I believe they are no longer converting smartphone accounts to the loyalty plan without dropping unlimited data.

Anybody had a success with add a line apple.com and shipping to home? I received my Iphone 6 in Nov. 6, but it is Nov.12 today and it doesn't show up on my Verizon acct, neither it would activate. Original est. ship time was Nov.17-24. Applecare couldn't tell me when this phone is set to be activated.
I read here that after people return the phones...the lines show up on acct?! Would my phone ever activate, if I don't try to return it?
Does anybody have any answers?
So far I have only one UDP and one basic line on 700 FS plan. I would like to have 3 UDP lines and one basic line on this acct. for my own use, but since this Iphone 6 wouldn't activate..apple.com doesn't let me to add another new line with UDP, because my first added line is not activated?!
What should I do? I don't mind to wait another week, if it is true that my first line will activate without involving Verizon. What about, if 14 days go by and nothing happens? I probably will get a bill from Verizon for full price for my Iphone...because it will be not activated, neither I can return to apple after 14 day?
I also could split my acct. and pull out my UDP line out of main acct and stick it by itself in subacct, so I could at least try to add a line via apple. com, but I simply don't know, if apple.com would let me add another line in my subacct., if I have one Iphone activation pending on main acct.?

No it would not. I have been able to merge the NW 450 minute, payg text UDP lines into any other NW plan and the Any Mobile plan. So make sure you AOL an individual plan line - DO NOT AOL A FS line! The reps will convert it into an individual line and drop the UDP and they will tell you that they did not drop the UDP.

So assuming I can find someone willing to give me an AOL individual line before tonight, I should be able to merge it into my account without issue? Do you think it will be possible to have four lines with T&T discount and one without? I think that feature is the stumbling block with my account.

Tell the person you are AOLing it from to convert it into a NW 450 min, payg texts, UDP individual line. Then during the AOL ask that it be merged into your FS plan. If the rep says that it can't be done, then tell them you are not assuming liability on the line.

Didn't you get credits from the first bill or did you have to call to get it straightened out?

 

[leopardhead2021]

Damn deposit this time

So has anyone who's had to pay a deposit received their deposit back some time after aoling the line or is it too soon??

Thanks once again, Jules. Now I just need to find one in the next couple of hours. Hope it mirrors your experience because I just want to get it done. So the rep can confirm the final price before I commit to assume the line? I am willing to give it a shot before eating some crow and convincing Verizon to put her line back on my account with the T&T discount.

Be at a computer while this is happening and log on and verify that they added the individual line to the FS before you finalize the transaction.

I know Jules reported no gos with Tier 2 tech and AOL last night, but was wondering if anyone with a smartphone tried today ?

 

[hommer1979]

survived two..... no more....
last two.....

Last night I set myself up so I couldn't get anymore lines by converting all my lines to mifi lines. Now I'm like a fiend trying to resist the urge, to turn one of them back to a seed account.......

Don't understand what you mean. Log into my account and then what exactly am I looking for while on the phone with the rep? Will I be able to see the line added to my account and the charges before they finalize it? Any hidden/unexpected charges I should be on the lookout for?

I just switched my two lines over the the $15 loyalty plan. The old off-contract line switched without any issues but the new line I got last week wouldn't switch. The rep said the device wasn't showing up as anything online. She was able to switch the plan after changing the device online, making the change, then switching the device back to my iPhone 6.

I was able to make a call and receive a test text. The phone still shows up online as being a generic phone. The rep said it should reflect the proper device shortly and if it didn't to call back in.

As it's working correctly and both lines show the $15 loyalty plan and UDP I'm going to let things be for now.

As a follow-up the line never did show the correct phone so I swapped the SIMs between the two iPhones. The iPhone 5 then popped up a message that activation was required. After about a minute it popped up another message that activation was successful and then everything showed up correctly online.

And now I'm glad I did that yesterday before Verizon stopped allowing UDP on the $15 loyalty plan.

Picking up my last phone/UDP line soon!!!!!

 

[daboybk]

Help!!!

I have an account with 3 450 NW Lines with UDP.

I want to added 1 of those lines into my Sub Account 2 which has a Any talk, Any mobile 700 min plan. How do we do this? Verizon seems to be dumbfounded and I dont want them screwing up my plan or UDP.

 

[beratblakaj]

Picking up my last phone/UDP line soon!!!!!

Me too!!! Last one going tonight. T'was fun.

On a side note, when I was speaking to the rep over the phone. She said that Unlimited can't be transferred to an existing customer, but she said it doesn't say that it can't be a new customer. Idk if that plays a factor at all.

Call the AOL department and let them know you want to transfer this into your sublevel account #2. Don't speak to regular CSR.

bad timing.... last day for udp transfer... no one is going to comment on this.
udp "may" still be able to be created, then you have time to sort this out

Does anyone have a $45 30 min loyality UDP left they want to AOL to me? Can make small donation

These Vzw reps are trying to charge me $95 instead of the $85 for the plan.

 

[jdougal]

[/COLOR]Didn't you get credits from the first bill or did you have to call to get it straightened out?

This is my second account, but why would I get a credit? It looks about right to me. Every line is about $38-$45 which is $35 activation and a day or two of the plan.

 

[tritron]

Damn deposit this time

YEs you get it as credit. My deposits are 125$ no deposits with other carriers.

 

[ajsimeon]

Picking up my last phone/UDP line soon!!!!!

Got a couple today but leaving one on the account. Gonna try my luck with some tomorrow and see if they get any push back. Then again leave one for them to try on Friday. If that goes through we're still in business with the business I'm working with. We'll see!

I'm sort of regretting my purchase of the Note 4 retail version. I did save some money using the BB method. However, I lost my most important feature; the ability to stream Spotify through BubbleUPNP to my Denon. It requires root and the exposed framework installed. Maybe I'll sell my Note 4 and buy the developer edition.

To keep this Iphone related. My elderly parents love their Iphone 6's (namely Facetime)!

YOu can use chromecast to stream music? http://lifehacker.com/spoticast-streams-your-spotify-music-to-your-chromecast-1572995738

Question about changing text message allotment.

I have the Nationwide Family Share Plan with 700 minutes, 250 texts & UDP. When I select to change my texts I get a red message on the screen saying I must change to a More Everything plan. How are you all changing your text message allotment without loosing UDP?

FYI, I want to increase the number of texts.
