Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
Easy enough. You have two options:
Use a SIM Adapter
1.) Buy a SIM Adapter from Amazon (you'll need nano-to-Micro)
2.) Through Best Buy online, order the S5 using the upgrade on a line that contains an iPhone 5. Have the phone shipped to home.
3.) When the phone arrives, do not plug it in or try to charge it
4.) Power off the iPhone 5 and remove its SIM
5.) Take the iPhone 5 SIM and put it in the adapter. Put this combination in the S5. Destroy the SIM that comes with the S5.
6.) Power on the S5 and give it a few minutes to activate.
Just repeat the 6 steps two more times and you'll be all set. Make sure that each phone is ordered separately; however, you do not need to wait until one phone is done before starting to work on another.
If you did not want use a SIM adapter, the other way involves using opposite line upgrades:
1.) From Best Buy or Verizon online, order the S5 using an upgrade from a line that has an iPhone 5. Have the phone shipped to home.
2.) When the phone arrives, do not turn it on or try to charge it
3.) Log into Verizon online and select "Activate or Switch Device"
4.) Choose a different iPhone 5 line
5.) Choose "activate a phone that has never been on the account before"
6.) Enter the IMEI and SIM numbers that came with the S5
7.) Follow the rest of the directions to activate the S5
You can repeat this method two more times and avoid using an adapter. The key thing here is to make sure that you activate the phone on a different line than where it was upgraded. You must keep the S5's straight!
Either method works fine. It's a matter of whatever you are most comfortable in doing.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
If that's what you are worried about most, then do option 1 with an adapter. If something is wrong with the S5, you just move the active SIM back into the iPhone 5, return the S5 to Best Buy, and get them to give you your upgrade back.
If you screw up and accidentally activate the tiered plan, you'll need to: (1) return the phone, (2) get your upgrade restored, and (3) file an inactive pricing request with Verizon. This will take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month.
If you are not comfortable with any of this, then stick to buying used or full price phones. Even then, Verizon can strip you of your unlimited plan at any time.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
If you are using your old SIM, but nature it is programmed to unlimited. You will not be put on a tiered plan unless you activate the SIM that comes with the phone. With that said, you would do the following in a worst case scenario:
1.) Reactivate the old iPhone 5
2.) Return the phone to Best Buy within the allotted time period
3.) When you return the phone to Best Buy, you will ask them to give you your upgrade back
4.) Then you will call Verizon customer service and have them fill out an Inactive Pricing Request.
After that, you wait....and wait...and wait until Verizon finally approves it and gives you back your unlimited. It might take multiple phone calls to check on the request, it might take escalating things to a supervisor or manager, but you eventually will get your unlimited back.

what is an inactive pricing request

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
Inactive Pricing Request is exactly what it sounds like. You are asking (requesting) Verizon to be put on a plan (unlimited data) that they currently no longer offer via retail (i.e. inactive).

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
No as you can't move the upgrade to a different account.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
So I just upgraded to an LG G3. I currently have a first gen moto x. Can I reactivate my old droid dna, which has a micro sim and put it in the G3, when it arrives, in order to keep my UDP?

How are you getting the phone? Are you doing the Best Buy method? If you already ordered the phone I would advise against it. That may activate the plan change. I would just get a SIM adapter and use you current SIM card.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
Yes, the best buy method. I've already ordered the phone. It will be here tomorrow. So reactivating my old droid DNA won't work? Is my only option to get a sim adapter?

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
Correct. You needed to do that before ordering the new phone. Any SIM besides your current active one will be reprogrammed to the tiered data plan.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
Just as a data point, I have two lines on my acct- one is UDP, one is a non-smartphone, basic line. Both were eligible for upgrades.
I bought a Galaxy S6 at Best Buy, selected to upgrade my basic line to the GS6, went through the various screens, chose the 500MB data plan (cheapest one), got to checkout. Got the phone, pulled the SIM card out of the GS6 immediately. I pulled the SIM out of my Moto X, stuck that into the GS6, turned it on. My phone still works, on the correct line.
I checked my Verizon account- this extended the contract on the basic line for 2 yrs but did not change anything else. Line charges are exactly the same still. UDP is still there.

1. Cut your your sim down.
2. Go to a Verizon Autherized retailer and pay them to activate the phone on the unlimited line.
3. Call Verizon or go to a corporate store and get a nano sim for your phone.

There are several things you can do. You need a Nano SIM. I believe the Note had a micro sim. You still need to destroy the SIM so it did not activate the 2 year data plan on your basic line.
