If I start a new line and buy a smartphone on it, transfer my upgrade from my current account to it (not sure if that's possible since they'd be separate), and then terminate my contract on that line, wouldn't I pay two ETFs?

So I'd be locked into a $40/month plan for 2 years just to get the upgrade?

Your second options is something I am going to consider. Going back to this one though, if the second line is only $9.99/mo, I can deal with that since it still comes to less than the cost of buying the phone outright. If I go with your option 1, can I buy a smart phone on the new line...

I have an unlimited data smartphone account with a single line (Galaxy Nexus). I've been eligible for an upgrade since mid-August. I am well familiar with the loophole that is available to people with multiple lines. I have also seen older posts, where people have had success adding a brand...

So, I flashed the leaked radio and also the 4.0.3 bootloader since some have reported improvement with signal stability with it. Since the flash, I haven't had a single *prolonged* signal dropout. However, I did leave my phone unattended today for about 6 hours and it dropped data, but not...

Update Wasn't quite ready to give up on the phone. Last night I flashed a 4.0.3 ROM (codename android) after running both phones phones bone stock. I left my phone in my truck today since the building I work in has RF shielding in the walls, but the parking lot gets strong 4G signal. This is...

Because they void your warranty if you're caught

It's not just data that drops, it's everything, including voice.

F#@!, F#@!, F#@!, F#@! That didn't take long. Now I get to try and negotiate a return after an exchange. What an epic disappointment. I'm happy for those of you without issues, but for me, this phone has been an absolute joke, and I think the perception of it would be quite different *if*...

for another Nexus. Hopefully, this one doesn't drop all mobile connectivity. It did start off on the wrong foot by dropping all connectivity while activating, but since then it's been fine. I also took a look at the Rezound display model, which was right next to the Nexus. Both were in 4G...

Re: Verizon just "pushed an update" to address my connectivity is Yeah, it was on my coffee table. I'm in prime 4G coverage area per coverage maps and per multiple VZW CSRs who have stated I'm in the heart of Denver's 4G coverage. When 4G is working, I'm any where from 3-4 bars (-83dbm -...

Re: Verizon just "pushed an update" to address my connectivity is Well, that didn't take long, bummer. Had another complete data dropout last night, killing my phone's battery in the process. So whatever they "updated" fixed nothing.

Re: Verizon just "pushed an update" to address my connectivity is Too early to tell.

So, I just called VZW after another connectivity dropout and was routed to tier 2 support. The person I spoke to acknowledged the issue and said she was going to "push an update" to fix it. After having me do a battery and sim card pull, she "pushed the update" and said, "that will take care...
