I wouldn't say it's low. It has worked for people. All you can do is try it yourself if you really want to go that route and get a 6+. How long will it take to get a 6+ delivered to you? You have to factor in how much longer adding UDP via Apple.com will remain open. You can always buy a 5s or 5c or a regular 6 now to secure a UDP line and get a 6+ doesn't the road via eBay or swappa....

agreed. is having UDP more important or having a iPhone 6 plus?

Can't believe nothing is available for 6+ phones :(

you must already have a udp, if contract free. try sim swap?

My brother wants to join the shared plan from another carrier. He doesn't care about the phone as long as he can get a UDP line. Getting the 6+ would be a nice upgrade for me and I'd give my brother my iphone 5.

You guys are both right. I should just get the line in case the UDP ends...but then again...the market is flooded with people selling them now :p

Still can't place orders. Doesn't matter whose Verizon account I use- whose name i put the order under, what billing or email addresses I use, the orders get cancelled. Not an email cancellation they just get silently cancelled

I have done a considerable amount of phones.

One last question. Is it possible to add a UDP to an account with a share everything plan? For example. If I had one line on a share everything with 2 GB, can you add the UDP to the share everything plan for minutes and messaging?

When do you sign your SE with 2GB ? If before August, you can combine with UDP and it'll turn to Nationwide T&T share plan. You can convert your TDP line to dumb phone. You don't have to pay data for the dumb phone. That's what I did until Apple is "generous" to allow me to add more UDP Lines. So, I sell some UDP Lines + Iphones to cover my ETF for that dumb phone and pocket some ca$h.

Ship to home worked for me

No. Not that I have seen. Have you?

Tried doing the exchange today. No luck. Went early too. They won't let me exchange for the phone I'm returning (because it has the 2GB plan, failed to score the UDP). Anyway, I asked them if they have phones for exchange/warranty replacement, they said no. This is the 3rd NYC store that told me no.

It's true - earlier in this thread I stated as much. 72 business hours is not unusual, and your credit card and/or Apple may take up to a week depending the terms of your temporary authorizations and pending activation. It took 3 days for VZW to release a temporary hold on my account and release a line from a returned iPhone - after VZW bunged up the order and activation! It's not in your email, but I'm still waiting for Best Buy to release two holds on cancelled orders from almost 7 days ago. I read over on Slickdeals earlier today that a poster had waited 17 days to get a pending activation released, and it hadn't happened yet...

Still having the problem on my account. Does anybody know of the quickfix to speed up the process. Apple says that their servers are directly linked to Verizon's. So I can't understand why I can upgrade through Verizon but not Apple. I really want a few more lines with unlimited data and I also want to 6+. I'm kind of bummed out because I watched 2 6+ be posted on Istock for my area and had no chance to get them. Somebody please help me out. It's been since Saturday morning when I cancel the preorder through Verizon. I also had my parents complete an assumption on Saturday afternoon and still I am not able to add a line to my account. I don't want to miss this loophole and any more phones.
 
Ordered my iphone 6 with add a line on unlimited data plan, but its shipping to my house. Do i need to take it the apple store to activate it? Does this process only work for in store pick up? Please help...

Activate it at home. It works with ship to home.

Has anyone had to cancel an AOL? Is it possible? The buyer paid, but hasn't completed the process.

Did buyer say when he will complete it or why he hasn't already? If you are going to cancel the aol you need to refund the money to buyer but not before you first deauthorize the aol to the buyer. BUT if it hasn't been a LONG time since you authorized the aol I would just be patient especially of buyer said why he hasn't already done the aol.
 
ok.. im a newbie

Thank u cnote2019.
im still lost.... is there certain way I need to activate to get unlimited data?..its my first time activating iphone... please help with some detail procedure... do I need to make any calls or use verizon online activation?

At this point all you can do is wait. I returned an iPhone 6 on Thursday last week, and was told the funds and hold would be gone in 72 business hours - that's today. At 72 hours, just like clockwork the slate was cleared and I'm good to go again. I've stayed up a bit late to see if a VZW phone 6 or 6+ would show up locally, but no go so I'm turning in for now. I can order another line with UL data on it, and I've been reading the Slickdeals thread - it's sounding like the options are dwindling and the VZW hawks are circling.

You did your thing on Friday, the day after mine. Wait 72 hours, then call in to Apple if it goes much beyond that...
 
The problem I continue to have is my new apple.com add-a-line UDP ip6 still won't activate. I've tried everything short of calling apple or verizon: won't activate using cellular, wi-fi, itunes, and now won't work with swapping various sims I have.

Any last suggestions - hate to return this new ip6 and line.

I had success personally ordering online the first time around. Shipped to my house, turned on phone, activated without issue. This was on a regular 6.

Buyer keeps telling me he's about to do it. I definitely would refund him, I'm not doing this for the money. If he can't complete it for whatever reason I'd like to pass this along to someone who will use it. Today is day 3. Just curious if I can cancel the AOL (if it comes to that) and release it to another name.

Yes you can cancel it and authorize someone else to take it over.

But I would give him/her a little more time.
 
I cancelled one order and tried to order another one because of a different model phone for the unlimited data line for my family plan that I wanted. I only have one line available at a time before I am maxed out and I assume that that one line was taken up by my now cancelled line.

How long does it take to have the cancellation clear out so I can order the right model phone? Any thoughts and ideas on this?

When I did it it usually took 5 to 8 hours but it definitely could take longer (a day maybe). I would give it 5 hours and try again. If it says that there is another order on the account than its too soon and you should wait more times. Usually I also got a cancellation email besides one time I received nothing.

Another thing is if you want to add more lines beyond the 5 max you can call in and ask to create a du account and move some of your existing lines to the sub account and then you can add more lines to your account. I think max is 10 in all.

Yes create the sub account before activating the new phone. I made the mistake of not doing that and I already had 5 lines. Verizon created the sub account for me when the Apple Store rep scanned and activated my phone. It caused me to have a 2gb data plan instead of the unlimited that I had selected when I ordered the phone.
