Sweet! Do you know if you can do the upgrade then switch over to the new UDP afterward? Are these subsidized phones are have they done away with those and you now pay full price?

Correct. The line went off contract, they raised the price by $20/mo to $49.99/mo, then a few months later did an upgrade with that line and got it back on contract, so it's locked in at $49.99/mo and, according to the rep, once it's off contract in about a year and 3 months it will drop down...

Good point, thanks!

I'm not sure on that, but the Verizon rep did tell me that they stopped that $20 increase, and that when those on the grandfathered UDP go off contract it will actually go down by $20, and in some cases, $30. He said that the line fee would be a flat $20 per line at that point. So, one of my...

Glad to hear from someone who made the switch and is liking it so far. If we switch over to the new plan and add our other family members it's going to save us like $100/mo. plus we still have a 1,400 minute limit on talk, so going everything unlimited would be great, not to mention we don't...

Good points. The employee discount doesn't bother me too much, because we'll be saving about $100/mo. The Network Depriortization doesn't bother me much, either, since I live in the Salt Lake City area, but away from the city, so that shouldn't be a problem. The tethering cap of 10gb isn't a...

Thanks for the info. My fear is that we switch to the new UDP and then in a year or two they decide to eliminate UDP and force us onto a TDP and/or start raising these initial prices up, up, up. Because if I'm not mistaken, these new plans aren't on contracts, so technically they can change...

Wondering about this myself, too. What do see Verizon doing? I have 3 lines on the grandfathered in UDP and 1 line with 2GB limit. I'm contemplating switching to the new UDP and adding a bunch of family members on the plan for a total of 8 lines that we can all split the bill, should save us all...

So, I'm seeing other out there saying not to switch to the new UDP if you have the old Grandfathered in UDP, which I have 3 lines of. Putting the price aside, are there any other reasons not to switch over to the new UDP? Like, are there any catches to be aware of?

I've never heard of that, how would that work?

Just an FYI, the Verizon rep clarified that when you reach 22GB your speed isn't throttled. It's your access to connect to the tower that is prioritized. So your speed isn't affected at all, it's your ability to connect and get internet service that could be affected if you are pinging off a...

Good call. You're absolutely right. I just talked to Verizon and got some good info. 1. On hitting the 22GB limit, you are correct. They don't throttle down the speed once you've hit 22GB, it's who actually gets to connect to the network to use the data is prioritized. And they said it's...

My wife and I use around 30-40 GB/mo. My bro only uses about 15-20 GB/mo. But we never use wifi since we have UDP. So, I supposed if we hit the 22GB threshold we could always switch over to wifi, so I'm not too worried about that difference between the old UDP and this new UDP. I'm mostly...

If I have the original UDP that's been grandfathered in since about 2009, is there any reason not to switch over to the new UDP that Verizon just realized yesterday? We have 3 lines with UDP and 1 line with the 2 GB limit. We pay about $275/mo. now total, but once two of the UDP lines come off...
