Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price
Ok, I have been reading this thread a lot and decided to give it a try by ordering the M8 from BB. I failed miserably. I got the "There's a problem with your order" email but I hadn't read about it. So I just called the number thinking I would probably end up cancelling the order. Long story short, BB switched me to a 2GB plan but didn't bother switching voice to unlimited. The other part is that my currenty phone would no longer make or recieve calls. I called BB to follow up. They told me that the order was too far along to stop before shipping and would not help me with my plan. They informed me that I would have to contact Verizon to comllpain about that. When I contacted VZ, the lady was quite pleasant to deal with. She removed he upgrade and told me that if I wanted to keep my UDP that I need to buy an off contract phone. I played dumb. So now BB is sending me a phone for which I paid a subsidized price and VZ has removed my upgrade and reverted me back to my old UDP. My questions are as follows: Can I activate this phone as an off contract phone now? If so, can I use the included sim or should I trim my Galaxy Nexus sim to fit? And did I fall bass ackwards into an amazing deal?
