Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
So you basically just keep extending your contract every 2 years to avoid the $40, thus staying that the $-20 discount? The $40 doesn't start until your contract expires correct? I thought I read somewhere that extending your contract for another 2 years doesn't get rid of the $40? That for UDP users, once your contract expires you lose unlimited unless your pay the extra $40 to keep it?
About BB, I go on their website, I'm guessing I put in my number and it'll show my 4 lines (2 basic, 2 UDP) and that 2 are do for upgrades? I order 2 new phones at the discounted price because I'm renewing another 2 years? They will ask you to pick a data plan, if I pick 2gb wont I be stuck with that? How do I go from 2gb back to unlimited? Also, you said to take the sim cards out of my phones and put them in the new phones. Two questions, one, do iPhone have sim cards that'll fit in the newest Android phones, we have a 5s and 5c. Also, wont My Verizon, where you pay your bills, will it show my new phones on my page or still show my 5s and 5c?
Ok, I see you have a lot of questions and a few misconceptions about everything that is going on.
Unlimited Data Price Increase - Starting on November 15th, if you have an unlimited data line that is out of contract, you'll have a price increase of $20 per month per line. Your data promotion is still valid; however, you'll now be paying $29.99 a month per line rather than $9.99 per month. Those of us (like me) without that promotion are looking at data being $49.99 a month.
To avoid this price increase for two years, people are using their upgrades via loopholes to get back on contract. This will allow you to avoid being hit with the extra $20 per month charge (see
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/0...price-hike-more-details-about-who-it-impacts/) or in your case $40 per month.
As for the Best Buy method, everything you are seeing is standard. By selecting a 2GB plan, you are not actually switching to that plan. That only happens if you activate the new SIM that comes with the phone you ordered. Just do the following:
1.) Go to Best Buy's website and upgrade Line 1 to the phone you want. Select the 2GB plan and have it shipped to home.
2.) When the phone arrives, do not turn it on or plug it in
3.) Remove the SIM card that comes with the new phone and destroy it
4.) Take the SIM card from your iPhone and put it in the new phone. Turn on the new phone and give it a couple of minutes to activate
That's all you need to do. You can order a new phone for Line 2 as soon as you finish ordering a phone for Line 1. The big thing is to make sure they are separate orders. Additionally, you never switch to the 2GB plan because you never use the new SIM. Your old SIM is coded to unlimited data and that is what you use to activate. By doing these 4 steps, you'll lock in a new 2 year contract and avoid the extra $40 a month. This will save you $480 a year and $960 over the next 2 years.
As for SIM sizes, all new android phones released this year use the same size as the 5s and 5c except for the LG G4.
