Guys,
My iPhone 5 is on the fritz. I have restored from backup, setup as a new one, but it keeps freezing up on me and it is out of warranty.
My question is... I have 4 lines with VZW. 2 have unlimited and 2 are basic phones. All 4 lines are due for an upgrade.
However, I do NOT want to give up my unlimited data!
I have read some stories where you can order an upgrade on a basic line (which has an upgrade), activate that device, wait a bit and then activate the dumb phone back on that line. Of course you would have to temporarily add a small data plan and then cancel that out.
I would definitely be upgrading to an iPhone 5s.
Is this loophole still working? Could VZW say this voids the contract and we're switching you to a tiered plan?
TIA!
