Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon
Right, but what if the non-UDP line is not a dumbphone, but is already a phone with tiered data? In that case, switching the new phone off that line wouldn't change any of the data plan fees. I guess it depends on what Amazon means by "not alter the line of service type". If I upgrade the non-UDP line to a Galaxy S5, and then immediately switch it back to the iPhone 5S that was on there previously, does that count as altering the service type? After all, it's still a $30/month 2GB data plan.
I feel like this is worth pursuing because the new GS5 is only $100 on Amazon, but it's $200 on Best Buy and Verizon. (Really it's $250 on Verizon, but includes a $50 mail-in rebate that I believe I would still qualify for even if I don't activate the phone on that line -- someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that)
I think they are counting on the extra data plan fee's. If you change to a dumb phone it will drop to basic $10/mo. I think Amazon will charge ETF if you switch it. Some have discussed it deep in this thread somewhere. I think the places that don't charge ETF are Costco, Best Buy and Verizon.
