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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon This is a long time. I just ordered tonight and did free shipping. Your contract should be extended within 48 hrs so it doesn't really matter when phone arrives unless you plan on reselling and the price drops precipitously for some reason.

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon I just transferred my UDP upgrade to a TDP line, ordered a V10 from Verizon, activated on TDP, switched TDP back to old phone, put UDP SIM in V10 and voila. My Verizon shows the V10 on my line, shows I still have unlimited data, and...

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon You are correct, the transfer does nothing. You need to order a phone on the TDP of course and then approximately 48 hrs later the UDP contract will extend.

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon Do I have to use a VAR or can I switch it using My Verizon? Or can/should I simply cut down my SIM in my Note 3 to fit the V10?

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon UDP: Note 3 TDP: LG G4 'new' phone that I ultimately want on UDP:LG V10. Transfered UDP upgrade to TDP and ordered V10 (arrives today). My UDP contract says 2 years and UDP is still intact: primary mission accomplished. Now I'd like to...

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon OK I'm still confused. If I'm transferring my UDP upgrade to a TDP line, activating for an hour on TDP, going back to old phone on TDP... do I need to put the UDP SIM in new phone OR just activate online per your previously posted...

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon I'd like to do exactly this but don't really want a new phone (can't find something worthy to upgrade from my Note 3). All I'm looking to do is keep UDP and avoid $20/month price hike. Could I get a free phone and then simply switch back...

    Galaxy s4 battery life

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I wondered if you could help me with my wife's S4 battery life issues. Attached are some screenshots but needless to say, it's terrible. Down to 17% after 8.5 hrs, 2 hrs of screen time, Google Now and Maps Location Services DE-activated, and most of the fancy Samsung...

    Sounds like whistling or a wind tunnel when I make calls

    I get the same noise. Like a whistling that increases (and sometimes decreases) in pitch while on a call. I have to say it's quite noticeable but thought I was only hearing it while talking to my wife (who also has a droid). I can do a hard reset at home but would prefer not doing that if I...
