhone 6. Can I suspend Line 2, sell the line and the phone doing AOL?

Thank you in advance. I tried reading the last several pages, but could not find an answer. Better options anyone can think of, I'm open to any suggestions because I'm really confused right now.

Numbers are tied to the unlimited data line with verizon, and there is no way to just swap them without using tricks like google voice. They won't just "do" it for you.
