NATIONWIDE ACCOUNT LEVEL TALK & TEXT FAMILY SHARE 700 $80.00 0811 - Verizon Wireless
Well keep checking then. But it is clear to me that they have just done to the NW FS plans what they have done to the Any Mobile and Loyalty plans. I have NEVER been able to add a line at a 3rd party retailer.
Verizon doesn't want people on grandfathered plans and this is yet another way to try to force them off.
Costco and Amazon only allow me to add a ME line or the 1GB T&T line to my NW 450 UDP line. I never could add additional lines to my Any Mobile FS plan anywhere except Verizon.
pending activations, add a UDP really dead?
I have a 5 line FS plan....3 UDP, 2TDP I successfully transferred the upgrade of two of the UDP lines to two of the TDP lines, activated new iPhone 6's on them successfully, kept them active for 24 hours before switching those phones to the UDP lines. The two TDP lines have shown greyed out "this line is waiting for your new device to be activated" for two weeks. I have called Verizon numerous times, asked for a tier 2 tech to remove these pending activations, and they STILL are there. I could not move a line to a sub account (to order a new UDP line via apple.com) because verizon would not let met do anything while the main account holder line had a pending activation.
1. Any suggestions to get these pending activations off.
2. I wanted to have one more UDP line either by AOL or add a line and from everything I have read, this window has closed. Is this correct?

Why did the tier 2 techs say they couldn't remove them? What if they just reactivate the phones on the TDP lines?
yup, that is the problem with PAs.
If worse comes to worse, they can change the phone number on the line and change it back. That will do the trick but these will fall off eventually.
Some people are still getting AOL's through. YMMV.
Adding a new UDP line is over despite some people clinging to hope that this is a maintenance issue. All evidence points to it being over.

Jules stop raining on everyone's parade, this is a maintenance issue. This can't end until I have a Nexus 6.
The PAs will fall off on their own after at the end of the first full billing cycle after you activated the phones.
Ikr, I am still in mourning here but we are all going to have to face this harsh reality - no more udp/iphone manna falling from the sky and like Roll Tide told us we are all going to have to get real jobs *sniff*
This. Have never been able to add a line with grandfathered loyalty plan either. Verizon has just taken the steps needed to prevent all grandfathered fs plans from adding new lines through third party retailers. Not a big surprise considering the huge spike in unusual activity over the past several weeks from a few dozen accounts. It sent a big red flag to big red and they are finally closing the loophole.
I dont think anyone is gone to give out line for free since you cant replace it.
I see line going for $2000 now
Doesn't always work. Did that myself and it didn't remove my PA.

Wow $2000?! Time to sell my extra line haha
Hey if there is anyone out there that wants to try an unlimited line, I'd be willing to give it a whirl with you. I know that the longer that I wait on it, the longer it is to get rid of it.
I figure it is an experiment with Verizon's AOL department to see what happens. Let me know if you want it. Shoot me a private message.

Well we just picked up another iPhone 6 in Mishawaka... UDP included. Can we count this as the last one? :-D
It was 450 min single line and 250 txt. It was purchased Thursday evening and not picked up / activated til this evening. (Sunday Nov 16th 6pm)
So someone help me draw conclusions???
