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

    If you order the Verizon S5 online(BestBuy, VZW, etc), was the VZW SIM card inside the sealed box?

    If you order the Verizon S5 online(BestBuy, VZW, etc), was the VZW SIM card inside the sealed box? My current VZW S5 was purchased at a Best Buy retail store, so I don't remember.

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

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I'd like to know why Best Buy or Verizon has allowed this "loophole" to exist. By now, there is no way that they don't know about it, right?

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon absolutely... $50 is nothing, compared to keeping UDP. :) I use at least 500Gb per month... sometimes up to 800Gb. Can't lose it.

    [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 noticed that the $50 gift card that Best Buy mailed me said: "Thank you for activating your mobile phone with Best Buy Mobile!" Does that mean they have already activated the phone using the Verizon SIM card before it's even...

    isn't that what my spare S5 is for? :) I also have too many phones. Have a spare Galaxy Note 2 and a Galaxy Note 3 in my drawers right now. (plus 5 or 6 other old phones) I think I may be a phone hoarder. :(

    I have a Verizon Galaxy S5. Each month, I pay Verizon an extra $8 for TEC phone insurance. Yes, I do need it. I have drowned or dropped my phones in the past. :) However, I am getting a 2nd Verizon Galaxy S5 for $1 and will be using it as a wifi-only device, only occasionally. Does it...
