Re: [Instruction]How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
I think when you transfer and upgrade that originated from the unlimited line you have to go through the process of activating on the basic phone, put the basic phone back on, then activate on the unlimited line. But when the upgrade originates from the basic line you can just order the upgrade from the basic line, and then just activate it on your unlimited line.
Now doing upgrading from the unlimited line and activating it on another unlimited line without any basic phone intermediary seems a bit of a stretch. It could work but I'm not sure.
But to support my first premiss that if the upgrade is coming from the basic line you can just activate it on the unlimited line look at the comments from this article:

As the OP here who used the basic line to upgrade to the Note 2 from a basic phone I had to:
(1)Activate the Note 2 on the basic line which deactivated the basic phone then
(2)Deactivate the Note 2 and toss the SIM then
(3)insert another new SIM in the Note 2
(4)activate the Note 2 on my unlimited line which reactivated the basic phone on its original line and activated the new Note 2 on my original unlimited line keeling unlimited data which I still currently have.

i can confirm that when using the second (online) method described in option 2 that there is no need to activate the new phone on your dummy line first. just slap your sim card in that summamabitch and you're done. i have done this at least 5 times with zero issues over the past 2 or 3 years.
