Unfortunately, I don't believe you can use iMessage with the secondary number.
A little off topic, but to be fair, since it came up, that essentially fits in fairly well with the definition of greed: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/greedThe fact that you use the word greed shows that you're not likely to ever understand, but let me try. VZ's "job" isn't to give you phone service at a rate that you specifically deem reasonable. I know it sound crazy, but the world doesn't revolve around you in particular. VZ's "job" is to make money, and they do that using data communications services. This is because they're a profit driven organization in a capitalist driven society (the US). Their objective is to make as much money as they can for their shareholders. To do this they use some pretty basic economic principles, and they charge as much as the market will bear. While they cannot tailor individual product price points for individual people (deepest apologies) they try to ensure that their services are priced high enough that they make enough money on a per-transaction basis in order to bolster the organization's financial metrics, whilst not being too high that they don't get enough subscribers.
It's not greed. You're welcome.
This is what I want to do, but Verizon forces you to carry data on both plans. In my case I have unlimited account with number 1, and unlimited data on account 2. I want to cancel just the data side of number 2 and Verizon says I cannot. So for these two lines I am paying for 2 unlimited data plans despite it being one phone.
I disagree. Your condescending post ignores my original point. The price is NOT an issue. Their service price point is fine. The forcing of secondary products (Data in this case) with the main product despite having no need simply to keep their profit/revenue up is exactly my issue. In my case, it forces me to move from the carrier. I am sure this is just the way they battle ESIM because they don't want the lost money. And yes, I still find it greed. Thanks for your deepest apologies though.The fact that you use the word greed shows that you're not likely to ever understand, but let me try.
