I have a question about this method of upgrading that maybe someone can shed some light on. Here is my situation. I have 3 Lines. Line 1: Droid Incredible 1.0 with ULD(Upgrade Available), Line 2: iPhone 4s with ULD(No Upgrade), Line 3: LG Flip phone for home(No Upgrade). If I am to do what others have done and transfer my upgrade to line 3 to get iphone 5 and follow the posted instructions, please answer the following.
1) Transfer to line 3 will extend or "renew" contract with Vzw for 2 years on line 1?
2) I must activate iP5 on line 3 first without turning it on.( I will be doing this online). How long do i wait to reactivate flip phone to line 3?
3) After flip phone is reactivated on line 3, and i wait 24 hrs for "sim reset" in iP5, I will be without phone on line 1 during "sim reset" period?
AND last but most important and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one little caveat.
4) If the answer to question 1 is "yes", then doesn't this new contract give VZW the right to terminate ULD at any time since by transfering and renewing my contract for 2 years on line 1, I am agreeing to all new terms and conditions regarding VZW service? This is huge because if this is the case, then this is how they can terminate my grandfathered ULD. The only way i see that they couldn't do this is if line 3 was already eligible for an upgrade which would mean there is no reason for me to transfer from line 1. This is not the case however for me but I just wanted to know since this could effectively end my ULD if i upgrade via this method.
