Really - you wouldn't call someone a dummy who doesn't understand that if you up the number of minutes and texts on a plan it costs more?

And you wouldn't call someone a dummy who actually knows that Verizon's network is superior to Sprint's but actually thinks you can get a Verizon plan that is the equivalent of the Sprint SERO plan - a plan open only to the families of Sprint employees or Sprint separating employees - for LESS money?

Well I would, lol!!!! These 2 were real dummies in my book.

I mean the SERO guy either used to work for Sprint or was the family member of someone who works for Sprint. The SERO plan is the cheapest plan Sprint offers other than their employee plans. And yet knowing full well Verizon's network was superior he thought you could get a better deal at Verizon.

If you don't call these 2 dummies, then I hate to see how bad the people you do call dummies are, lol!

Actually few years ago, Sprint allowed a lot people to be in their SERO plan. It was in the SD. We did ditch Tmobile and jump to Sprint. It was $30 a month. Then, Sprint added any new smartphone extra $10.. they called it Sero Premium. Then, they charged extra $10 for 4G and Iphone customers.

What is the best Verizon jetpack to use as a mifi hotspot? Or does iPad work best?

It depends on your needs. Do you have need for antenna ports ? Long battery life. There are only two wifi that support xlte/lte 3g. One is realy cheap and other goes for 150$
 
Its Not OVER!

So I just AOL'd another line and the guy says he kept unlimited. It was initiated today at 11am PST. It took awhile because he switched to the loyalty plan during the process and after a few hangups and call backs he got it done.

I'm still alive!
 
Hey guys! Need some help. I AOL'd a line to a lady maybe about 3 weeks ago. She was on the ME plan. I explained to her to make sure to tell them to switch her to the NW plan or put the line on a sub acct. Well, either she didn't listen to me or the Rep didn't listen to her....

Udp showed on the terms and conditions. She went to a verizon store to accept the agreement (go figure) line went to her acct UDP was dropped.

She still wants the line and has been fighting with VZW To get it back. Any tips I can give her?

A Verizon supervisor called me the other day and told me I had to take the line back. I told her I wouldnt, and that they needed to give her the UDP back. She said there is no way the line had UDP since it was a new line.

She still has the line but everyday she lets me know she called verizon to fight with them again.

Any tips!?!

File an inactive pricing request. That is the only way to get it back and idk if they will do it on new lines. Tell the woman to tell them they have to give it back or let her out of the contract w/o and etf.

No offense taken. It does seem like some people took this loophole a little too far. I was only ever interested in getting a UDP. Flipping phones and profiting from a loophole to the extent that some here have done seems unethical. That is just my opinion obviously and they have clearly done nothing illegal. I sincerely hope that this is not a common thing for some on this thread, obsessing over deals and finding loopholes to exploit is a sad commentary on consumer culture. As the song says, get a haircut and get a real job.

I actually was impressed that those on this thread saw an opportunity and jumped on it. I didn't do it myself (a few times on the phone with verizon was plenty for me) but I certainly wouldn't put it in the unethical category at all. If it is then all of SD and Fatwallet would qualify since both sites are built on "obsessing over deals and finding loopholes".

Just tell her to call in and ask to check on the status of the inactive pricing request for line xxxx. Then make the rep file one for her (since it hasn't been done).

exploitative but that's capitalism
 
I remember trying to put MiFi 5510L on my UDP line and it was not working. It asked me to register device with Verizon. I didn't proceed any further. After that I no longer could use the same SIM card in my phone. The SIM vas invalid. Luckily I had another new SIM and I simply had to activate that in order to get my phone service back. Does anybody have any explanation? I bought this MiFi on Ebay...so I don't know the history of this device. I simply returned MiFI and put that idea to rest. I used some older MiFi model 3G on the same line without any hiccups.
 
OMG!!!!!!!!! I Was Suspended for Tripping a Fraud Flag!!!!!!

So my freakin' phone stopped working and I log online to check my accounts and ALL OF THE LINES ARE SUSPENDED!!!!!

It didn't take too long to get them unsuspended, I just needed to send them copies of my DL, SSN and utility bill, but when I got the fraud guy on the phone he asked me how many lines I wanted unsuspended and I said all 8 of them. So he says to me what about all of the other lines? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I said, well those were taken over by ATT and TMobile customers who are now new Verizon customers. He actually said to me "Great"! LOL!!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

This seems very odd to me. The device you put an active sim in should not deactivate your current service. The BB.com upgrade method among others would not work if this were a standard practice by Verizon. My MHS291L will arrive tomorrow or Saturday and I plan on using my extra UDP line exclusively with the Jetpack. I also purchased this off of Ebay. I will see how it goes.

Ouch, so I guess you are no longer flying under their radar. Glad you were able to get it sorted out.
