Last year I was able to get a deal for the verizon iPhone 7 for $15/month. The way this deal works is that you're charged the normal $32.xx fee but then verizon issues a billing credit to offset the cost down to $15. The billing credit is issued every month for 2 years, ensuring you stay on verizon for that time period.

I want to buy the iPhone X full price from the Apple store app. Whenever I add my account info, I get a message saying I will have to fully pay off the other device. The issue is, if I fully pay off my iPhone 7, the billing credits will stop. I don't mind continuing to pay monthly for my iPhone 7, I just want to buy the new X and pay it off fully.

I'm part of a family plan so I can just use a family member's number who has a device fully paid off. Does anyone know how this will work? The iPhone X will have to be activated with the family member's number first and then it can be transferred correct?

Thanks in advance
