I think key is to have same messaging plan on the new line which is existing ony our current calling plan. The activation date needs to set correctly. Problem is Apple shows ship date couple of weeks in future but they ship in 2 weeks so first place is to go to Apple Store and get activation request sent from Apple to Verizon, wait for 24 hours and then directly try activating phone. I think this would work without having to call Verizon. I called them for number porting and not even once they got clue about UDP on new line. If Apple sends activation request then line would get automatically added with UDP on it to your account. Verizon Credit department simply performed this step manually (pushing line on my account).
Got a tip for us?

I have a Corp discount on only 1 of my lines. Were you able to use your same discount across all lines, or do you have multiple employers? I'd love to get the discount on my other lines. Just trying to understand how to do that.
I'm not sure about that. I had 5 lines and the sub account was automatically made for me and I lost the udp on the iPhone I had just picked up. Maybe if you already have a sub account before ordering or activating then it might work.
I have 2 dumb phones on a sub account, 5 UDP lines on my regular account; if I order an iP6 with UDP it will show up on the sub?
Just cover all your bases and move 2 lines to your subaccount. I don't want to be responsible for a fluke
at least for mine, the discount is applied to the primary line. and if it's family share plan, discount reflects the talk and text.
but data part... not so sure.
I have a corporate discount on the base plan and the 20 dollar per line discount on 5 lines (talk txt data 20 dollar discount). This is why I am hesitant to transfer any of these lines to a subaccount. Whenever I have had to involve verizon in a change to one of these lines (i.e. moving from a data capable basic phone to smartphone a few years back) the discount has dropped off. It took months to get it back and I suspect now it would be impossible.

How many AOL's are possible in 1 billing cycle?
Is that why I am not getting the option to add an unlimited data plan? I have a Nationwide 550 Family plan? Forgive me for not reading through the entire thread. I'm confused as to why I can't add an unlimited line like everyone else. I have an old family plan with 2 unlimited data lines.
Quick question - if I'm selling a phone that's on a new line, how do I make sure that the person getting the phone isn't automatically on my line? Do I need to add a new device to the line via the web first?
Would like to offload the phone still sealed in the box if possible.

My understanding is that you do an AOL of the line, and they have to activate the line once you do the AOL. Then, when you sell the phone, the buyer will have to insert a new SIM card, because the current SIM card (inside the phone, inside the sealed box) is tied to a number that is on someone else's account, and it simply won't work.
So either physically meet up with the buyer with a sealed box, unseal it in front of them, and remove the current SIM, or say in your eBay description that the buyer will have to insert a new SIM in order for the phone to work.
I like the idea of the seller removing the SIM, that way you can ensure no issues.
let me know what you think, and what you end up doing
It depends on your state's taxes. For me, it comes to about $47/mo to add a UDP line to my nationwide family share plan.
----------
No. Here is the situation - 2 UDP lines, 1 wifi only iPad. Cost is $85/mo for 700 minutes + unlimited texts + $40/mo per UDP line ($10 line access + $30 UDP) = $165/mo. If my mother could use her iPhone as a MHS, then the iPad has unlimited data, too for no extra charge.
If we do it your way, then the iPad can be a MHS, but my mother's iphone needs its own data plan so that would be another $40/mo = $205/mo. Plus I would have to buy her an LTE iPad.
----------
I can't add one, either. If you have an older plan like you have and I have, you can only add lines through Verizon.
----------
But you still have a pending order on your line so you can't add a line until you complete the BB method.

It's not sad for the buyers and that is how capitalism works. Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.I can understand if it's not about the money but it's sad to see these plans going for so low on ebay now. Instead of everyone working together to make these more valuable, it's just a race to the bottom.
Verizon Nationwide Talk & Text 450 - $59.99 monthly
Verizon Nationwide Talk & Text 900 - $79.99 monthly
Verizon Nationwide Talk & Text Unlimited - $89.99 monthly
+ $30 for the UDP data plan.
I have 450 Minutes for $39.99
250 texts for $5.00
and UDP for $29.99
Total cost (before any discounts/taxes): $74.98
You could also go with a pay-per use text msg plan and pay $69.98.
I'm in, now shut the door so no one else can get in!
----------
Exactly - the more on contract UDP lines that are out there, the less willing Verizon will be to eff with us b/c that would be a lot of subsidy they paid and will lose if they have to let us out of our contracts without paying etf.
----------
what do you mean got restricted by ebay?
What is this talk, text and data discount you speak of? I have a employee discount with vzw but this sounds better. Lol
I thought that apple had a limit of 10? Is a good amount more like 10 or more like 20?
