call aol department and put in a fake AOl authorization and ask for the change. Then cancel the fake AOl authorization.

Are you putting smiley faces in your responses and otherwise acting like a clueless old person b/c that is what I do and it seems to work. They feel sorry for me for being clueless.
If you can make $385 off of the sale of the iPhone it is risk free. That is a bit hard to do now.
I've got a bunch of people who have been on the fence about getting a UDP and now that I've told them tomorrow is their last chance they seem scared and I don't think any of them are going to take a line. I'm going to laugh when they come back wishing they grabbed a line
I'll be like have you ever considered a lease ???
LOL! ikr what are people thinking?I've got a bunch of people who have been on the fence about getting a UDP and now that I've told them tomorrow is their last chance they seem scared and I don't think any of them are going to take a line.

Well, my parents are thinking about moving off Sprint. They probably use less than 2GB between them, but I'm paying $60/month after my corporate discounts on AT&T. I may just give them the line since they can still get a subsidized upgrade. The bigger issue is that the AT&T number has basically been my main phone number for the past 9 years. Giving it up will take some transition time (but I did manage to get an easy to remember "round" 312 number from VZW). Too bad the Google Voice port loophole doesn't work on AT&T.
If I really want tethering, I can just pop the SIM card into my iPad Air 2, but the tethering plan costs me $24 after my corporate discount. I'm currently using a promotional $20 T-Mobile 3GB plan in my iPad that ends in January. I might use my Apple SIM to buy the $10 one-time 5GB plan that lasts for up to 5 months. After that, the $24 tethering add-on for VZW doesn't look so bad. My corporate profiles won't allow JBing a phone.
Yeah... I mean I added 2 lines in total, so I'll be selling two iphones. Which should cover the cost of a Note 4. So basically I will get my note 4 for free when all is said and done... bleh... good enough for me
Can't you change your phone number online on ATT?

What, you mean you didn't get to remodel your house doing this?!?!!?!!?
I was too late to the party to actually take advantage. I'm just glad I finally got what I did haha. A million questions later anyways ;P
I just had my first failure with the chat reps
They said I am not eligible for the loyalty plan. Hmmmm, I think something is up!!!!! I will do a fake AOL in the morning and get the line changed and then that is it for me.

today I was on the phone with Verizon for 7 hours in 5 phone calls which is more time than I've spent with them in the last 20 years!
I had one success but lots of "NO's" and lots of getting put on hold for 10 to 20 minutes at a time
Was lied to several times but thanks to you guys I was able to call them out on their BS and had them back peddling like crazy!
I do get the feelin somethin is up
What is up is the end to the $45/mo UDP MHS!!!! Make them while you can still do it the end is near!!!!!!!today I was on the phone with Verizon for 7 hours in 5 phone calls which is more time than I've spent with them in the last 20 years!

Crap tech support is getting the same error that the chat reps were getting!I do get the feelin somethin is up
Peeps the $45/mo UDP MHS plans may have just gotten incredibly valuable - it doesn't look like you can make them anymore!!!!
Tech reps just confirmed that the UDP is incompatible with the $15/mo loyalty plan so the jig is up!!!!!!
I will try an AOL rep in the morning but if that fails well, we all must accept defeat!

AT&T charges $36 to change numbers. And I'd actually ideally like to keep my AT&T number. But if I port it out then I'd wind up losing the AT&T UDP and my rollover minutes plan.
AOL department still open (must be 11pm Pacific time when it closes) but rep says cannot do it now - loyalty plan is incompatible with UDP!!!
Interesting. I wonder how the person who AOLed my account yesterday made out. I had processed a change effective with the next billing date (since I had already gone over 30 minutes). But his billing cycle ended yesterday, so perhaps he got the $45 plan in before they closed the door. I ran My Verizon on the phone after the AOL at his request, and it confirmed the UDP was still there, and that there were a total of 15 prorated minutes left before the next cycle started (450/30).
So I guess this glitch wasn't intentional after all. Things must have gotten really out of hand with people converting at the last minute.
The glitch itself wasn't intentional, but leaving it out there for this long without doing anything may have been. VZW may have made a calculated gamble that it wouldn't spawn very many new accounts. But over the last 2-3 weeks this activity has probably spiraled to levels VZW wasn't anticipating.
Over on HoFo people are expecting a lot more clampdowns on UDP holders. I doubt that will happen, at least during the 2 year contracts. If they suddenly convert everyone to 2GB plans, they'll see mass cancellations without ETFs, and thus be out the subsidy they paid Apple on every phone purchased through this glitch.
Jules (or anyone else who is knowledgeable enough to answer),
Quick question for you. I currently have one line on VZW with an unlimited data plan on a NW single line. Is it still possible for me to open a second line via apple.com to get a subsidized iPhone 6 with unlimited data on the new line as well? If so, I'm going to be able to convert my existing single line's NW plan into a Family Share NW plan - is this possible? Thank you so much for all the info you provide!!

No it wasn't. They could not get Apple to allow them to fix it. And that is that. So instead they are doing what they can on their end.

I tried chat, tier 2 tech and AOL - all get the same error - incompatible with the UDP.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's. Looks like they shut down the $45/mo UDP MHS today so who knows what else will be shut down.

I hope you are a female b/c no one wants nudes of some guy, even women, lol! Seriously, do you guys think we are into it when you send nude pics to us? WE ARE NOT! Send us flowers instead, you will get a much better reaction out of us then a pic of you nude, lol!I feel inclined to send nudes to everyone who gave me answers throughout my journey.
What if I'm a sexy guy
haha. You know... I've never actually sent a nude that wasn't requested by the girl haha- Status
