He means activation fee. AFAIK, the activation fee is charged to the account the line was created on. The person who assumes liability for a line only is responsible for charges incurred on the day of AOL forward. Even though the activation fee doesn't show up on your bill until the next billing cycle, you incur it upon activating the line.
Perhaps Marky could confirm since he must have surely hit a new billing cycle by now.
Has anyone had anyone have issues assuming a line and VZW telling the person they would lose the UDP if they assume the line? The person that is trying to assume it is on a More Everything plan. Would they need to change their plan in order to assume the line?
Don't quote me on this but they may be able to convert a ME plan to nationwide plan and then assume the udp line OR maybe they can just put the udp line on a subaccount
I live 2.5 hours away from my Apple Store. Takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hours from start to finish, depending on how long it takes to process.

Yay! Rock on
If they don't set up a subaccount, Verizon will merge the UDP line into the ME plan when they AOL it and the UDP will be lost. What they need to do is this:
1) Set up a subaccount and move the ME plan into it; and
2) AOL the UDP into the main account.
Then if they want to I believe they can merge the ME lines into the UDP line to become one Nationwide Family Share plan. Then the subaccount is empty and can be deleted.
I'll answer this for myself- I sell the phones new as the buyers know the sim needs to be removed. Never had a problem. 50+ phones

If you're on another carrier besides Verizon, you 100% for sure can keep your number! If you're with Verizon, there are tricks you have to utilize to get the existing number on an unlimited line
----------
You can change your billing address very quickly on my Verizon

The person who creates the line pays the activation fee.
PSA - the droid turbo is looking like it is the finest android phone ever made. If the chinese code seller can get a hold of the bootloader unlock codes, it would be a phone to die for.

The GIGANTIC Nexus is my choice for a phablet, but if the phablet ends up being too big for someone, they should take a look at the Droid Turbo.

Yes- they have to be on a nationwide plan!! They can put the nationwide plan on the account as a sub account, then take the lines from the ME plan and move it to nationwide

Eww.
My 6 plus is the best phone I've ever used. Hands down.
So I waited 3 hours for that returned phone in the next city over to give it time to unassociate with whomever's line it was previously associated with. Then I put it in my cart and checked out and BAM! Someone took it from me, grrrrrr!!!!
----------
----------
Why does it only show up for a 6+ order and not the 6's? What billing address would I even put. It all matches otherwise.
I bet you the chinese code seller will have bootloader unlock codes.It's everything the nexus 6 could have been
Yes I believe Jules is correct any charges billed prior to the assumption (activation fees and the phone cost if purchased from V) would be billed to the person who had the contract at the time
In your opinion are there any truth to having your account flagged, preventing you from doing AOL, simply by doing too many AOL in a short period of time? And how many AOL is considered a lot anyways?
If it's flagged who should I be talking with? Thanks.
You might want to put the phone you're looking for in a cart, then save it. You can have more than one cart. Add a credit card to it as well. When you do see the phone you want, go to your Saved cart and click that one to add to your general Cart again. And you're about 5 seconds away from purchasing. It will ask for your credit card's security 3 or 4 digits again.
This was an interesting messsage I got. Thought it was done, as I created a sub account a few days ago and then activated an old droid on a line that I was selling an iPhone off of. It wouldn't let activate my droid online, and said something odd about line type being uneligble. I called in and the rep was able to activate it. The iPhone from that line was also activated by the guy who bought it from me just fine.
Then I find a 16gb avialable nearby and get this a few times in a row:
After a few tries it went through as normal and now I'm awaiting pickup notice.

Verizon has different codes for a UDP line with a 3G device on it and a UDP line with a 4G LTE device on it. This is b/c if you have a 3G device on a UDP line, Verizon can throttle you if you are in the top 5% of UDP users. They do that by attaching another code to your line for the rest of the billing cycle through the next billing cycle.
They threatened to do that to UDP lines with 4G LTE phones on them starting 10/1/14 but the FCC put a stop to it.
But what you did when you put the 3G device on your line was to actually change the UDP line code. That is what was causing the problem with apple.
I hope it doesn't cause problems with activation.
What can I do to put a placeholder on the line? I had a verizon customer who needed that new iPhone today, and didn't have time to find a buyer of the line?
Ok, Here's the follow up. Received phone via UPS this evening (10 days earlier than the original ship date). I used Wifi during the initial setup and the phone activated without any issues. The new line now appears in my account and shows unlimited data. Could not have gone any smoother!
Verizon won't put dummy ESNs on lines anymore AFAIK and you need to be very careful with any dummy ESNs you find online as most are for basic lines and will cause you to lose UDP.
You can go back to the 4G UDP by putting another 4G LTE phone back on the line.

Awesome!!!! Thanks for reporting back!!!!Ok, Here's the follow up. Received phone via UPS this evening (10 days earlier than the original ship date).

Yes.
Your account can be put on a 6 month hold which means you can't add any lines during that time. I have been put on this hold in the past. They wanted 6 months of good pay history. They say there is no way around this. There is, if you know how to communicate, and are persistent.
You should be able to do as many AOLs as you'd like. I don't think that causes problems.
Again, get the word flagged out of your head. That's a word other people in this thread made up. It either gets reviewed for fraud, and put on a hold, or the credit department stops you because they aren't sure that you have decent enough credit to add lines or can't verify you.
You need to find out which one causes the problem and talk to them.
Are you currently having these problems?

What I do is take the sim out of the new phone and put it in my personal iPhone. That way, on the new line it had MY iPhone not the old iPhone. Then, I put my SIM card back. Effectively your phone is on 2 lines, but that doesn't matter, what matters is what SIM card is where.
I know way too much about this s41t
so my family member changed her mind and wants Note 4. Would reselling iphone 6 cover the cost of it? Or 6+?
No
It would help cover the cost, but not cover it.
You can probably get between 400-500 in the BEST circumstances. I get 300 per 5s- I don't sell directly to consumer, though.
Figure out your costs- how much you would pay, how much they are selling for, and what you get after fees.
Would you not be able to add a line through Apple if that happened or would you be able to add a line but it just wouldn't activate?
That is what flagged means - your activity is suspicious enough to trip a "flag" within the system, prompting a review and a hold.
I would need to try this b/c a Verizon phone cannot be on 2 Verizon lines at one time and every line must have a phone on it based on everything I have tried. Are you saying you do this:
1) You have your iP6+ on your UDP Line 1;
2) You have a new iP on new UDP Line 2;
3) You shut off both phones and remove the SIM cards; and
4) You place new UDP Line 2's SIM card in your iP6+ and turn it on.
Now your iP6+ works on new UDP Line 2? What do you see when you do that and log onto Verizon online - do you see your iP6+ on both Line 1 and Line 2? Or does your UDP Line 1 not show a device?
