You can still add a line if you have a suspended line, as long as the line you are adding *from* is not suspended. This means the number you enter into the apple website.

oh jackpot! I was under the impression you couldn't have any suspended lines. Thanks guys!
 
Billed separately but at the same time.

It's like having two voice plans.
My advice don't mess with subs unless you have an old account and great credit

My account is very old and great credit history.

I have a big family, but don't want to pay more than the cost of "additional lines". If splitting into subaccounts will cost more, I guess I'll live with 5 lines only.

Thanks for the reply.
 
I'm looking to give away a Verizon unlimited data plan what's the best website to do it? No one is responding on Craigslist
 
Guys I have moved a few of these lines under the new option on Apples website..

I have 2 left and just noticed something that may cause us concern..

When i look at the indivudual number, under contract info there is a note that reads

* A data plan (minimum of 30 a month) is required for your date contract term..

Now i have other unlimited lines on my account that were OLD and I used the best buy method to extend the contract date.. ovbiously this note is not on these lines.

My thought that this note on the account MIGHT be the out verizon needs to cancel the line and charge us full price for the phones we have bought....since WE are not abiding by the terms of the contract....

Any thoughts?

Any customer agreement created after 8/24/14 has that as a term. If you used the BB method after 8/24/14 you may not see the asterisk online, but your CA has that in it as part of its terms.

This has been well publicized. Verizon can take away anyone's UDP for any reason at any time, on or off contract. Off contract, they can just take it away and you have no recourse. On contract, they have to give you 60 days written notice to object and then let you out of the contract w/o an etf if you object. So you are better protected on contract b/c losing the subsidy is something that would deter Verizon from taking your UDP.

5 lines max on a legacy NW family share plan. Any more and you have to have a subaccount with another NW family share plan, which costs more.

No exceptions.

Thanks

I hope that ALL those people on this board who have sold multiple :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: multiple lines are safe...
Can you imagine all the paypal disputes over the lines being cancelled....ouch....
 
For the AOL procedure, the seller of a UDP only needs the buyers name for verizon to swap it over? Then the buyer completes everything else?
 
Ok was it one of you trolling me on HoFo asking me to pay THEM to take a UDP from me?
 
Thanks

Umm, you aren't understanding what I am saying. Verizon can take UDP off of ANY line at any time. If Verizon takes away your UDP and you are on contract you have 60 days from receiving written notice of this change to object. And if Verizon won't restore your UDP, you have to be let out of your contract w/o an eft.

The people the most protected from having UDP taken away from them are those with the longest terms remaining on their contracts b/c Verizon would take the biggest financial hit if they had to let those people out of contract w/o etf b/c you got a subsidized phone in return for signing on for another 2 years. The longer you have left on contract, the less time Verizon has had to recoup the subsidy through your monthly wireless fees.

You seem to think the $30/mo data plan in the contract somehow makes you more vulnerable to Verizon taking away your UDP. I am telling you, no, just the opposite - being off contract makes you more vulnerable. And having an older contract that doesn't have that term in it does not protect you either as VERIZON CAN TAKE YOUR UDP AWAY ON OR OFF CONTRACT DOESN'T MATTER. With the older contracts, they have less time left on them so Verizon has recouped more of the subsidy and it would be less costly for Verizon to let someone out of an older contract.

Again, the longer the term left on your contract, the MORE protected you are b/c Verizon would be taking a bigger financial hit if they had to let you out of contract w/o an etf.

Also, when someone assumes liability on a line, they are taking it subject to Verizon's T&C's which they have to agree to in order to have the line AOL'ed to them. Sounds like you have never been on the receiving end of an AOL.

The CA and T&C's are clear - Verizon can change your plan AT ANY TIME. These lines are not special lines that can't have their UDP cancelled and no one is promising anyone that. If the buyer is mistaken and thinks that Verizon cannot take their UDP away for the term of the contract, that is b/t them and Verizon, not b/t the seller of the UDP line and the buyer. The buyer is responsible for understanding what Verizon's CA and T&C's are.

Has anyone been successful with in store pick-up for add-a-line if the only text option at checkout is unlimited?

I don't have an option to change it - it simply defaults to my existing family plan.

Thanks

Change your family plan's texting to pay as you go, add the line, p/u in store, activate the phone and then change the texting plan back to UL.

Got a UDP line if anybody wants it. Free! Just need to unload it.
While I could give a rat's ass whether or not anyone trades UDP lines on this thread, I really don't want the thread to get shut down again as it is a valuable source of information as well as entertainment so I think it is best if we don't unload lines on this thread. Cnotes posted the options of where you can do this. You also may be able to do it on Android Central and iMore's marketplaces, idk, you can ask the mods there.

Idk why they shut the thread down last time but it could have been b/c of offering lines or talking about tax implications of all of this. So I would appreciate it if people didn't discuss things on the thread that may result in it being shut down again or offer lines here.

Do what you want as I am not a mod here but if you value this thread, let's not offer lines here unless the mods give their express approval for us to do it. Again, I really don't care if people do it, but I do care if the thread gets shut down again.

And this will have no effect on UDP and discounts on plan (talk & text data
-$20 is my main concern)?

No. If you have a promo that requires you have an UL text plan, then removing the UL text plan will affect that promo. AFAIK, the talk and text $20 data promo goes away if you remove the UL texting. You can call Verizon to confirm.

I would not eff around with the $20 talk and text data promo.
