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

Not open for further replies.
My friend can get a new UDP line. He wants an iP6+ but none available for p/u anywhere in his state nor are there any Verizon iP6!!

Should he risk ship to home? Or would you say he should wait for the iP6+ to come in-stock?
 
I promise I read the whole thread, it only took 6 hours. My mind is so scrambled that I can't remember if this was covered or not. Do we have to add our UDP's one at a time? (as in add a line, wait for phone to arrive, activate, then order another) Or are we able to place a few online orders adding lines and just activate them as they arrive? I'm trying to add 3 UDP's to my family plan making my total number of lines 5.


EDIT: Nevermind.

"An iPhone order already exists for this account.

There's an existing order on your Verizon Wireless account. You can only have one "add-a-line" order per account at a time.
You'll be able to place additional iPhone orders once you receive and activate this iPhone."

Bummer. Any way to circumvent this? I have no local stores to do pickups at.

No way to get around it unless you're Houdini

watch istocknow like a hawk especially over night and mid afternoon. If none within a week then ship to home ASAP. If all else fails he can buy some from me

Porting to GV took 24 hours. I'm still trying to port back. It's been 6 days and counting.

Yeap, I'm at over 36 hours on:

Your old service provider has authorized your port request, and we are currently transferring your telephone number to the Verizon Wireless network. You will receive a free text message on your Verizon Wireless handset with additional instructions once this process is complete. Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless.

I think a rep said it would be ready by the 14th. This was before the status changed to that though. I guess we will see how accurate he was

They aren't two separate accounts so any order placed with either will still be reflected and prevent you from ordering a second via Apple.com

Price to sell fast . Yes between the sub and main you can have 10 lines total. But you can always utilize your significant other/best friend/clueless neighbor to take at least one of your UDP lines and then you will be in business for even MORE UDP lines.

What color and storage size of the iP6 sells best in your experience?

Anyone else with an opinion please chime in!!
 
When transferring the liability of a line to another person, have you ever had an issue where the person receiving the line doesn't activate a new device on the line immediately?

So, in other words, the iPhone 6 (or whatever phone) is now in their account, until they activate a new device to replace that phone.

I'm just concerned that this could lead to that person reporting that iPhone 6 (or whatever phone) as lost or stolen, just to be mischievous, thereby basically bricking the phone still in my possession.

Any thoughts?

you might be over thinking this but even if it happened you can show Verizon you legitimately purchased the iPhone and the line and you would be fine

I do not accept credit cards. I accept paypal. The credit card company gets their money back from paypal, not me. Paypal is the one who accepts credit cards.

I do not have a contract with the credit card companies so they have no legal recourse against me.

but if you had paid with your cc, you would have gotten all of the money back from your CC. Obviously you didn't. Never buy anything from paypal unless you use a cc.

here are just a few of the things you agreed to if you have a paypal account; (it's over 24,000 words so this is just a few tidbits)

PayPal has the right to take money out of your bank account or charge your credit card anytime they want.

Sellers MUST accept credit cards as a funding source exposing these sellers to a very high rate of fraud (that PayPal will not protect you from).

PayPal holds YOU responsible for ANY charge backs made against you.

PayPal can deny you access to all of your money for 180 days or more.

PayPal can restrict what products you buy and sell with their service. PayPal can force you to edit the content of any website with their payment buttons on it.

PayPal holds you monetarily responsible for any Reversals, Charge backs, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by PayPal, a PayPal User, or a third party.

PayPal admits their protection policy is only PayPal's ability to get the money back from the seller. If PayPal is unable to get the money back from the seller (or unwilling to get the money back from the seller), the buyer gets nothing! PayPal will not pay to enforce its "buyer protection policy."

If a PayPal user tries to use PayPal's buyer protection coverage, and then files a chargeback with the credit card company, PayPal WILL fight the chargeback even if the PayPal user is claiming fraud. PayPal automatically fights the chargebacks of its own users.

if PayPal sues you, or you sue PayPal, and lose, YOU MUST PAY all of PayPal's expenses and attorney fees.

If you have a dispute with PayPal you must GO THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. The agreement has been modified to allow you to do this procedure over the telephone -- but costs you over $150 (not including the costs for witnesses, evidence and other fees)

If you sue PayPal, you must file your claim in the jurisdiction of Santa Clara County California

If you violate the user agreement by bringing a legal action against PayPal for amounts under $10,000, or over $10,000 in any legal jurisdiction OTHER THAN what PayPal has written, you must pay PayPal's costs and attorneys' fees regardless of whether you win or lose
 
This has always been the case. Billing address must match your ID
keitarou said:
Just wanted to share my experience. I finally was able to order a phone for pickup. I went today but weren't able to pick it up because my billing address was different from my drivers license. According to apple rep, there is a lot of fraud going on with Verizon recently that verizon has been clamping down and making sure everything checks out. I recently moved so my id didn't match. I have to change my address back to the old one to pick it up. Seems like Verizon has noticed all of the UDP being sold. Just though I share. This was in NYC btw.

How likely is it that Verizon is going to retroactively change all these "loopholed" unlimited plans to 2GB plans (or something) in the near future?
 
Ok folks, when does this end :p. I'm so surprised that this "bug" has gone on for this long. Not that I'm complaining in anyway. What do folks think of the disclaimer on the new UDP lines?

Outside of that, enjoy the UDP everyone!

It's possible, but then each and everyone of them could end their contract without ETF. That would then mean a lot of lost $$ for Verizon with the phone subsidies already paid out.

I think their party line is that they don't like UDP. They complain that it cost to much, clogs networks, etc. However this is just a ploy and PR. They do this so that they can push the FCC to allow them to get away with the crap that they pull. Very similar to the broadband carriers in the country trying to get out of net neutrality. I really don't think UDP costs them anything at all, and I doubt that many actually use it to its potential. However on the other hand they just got a crap load of folks stuck on contracts for the next two years. I think this is a win for everyone. Apple can say they sold ten trillion iPhones, Verizon locks in x amount of customers to drain them for two more years, and those of this thread make a little $.

I have one line available for 150$. It comes with 5 text plan $50 700 minutes and 29.99 unlimited data and 9.99 access fee. If you need a single line you can convert to 39.99 with 450 minutes.
 
FWIW, I just tried to AOL a UDP line I got from the Apple site. It was an individual line. 3 different Verizon reps told me that it could not be AOL'd to another person. They spoke on the phone to the other person as well. They said that because the data plan is 29.99 per month, and not 30, that they could not transfer the line to another person, because it requires a minimum data package of $30/month.

It seems like the Apple loophole is bypassing that 1 cent issue, and allowing the line to initially be created, but transferring it to another person trips that flag.

So, I don't know if this little party is over. But it seems to be for me.

Again, I spoke with several different reps, and the last one was very knowledgable.

Here is where it gets weird:
The rep also said, interestingly enough, that I could return the phone to the Apple store, but keep the Verizon line open. By returning the phone it turns the plan into an out of contract plan. At this point, I could transfer the line to someone else, and keep the unlimited data option. He kept saying that it had to be done within 14 days of opening the line.

I didn't fully understand how that would all work. But, the rep seemed like he knew what he was talking about.

Even if true, it's not worth my time.
