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

Re: Bestbuy Mobile Lets me Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon?

Have a few questions.

- I'm having a hard time selling that Moto X. I want to return it to Best Buy and get the LG G2 since I'm in still in the 14 day period. Since the Moto X is no longer in use, there is now a basic phone on that new line, can they just do a swap? Or is it much harder than that?

- Say down the road I wanted to cancel those 2 new lines I just added what would the ETF be, $350 or $175 now that there a basic phones being used on those lines? Or does the ETF fee stick with the initial phone I purchased?

Call best buy and ask them but as I told you before, I do not think best buy will do an exchange, just a return, which will cancel the new line.

It would be processed as a return. Why would you buy the Moto X for resell? It wouldn't be my first choice.

Cause I'm broke. I had the $50 Best Buy gift cards for new lines. I got 2 new lines and I then I was going to sell the phones. I was going to get two iPhones and sell them. But your only allowed to purchase 3 Apple devices in a 181 day period. Since I just upgraded our previous two lines to iPhones in December I was only allowed to purchase 1 more iPhone, the forth iPhone wouldn't go through. The only phones that were free with $50 gc was the Moto X and G2. I didn't see the G2 until a day or two ago. I already sold the iPhone 5c for $450 but the Moto X isn't selling so I wanted to know how a return would go. But as you guys said it would be processed as a return thus canceling the line and I would have to start over, I'm stuck with it.

But I'll call BB anyways maybe I'll get lucky and they'll help me in someway or I'll have to wait until the Moto X sale is done. It still is a great phone.

I wonder if it would have worked if you used your dad's name on the purchase or a different credit card? Or was the limit based on your name being on the Verizon account?

Sell your iPhone 5s and use the Moto X as your phone! You will make enough profit off of the iPhone 5s to buy the Moto X2 when it comes out.

It's the name that's on the account. The 5s is my baby.

Put it up for adoption :) Use the moto X until September when the iPhone 6 comes out, sell the Moto X and with the money you make off of the sale of the iPhone 5s and the Moto X you will be able to pay full retail for an iPhone 6 in September.

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price.

Anyone tried this recently whos on a family plan? I've got a family plan with 4 lines total all with unlimited data (plus the -$20 talk and text plus data per line discount that another poster mentioned). I was starting to go thru this process just to test it out without an intention of completing the order. I picked "upgrade device" on the first prompt, and then chose to "keep existing plan", but now its making me add a $40/mo family share line access charge. It will not let me continue without adding this despite some verbage regarding along the lines of

"You have chosen to keep your existing Verizon Wireless plan.

If your new device requires a data plan, you'll need to select one here ? even if you already have one on your existing plan. This ensures that you end up with a compatible data plan."

Did anyone else on a family plan get this prompt, select the familyshare line access $40/mo option, and was still able to actually retain their existing plan? This is looking like a no go for me. :-(

Thanks in advance!

Wow looks like its something specific to the Droid Maxx. If I pick another phone like the GS4 it doesn't force me to pick the $40/mo family share line access fee. I noticed otwok posted this same thing in another thread back in december, how strange is this!?!

GS4 no network access fee required:

He went with the LG G2 from what I'm reading in the other thread Best buy mobile keep your unlimited data thread. Droid Maxx must be triggering something in the verizon system flagging a need for a specific plan type, I really don't get it at all.

Very interesting! My advice if you really want the Droid Maxx then is buy an iPhone 5s with your upgrade and sell it. Then use the proceeds to pay retail for the Droid Maxx.

Honestly, though, if you are going to do that I would use the proceeds to buy a Developer Edition Moto X, not a Droid Maxx. Then you can unlock the Moto X bootloader and root easily and get FREE WIFI TETHER on your Moto X with UNLIMITED DATA!!!!!! I did.
 
Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price.

I've had my phone since the first of the month and the UDP is still attached....if they haven't changed by now I guess it won't change.

well, it shows contract end date of 2/8/16 already with unlimited still...

but I'll wait til the Note 3 comes in and I get it working to post the pic and celebrate

I admit I did a little dance when everything 'worked'.
 
Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price.

I remember that. What did he eventually do about it?

Hi. Yes I originally wanted the Droid Maxx but it was giving me the share everything option which would change my plan so I opted for the G2. I don't regret my decision. I don't think I wanted to go through the trouble of buying a phone to sell it and then but the Maxx. If I didn't like the G2 then maybe I would have do that but I loved the G2 from the beginning. It must be something about the Droid Maxx that is locked into the option.

yeah, it is a bit of a hassle to sell a phone but not much really on swappa. You have to take pictures and pack it well when you ship it. After the paypaly fees, swappa fee and shipping with signature required and insurance on the full value of the phone, you net about $50 less than what you sell it for. Then you deduct what you paid for it from that to get your total profit. For me, it is worth the hassle, but I know others might not be willing to do it.

So glad the G2 worked out for you!
