My question though is you're only supposed to be able to have one Vzw account per person, how did you manage to get more then one? I'm not judging, I'd just like to do it myself!
I'm too arrogant to care if I'm judged, so there!
First, I'm happy to report that I am updating my new Slate Gray 128GB iPhone 6 that I picked up today and - ahem - had it activated in store this time. It's updating to 8.0.2 right now!
The account I added a line to had 3 lines with UL data. The one I had delivered and couldn't activate (described in an earlier post in this thread) was returned today. I did experience one problem in-store that led the Genius to call VZW - yes, I was apprehensive, but what happened next might answer your question.
I returned the iPhone that VZW mucked up yesterday, the order I cancelled through Apple. Last night, I logged into My Verizon to determine whether I could add a line - I could, so I trolled the "istocknow.com" web site, and found a 6 and a 6+ that worked for me, but I waffled for 10 minutes and the 6+ was gone. I then did the the "Buy Now" option for the device I wanted, selected the UL data option that was available to me, and made the purchase. I got my confirmation TM and email this morning @ 7 am that my order was ready.
Back to your question. During my pick up, the Genius got a message that he needed to contact VZW. I told him that, I wanted to know why and that, if the terms I agreed to weren't met that I would cancel on the spot. He was on the phone with VZW for 15-odd minutes - the feedback was that my return put a 72-hour hold on adding any additional lines. I asked the Genius to pose expediting that time limit, he conveyed my request, and they did. I brought my iPhone 5 with me, and checked that the new line was included in my account - it was (and still is), and it showed UL data and a contract date 2 years from now. So, success.
Evidently, VZW's activation servers are slammed - understandably. I think the only reason VZW shortened my wait time is due partly to the amount of business my company does with them - but it NEVER hurts to ask. I'm VERY assertive, but also very respectful - I treat the staff as I'd want to be treated, but I am aware of the crap that VZW is foisting off on us to get us on more expensive plans.
The returned iPhone is still in my account, but I'll call in a bit to get it deleted - and in 72 hours I'll check to see if there's a 6+ available for that 5th line in my account!
