A friend is thinking of porting over to Xfinity mobile. Can I ask you roughly how much your monthly bill is? Friend uses little monthly data and is convinced he would only pay ~$12. That can't be correct could it?

Yep, for now with my Android 5.0 device and the new UDP plan the hotspot data usage is tracked only on the phone (SETTINGS> DATA USAGE> Android Tethering). I'm a FoxFi user and never checked to see if this Android Tethering was showing while I was using the old grandfathered UDP

On my Android 5.0 device there is an app (in SETTINGS> DATA USAGE) called Android Tethering. I happen to use FoxFi but on my device this seems to be where hotspot data is tracked. I would prefer that the VZW website tracked the hotspot data separately but for now this is what is available...

This app will stop working to provide wifi hotspot on devices running Android 7.0 (Nougat) and higher. The app relies on being able to place a trusted certificate on the users device. Nougat prevents this from happening. It does appear that the app can still be used to provide USB tethering in...

No you don't need FF. The app was useful for people with older unlimited data plans that did not include tethering. BTW that app will no longer work once a device is on Android 7.0 or later.

You will have to ask to be moved from your current plan to the new UDP. As of now the grandfathered UDP will continue as is.

I have an old UDP plan but have not received a call or letter from VZW

I've installed this update on Jan 21st. The update does not interfere with FoxFi personal hotspot app

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon DAAAAAAANG !! My UDP acct has no upgrade until July and my contract end date is the same date. Hopefully I am wrong- 1) does this mean I cannot buy a subsidized phone EARLY at BB (to later sell on Swappa) ? 2) if...

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon Thanks for the reply tx_tuff If I sell the new device to someone else (therefore never having the new device used on my UDP) will I still lose my UDP?

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon I used the BBM almost 2 yrs ago and was very happy to keep my UDP for another 2yrs. My contract is up in a couple of months. Can I purchase a new device at BB early to remain under contract and keep my UDP (with the...

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon If you are wanting to keep your UDP and you are buying the new device at a subsidized price definitely have it shipped to your home.
