    start unlimited and hotspot

    I believe start does not have the hotspot feature. You need to go to play or do more and you get 15gb high speed then lowered to 600kps. I believe people say it maybe disabled in the future.

    Combining Verizon Plans

    It will be hard to keep both grandfathered plans if you move them to one account. It is usually lost during an assumption of liability. You can combine into one account. I would look at the February Unlimited plan. It would cost $140. You can get this from an online chat after you combine...

    Will a Verizon CDMA phone work in Europe on GSM?

    It won't be good for you. I would get a phone with wifi calling if you have internet. Hopefully they add some coverage in your area.

    Will a Verizon CDMA phone work in Europe on GSM?

    It will work. Just verify the bands on the phone to the country you are going to. Forget CDMA and Verizon. It is now an LTE network and will be shutting down most of the older technology at the end of the year.

    Different Phones

    Unfortunately most of the new phones from smaller companies don't work. Slowly though we are getting more. The ZTE Axon 7 has been working. They also had the one plus 3 working over on xda. Granted it was not working well. Hopefully in a couple more years or selection will increase with LTE only...

    Verizon allegedly ends two year service contracts

    On Reddit a VAR implied he could order a subsidized phone. He transferred the upgrade to a TDP line. Maybe try going to a VAR and see if they can order a phone? https://www.reddit.com/r/verizonudp/comments/5msqab

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon I have a line up in October, hopefully this will work for that line. It is annoying that the tablet subsidy is worth much less then the phone subsidy were worth.

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon Yes they are unlocked and will work on carrier that the phone has the band for. The only current issue is if you get an iPhone from best buy it so be locked to whatever carrier it is activated on. The pending update...

    Verizon buy a select smartphone get the second 50℅ off

    You would want to move to a new plan if you wanted to take advantage of that deal anyway. Your plan has a built is subsidy. The pixel would be like $200 with a 2 year contract. Otherwise you would add the payment for 2 years on top of your current bill. So if you got the rebate (bill credit for...

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon Either should work. The phone can never go back on line 1. It is probably safer to just sell it and never have ot on your account. I recently did Snkydvl (transferring unlimited to a basic) and used the line on 2nd...

    Does VZW charge hotspot fee for UDP customer who use hotspot on current iPhones?

    I don't know the exact answer but my guess is it will depend on the policy of the service provider you choose. The iPhone will check with the carrier if you are allowed to tether.

    VZW Mobile Hotspot for Those With Unlimited Data

    If a mod wants me to delete my post as violation, I will. I did not name a program that bypasses the check. As mentioned in your link most phones check for a subscription. I simply named the phones they do no do this check. I did not mention any app or root method to avoid the check.

    VZW Mobile Hotspot for Those With Unlimited Data

    1. FYI the Nexus 5x checks for a mobile hotspot subscription. The Nexus 6p, Moto G4(unlocked), Moto X 2015 pure does not. I am not sure about the unlocked Pixel. 2. You can put her line on the $15 30 minute plan and she can use Google voice for texting and calls. Works good for some not so...
