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

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Uh oh. I am doing the same thing. Transferred my UDP to TDP then swithing sims. This was the unsure problem if the pending activation will be locked on or not. I read somewhere that after about a week, the pending activation will be dropped but im not sure.

Please keep me posted because i am curious.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Now I'm stuck with this when i go to the activate or switch device for the TDP that I ordered on when doing the scyzed method. HELP!View attachment 137836

They can't lock you into a phone. You have the freedom to use whatever phone you like. I think this could be a site issue. Don't freak out to soon. Give it some time and try again.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

so there is a way with the BB method John?

The consensus seems to be that it works as it always has except for some different verbiage you are presented with. Follow the steps that have always been in place for the Best Buy method. The transfer upgrade is still in question currently.

I got pulled away before I could complete it (stupid job! ). I'll update when I get a chance to get back to it.

Did you ever end up having a solution to this? I have it now and its been a few days with my new phone. I did a transfer from my UDP line to the TDP.

Hi

has anyone tried swapping the sim cards with ordering from verizonwireless.com, as in sim cards from old phone to new phone both on same line.

last time it worked with verizon but i ordered on one line then activated on a different line, this time i had to use upgarde for the line i want to use it on. also used verizon so i can send in an old 4s for a 200$ trade in credit

I ordered LG G3 from Bestbuy yesterday. The ordering process seems to be a little different than what it was last month.
The method however is still working, I checked myverizon app and the contract has been extend for 2 years.
I'll let everyone know once I get the phone.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Just want to check this will still work. One line (currently unlimited but doesn't use a lot of data per month) has an upgrade available. If I transfer upgrade to my unlimited line, and get that line the 2GB plan, it will not affect my unlimited data, correct? Thanks for the help

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Actually, after thinking about it, I would just upgrade the phone on the current line, rather than transferring to my UDP. Then when new phone arrives pop in current sim for my UDP. This should work without any issues (and change that line from UDP to TDP without affecting my UDP). Just want confirmation. Thanks!

No one has this information but I can tell you that I will be waiting for this phone when it is readily available and then do the BB method. I don't want to take any chances at all when it comes to my UDP. People in the past have had issues when preordering. I recommend you be patient and do the same. : )

I know I just want to pre order the note 4 so I can avoid the network optimization verizon is implementing on the unlimited users

Yeah I'd like to do the same as we really have no idea how bad it will be after we hit 4.7gb. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it won't be to bad so I'm taking my chances and waiting for the phone to be readily avail. Hell, we will all be throttled eventually whether it be in less then a month or two years from now. I've been saying it forever but I hope there will be a competitor by then that is worth a damn signal wise and that will give use unlimited. Not optimistic at all.

Better in two years than tomorrow

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Apologize if this is a repeat, but this thread is huge.

Family share plan 2 lines. 1 UDP line, 1TDP. BOTH Eligible for upgrades. Purchased a iPhone 6+ on the TDP line using its lines upgrade. Plan to give my iPhone 5 to the TDP and take the iPhone 6+ to the UDP line. When the phone shows up can I just take my sim from the iPhone 5 and place it in the iPhone 6+ and take that iP6+ sim and place it in the iPhone 5 and all is well?

or

Should I just activate the iPhone 6+ on the TDP line then after a few do a swap online of the 2 phones to the respective numbers?

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Scarrz I think you will be fine either way… Now what are all of your thoughts on this…

This is what I want to do:

Line 1 UDP
Line 2 TDP
Line 3 Basic phone

Transferred upgrade from Line 3 to Line 2 TDP, currently waiting for phone which is preordered (iPhone 6 plus). Once received activate the new iPhone 6 on Line 2 TDP with the Verizon Sim that they include. After about 36-48 hours swap the old smart phone that was on Line 2 (iPhone 5s) back to Line 2 and activate iPhone 6 plus on Line 1 UDP. Will I be able to keep my UDP?? Since I transferred my upgrade from Line 3 basic line to a line already with a TDP I don't think I am forced to keep a data plan on the basic line, just Line 2 which has the TDP.

Yes that should work to keep your UDP.

Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Has anyone added a new UDP line and successfully swapped their numbers?

I have a UDP line that is month to month. I was able to add a new UDP line through Apple. I picked up the iP6 in the store but I haven't opened it for fear that I won't be able to swap my phone# from my old UDP to the new UDP. Any suggestions? (my old UDP has a iP 4s, so no 4G card to work with for swapping sims)

There have been a few reports of folks successfully doing just that here and on the MacRumors forums. That's exactly what I plan to do, as soon as I can locate a 6
