The app store has lots of free apps. And the ones for money aren't exactly expensive. Support the developers.
Don't support piracy
I am not heavy into games or apps with phones but I always like to test things out so I usually get the free route and then if I like it I buy it. I've been doing it with Android for years!!
But I do jailbreak atleast I need those 3rd party apps & etc.
Is MyWi and tetherMe the best options for wifi tether?
It should not since it is essentially just changing the number and canceling your old account with your old carrier.
I'll try. I still have 2 on my account, one is mine, the other im thinking of using as a hotspot. You still have any?
What does any change of account on the plan mean? Can you move it from a subaccount into a main account?

Anyone get any AOLs in today?
My friend was just able to AOL one out with UDP intact a few minutes ago. He's got one more line to go

I wish somebody would transfer to me!

Did you mention keeping the unlimited data line to the rep or not say anything about it?
I'm just passing on second hand info
As far as I know my friends customer just said he wanted to keep the plan as is.

I checked with my friend and he's got a couple people already lined up to take his lines.
Noticeably smaller crowds today (Sunday) at Portland's flagship Apple store and they didn't have the "express" line set up for iphone pick ups. I picked up a gold ipad mini 4G 128gb to add to one of new new UDP lines
ipad mini 3 - overpriced? probably but I had a $500 gift card (intended for an iphone 6 plus add a line purchase) and some windfall UDP profits I needed to burn lol
Nice. A fellow udp creator at my local store. No wonder supply was hard to come by in the early days of this. . .
Verizon is already looking at rolling out LTE-A next year, IIRC. LTE-A can handle incredible data loads. Most people are well trained now to parse out their data usage and offload to wifi whenever possible. I bet even if Verizon does bring back UDP in the future, they'll see a lot less data use than they would have if people had unlimited data all this time. And even if Verizon does see a huge spike in data usage, LTE-A can handle it.
Now, does that mean there will be true UDP for new customers? I'm sure there will be lots of strings attached, Verizon isn't a charity and won't do this unless there's a big incentive for them. And no way will it remain $30.

Thanks, I meant if they notice a tablet on a phone line.
Verizon has said that people can put their SIM cards in any compatible device and use it as that device allows them to. However, if making changes to the account while going through reps, I'd recommend having those SIM cards in phones and not tablets or MHS.
That is a rep dependent thing but some of them freak out if you have a data only device on a phone line. Verizon cannot stop you from doing this but the reps are not lawyers and are capable of taking away your UDP. So don't call with a tablet on a phone line and of course stay away from corporate stores except to just go in and look at devices, but don't let them look at your account.Thanks, I meant if they notice a tablet on a phone line.

What MHS device do you use?

Well if it were just up to Verizon, they would not allow you to do that. The issue is that because of the terms of the Block C licenses, Verizon cannot stop you from putting your SIM card in any compatible device.
Again, the reps aren't lawyers and it is a YMMV kind of thing with the reps. Don't let them see a data only device on a line with voice minutes. End of problem.
That's pretty incredible speed. I am close to a major metropolitan, can't get even close to half of that speed.
Htc one m8 haha I have an extra udp line in my FS so it's just $29.99 + $9.99 access. Might as well
Agreed, this is why I recommended putting you SIM in a phone before talking to a rep.
