Buying new phone on udp

[NJD_fan]

Hi everyone, I have a grandfathered UDP with 450 minutes & unlimited texting. Bought my last few phones outright but want to upgrade to the Pixel 2 XL

Been looking at a few sites that sell it for around $300 - $400 but also Best Buy as they have the cheapest monthly device payments

If I do device payments, will I also have to change my plan?

Love the unlimited, but wouldn't mind a minutes upgrade. I also have 18% off my bill through work which the new plan wouldn't be available, but last I went I was told on their new udp I would be paying around the same amount

I have wifi at home and work which I use so I can't see myself going even close. Most I've used from commuting was 15gb or so but could curb that by downloading on wifi for when it's not available

Project Fi is something to consider, as is saving $40 a month

Yes

But you can also buy it directly from Google and sign up for their payment plan, but the sales don't always coincide.

What I thought, but there are more options now and I would attempt to cut my bill by having a data limit

Funny thing is Google has the Pixel at $849 or $35.38 a month, Verizon $849.99 or @22.91 a month, Best buy $849.99 or $18.74 a month. All are 24mo plans

Best Buy has an instant credit but even with having to change my plan it sounds like a good deal

No. I just got a V30 on DPP with $300 off, direct from Verizon. I have exactly the same plan you do and kept it.

 

[NJD_fan]

Anything you did in particular to keep it?

I will mention that at Best Buy and see what happens

 

[Almeuit]

You can keep the plan and do payment plans. They allow it now.

Does it raise the monthly to $50?

 

[NJD_fan]

My monthly bill is currently $85 with unlimited data, text & 450 minutes

Would love to keep, unless there was a better option that would lower it. Project Fi is interesting for only being billed for what I use, but still has a ways to go

The other option is Comcast/XFinity Mobile with free unlimited voice + unlimited sms and the first 100MB of data is free. Otherwise you can pay $12 per GB or $45 unlimited data before taxes and fees and still be using Verizon Wireless service.

Yeah but what plan is that?
