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

    Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon? Yup, that's all there was to it. I also activated the S5 to other lines on our account and nothing has changed. Right now it's deactivated and the imei is clean. Might actually sell it today, not sure yet.

    [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 what I've read, you should probably cut the new SIM that came with your upgrade into a million pieces, then burn and bury it. If it is ever activated it will kick you off your UDP.

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

    Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon? Success so far! I activated the S5 on my wife's unlimited line and used her existing SIM card to activate it. It showed the S5 with unlimited data. She did not want the S5, so put her sim back in her existing old phone and it...

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

    Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon? Got the S5 today., but haven't activated it. I have a spare micro-SIM card that hasn't been in use for over a year. Can I put this sim in the phone and activate it on one of my dumb phone lines, or do I have to use my UDP sim to...

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

    Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon? Questions... Say in the future I get a new phone, am I stuck with my current SIM card? Will getting a new SIM from Verizon or deactivating the upgraded phone put me on tiered data? If a Verizon rep notices that I got an upgrade...

    Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon? @GeekGurl I had to show my wife your post to make sure it wasn't her! You're in the exact same situation as we are; my wife works from home and were in a very rural area as well, lol. It sounds like you have the steps down...

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

    Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon? From what I understand you upgrade your UDP line, then activate the upgrade with your current SIM card. Do not use the SIM that ships with the upgraded phone - don't even turn it on until the SIM it ships with is replaced with...

    [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 read through most of this thread and ordered the S5 a few hours ago. I do not want to keep it, I'm happy with my current phone and will likely trade the S5. Has anyone deactivated their best buy phone? Any issues in...

    [MAC METHOD] Root,Unroot & Unlock Your VZ Galaxy Nexus

    Man, I tried over and over through bootcamp win7 and it kept hanging on "waiting for device" in fastboot mode. This was simple, easy and I really appreciate it! I've never ran adb through my mac until now and your instructions made it much less intimidating! Thank you!!!

    Where's Froyo for the Fascinate?

    Right, but these tweets have been ongoing for 2 months... "Froyo will be available in the very near future". They are intentionally very vague and to me, that's misleading costumers who may have chosen a different phone instead of waiting 3 months for Samsung to upgrade the software. Every...
