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

So I take it the BB method doesn't work anymore? I tried today and they wont ship to any address I put in.

if its the note 4 there not shipping it anywhere but to the store as of right now pretty sure anyway so thats why the bb method wont work just with the note 4 or any phone that is new enough there not shipping it to homes yet

Thanks....so say I don't activate the phone on the tiered line (it's my sisters and she lives 3 hours away) and just discard that sim...i'll have a pending activation on that line that will have to be removed eventually? Still wouldn't mess with UDP tho right?

and just to be clear, using a "buddy upgrade" from my UDP line to the tiered line won't ruin the UDP on the line with upgrade right?

=
as far as i have read seen yes no problems with doing the *buddy upgrade" or 4ever method i have talked to one person that did as your saying got the new phone that was upgraded on the tdp line then removed sim before powering up the put sim from there old upd line phone into new phone powered on and activated it i also have read that most times the pending activation will fall off after a week or two or after your month end

It seems you now have to make a BB account and add a credit card to that account. It was doing the same thing to me until I did this, then it let me ship it wherever I wanted.

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

Received the phone from Best Buy. Shipping was fast, like 2 day. Unfortunately her old phone has a Micro SIM and the new one has a Nano. What's the safest/easiest/cheapest method of obtaining/cutting a Nano SIM?

If she just goes in to the store and asks for a Nano, telling them she got a phone from a friend or eBay or whatever, and they activate it for her line and then she puts it in the new phone will that work? Is it better to get a cutter? Or a blank Nano offline and an adapter to put it in her current phone first to activate the SIM?

Is the phone a note 4 or an iphone 6?

I know this is a damn long thread with over 7000 posts but do people even try anymore? Seems like they just come in and ask questions. Sometimes their answer is on the same page! I don't mind helping people out, we all need it. But it does get old answering the and questions over and over and over.

Is it possible to transfer an upgrade to someone else? (I only have one line on my account.) Thanks very much for any help you can provide!

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

You can not transfer upgrades outside of your plan

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

I know probably a quest that has been asked over and over in here but can this be done via Verizon online with a single udp line that's upgrade eligible? Order note 40 and activate with my current sim from my s4?

As far as I know the answer is no. That would be the BB method.

This was the answer I was still afraid of. I guess the wait continues until bb will get the white one online and let me get it.

Neither, Droid Mini.

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

I went ahead and had her order a SIM cutter tool. Only $8, comes with some adapters and some sand paper. We'll see how it goes. I feel that's safer than having her go into a store or ordering one from Verizon (not even sure how we could online since we don't have a phone that has NFC and needs a Nano).
