Verizon unlimited question (cust service are idiots)

If your dumb phones were eligible for upgrade, you could upgrade your 4S via alternate upgrade and keep unlimited. This is exactly what I did.

Transferring it will change your udp to 2gb when the phone is activated on the other account.

No it will not as long as you activated it on the dumb phone first then deactivate it and get new sim you can activate it on ur unlimited plan with out losing the unlimited. It's like if I bought a phone off eBay because mine broke Verizon isn't going to change my plan because I switched my phone. This is not brain science. I will bet money this will work. I am 100% sure

Yeah gets them mre money those greedy ****s

I see you've been a Apple stockholder a long while now, can you imagine any senior member of Apple's managment publicly making such a statement? The arrogance of saying something like that, even if true, in public for attribution at a event with media present, is stunting to me. That's why I said what I did about their fearing an outburst. They seem to be more concerned with what Wall Street and it's analysts think that what any customer thinks.

The fact of the matter is... as some have said in this thread, they are phasing out Unlimited Data. You may be able to hold onto it for another year or two contract period, but after that... I'm sure they'll have 90 new ways to require you to select a capped plan.

All you need to do is upgrade another line on your account (not one with unlimited data), upgrade to the iPhone 5, add a 2GB for $30 data plan if the line doesn't have one already, then activate the new phone on this line.

Then AFTER its activated, you can swap the iPhone 5 to your unlimited line and put the previous phone back on the line that was upgraded. If it is a non-smartphone then the 2GB data plan you added during the upgrade can be removed. A new sim card will be needed to put the newer phone on the unlimited line.

I think people are making the mistake of trying to transfer an upgrade from another line to their unlimited line which shouldn't be done if you want to keep the unlimited data plan.

You can, but you CAN'T use the upgrade from the unlimited data line. You can use the upgrade from dumb line but not the unlimited data line.

This.

I 100% agree that Verizon will end the ULD plans, i just hope that it is more than 2 years down the road. When they do, it will be done quietly and folks on these types of forums will scream. Ut the general public will not. Most people will be on some shared plan by then.
