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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Based on past posts, this is the point where it might be a good idea to back out while you still can!

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price This may be a state-based sort of thing. I didn't go through the whole checkout process through BB, but up to the shopping cart point on BB's website I see these numbers: Product Total: $99.99 Estimated Sales Tax: $47.42...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Thanks, but I ended up buying from Costco. WAAAYYYY cheaper than from BB, since they have it $50 less than BB and they only charge tax off the wholesale price... so tax was only $12, whereas BB charges tax on the retail...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price You got it. It sounds like Verizon has a 14-day no-questions-asked sort of return policy. So if during that time my UDP disappears you can bet I'm heading straight back to the store and re-activating my Galaxy S3!

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Just bought the LG G2 last night, for $49.99 + $12 tax. Costco only charges tax on the wholesale price, whereas through Best Buy or Verizon the sales tax is charged based on the retail price... which would have been...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price They've been out of stock now for a couple weeks, unfortunately. I'm almost beginning to wonder if they will ever re-stock the Verizon G2! Even the vast majority of all Best Buy stores around me have been out of stock...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. I didn't speak with the actual technical person (sounded like they were busy and she was communicating with the tech), so something may have gotten lost in communication. For example, the answer I received may have been...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. The BB store told me that ordering online, and picking up the phone in-store, I can't walk out of the store without first activating the phone (I asked under the guise of the phone being a gift for my sister LOL). Unless...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. Question that perhaps someone may be able to answer: has anybody (with UDP) tried ordering through BB online and picking up from a store? There is ONE BB store within a reasonable distance that has a VZW LG G2 in stock...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. BB has had the $50 gift card deal for a little while, and it was just yesterday that they upped the price from $49.99 to $99.99 unfortunately. The phone would have been $102 including tax, then take off the $50 for BB...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. My GSIII has still been holding up quite well since I bought it in December 2012, though I've been following this discussion for a little while contemplating a replacement. Of course since I'm on unlimited I want to keep...

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

    Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. Wow, this is pretty sweet! Been on unlimited since Droid Charge, and have been on a Galaxy S3 for the last 13 months. It's certainly a great phone, but if this Best Buy deal works (and who knows for how much longer it...
