I definitely agree and like you said if I didn't need the phone for days ago I would have gone that route! LolThe short answer is to stop going into stores. While our methods work, most reps will not do them in person. This is why everything starts with ordering the phone online. I know you need a phone like yesterday, but if you follow the steps I outlined previously, you'll get what you want.
Here is my situation:
Line 1: Note 3 TDP upgrade available
Line 2: iPhone 6 TDP no upgrade available
Line 3: iPhone 5S UDP no upgrade available
Line 4: Note 3 UDP no upgrade available
I want to upgrade line 4 to a Nexus 6
Can I just go into Verizon and upgrade line 1 to the Nexus 6, use it for a day or 2, and then just transfer the phone to line 4? Do I need to worry about SIM cards in this situation? Do I still need to buy a sim cutter for line 4 Note 3 and put that SIM in the Nexus 6 when I transfer phone lines or is this not necessary because I'm not activating a new phone to the line? Also, after the switch is made, can we re-activate line 1 Note 3 with its original SIM or do I need to move the nanoSIM from Nexus 6 into a microSIM adapter and use that SIM in line 1 Note 3.
In the past I've used line 1 upgrade and just put line 4 SIM into that phone when it arrives and activate it like that but I have never had to deal with different sized SIMs. Can I just order online, buy a SIM cutter, and put line 4 SIM into the new device and just activate it? This would seem much simpler and easier. Thanks for the help.
EVERYONE BETTER GET THEIR UDP UPGRADES IN BEFORE AUGUST!

LMFAO hahahahaahahaha I'm a dope I'll delete that lolYou realize that article is from August 2014 and talking about August 24, 2014?
Thank you - and if i'm using the transfer update method to go from an iPhone 4 (3G, no sim card) to a 5s/s5 (4G, w/ sim cards), would this work? Would anything need to be done to the new phones sim card?
I think the bionic has a standard size sim cause it wouldn't fit my s4 when I upgraded to that. All the new phones pretty much have nano iphone 5&6, galaxy s5&6 ect.Been reading through the site and wanting to make sure. I have a Droid Bionic with a new 4G LTE SIM Card (Card updated when I tried to switch carriers). I'm on an Individual plan with UDP. I can use my upgrade to get a new phone at Best Buy mailed to my home. Remove SIM CARD on new phone WITHOUT TURNING IT ON. Place current SIM card in new phone and I should be good to go? Sounds too simple? Also, which current phones have compatible SIM Cards to my Droid Bionic? Can't find that information anywhere. Thanks.

The better question to ask is what new phone do you want? Very few if any phones come with a standard SIM now. Most likely, you will need to cut your SIM to either Micro or nano.
Just search Google "sim card template" then search it on YouTube or buy a sim cutterBeen reading through the site and wanting to make sure.

The transfer to a tiered line works regardless of smarthphone that is on the line. That is why it is the preferred way to do it.
Since I never had a sim card in the iphone 4 - when I switch the new phone w/ sim to back to my UDP line, it's not going to just assume that i'm still on the TDP plan like the one I upgraded through?
If it doesn't, i'm gonna give this whole thing a shot

Was trying to avoid having to cut it. But if I have to, I shall. I'm looking to upgrade to a Galaxy S5 to only cut from Standard to Micro. Is my process correct? Order phone mailed to me via best buy. Remove new SIM card, place old cut SIM in phone then turn it on. Is it that simple?
Just to be clear: my iphone 6 is on its way with methods established. What I need to do once I get it is: DO NOT turn on the new phone (iphone 6) and register it online to my tiered plan. Once registered with tiered plan for one hour, turn off the phone and activate old tiered phone (S5) back to the plan. THEN add new iPhone to UDP. And I'm good correct? No card swapping? Is this the safestway? Thanks in advance!!
