1.) Since I am buying it at full-price would you buy the T-mobile version or the Sim-free version? I have read differing opinions on this. Remember I would be using it on my Verizon L2 ULD for a couple months until the new phones are out.
2.) Just want to make sure - activating this phone on the ULD L2 won't override my Verizon upgrade linked to that line will it?
3.) Finally, as described on the slick deals blog, could I try ordering the full price phone through the Comcast link which takes you to the verizon iconic portal in order to get a $150 gift card? I understand the warnings of not pushing for the gift card too much.
Grandfathered UDP on Vzn like others.
1 line, 450 mins, UDP
Currently have Galaxy Nexus Toro workhorse but its slowly bricking the last 2 months. So slow..
Best Buy currently has $1 LG3 and $199 LG4 with $100 rebate card. Would love to use BB method, but very cautious/worried about losing UDP, average data use is over 20GB/month.
Advice?
When i want to order from verizon it asks me to pick a data plan for the non smart line im upgrading to a smart phone...wont i be stuck paying on that plan for 2 years even though im not going to activate a new phone on that line?
So if my plan is nationwide talk and text with unlimited data would i not be eligible? I got 4 unlimited lines
1.) Buy the SIM-Free version.
2.) It won't affect your upgrade in any capacity. When the new phone arrives, just power off your 5s and remove its SIM. Take that SIM and put it in the new 6. That's all you need to do to activate the 6 on the unlimited line.
3.) The Comcast gift card only goes towards on-contract or Edge purchases and not full price.
2) So after I insert the SIM from my 5s into the new 6, do I need to do anything online at myverizon? Or will it automatically recognize the new phone? Just trying to understand the steps.
3.) Hopefully I can use the portal when I use the upgrade in September. What are the chances the new iPhones will be eligible for the gift card?
Thanks in advance for an answer, great service you're providing.
I have three lines:
Line 1: UDP Samsung Galaxy S4, upgrade available.
Line 2: TDP Samsung Galaxy S4, upgrade not available.
Line 3: No data, dumb phone, upgrade available.
I would like to upgrade my Galaxy S4 to a S6 Edge while keeping my UDP.
Question. Is there a safe way to go into a store (Costco, BB, etc...preferably Costco as they have cheapest price atm) and do this? I have an UDP line with an upgrade and a basic without one, but the basic has an Early Edge offer on it, so the online BB system did not work. VZW is way more expensive online for the phone I am looking at, plus has the $40 upgrade fee, which I am not sure if other places charge.
Can I go into say Costco, and buy it safely? As long as the phone is never turned on, will it work? Can I just tell them to transfer the upgrade to the basic line, buy a new phone, have them not turn it on, and then take it home and swap ESNs like any other method?

What phone do you have and what phone do you want? It is near impossible to do in-store the way you want to do it. Every once in a while a person will talk about their success in getting an unactivated phone in-store to do to some elaborate story. You are welcome to try, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
As for upgrading, Mr. Toad is correct in that the regular Best Buy method might work. That's why we need to know what phone you currently have and what new phone you want.
I have a razr maxx but I am trying to use my old basic phone line and upgrade from that to an s5 by transferring my upgrade to that line from the UDP razr maxx line. BB online won't work because it won't let me transfer the upgrade (I presume because the basic line has an early edge offer on it, which I am told prevents using BB online). I could order from VZW directly, but I don't want to pay 150 plus 40 upgrade fee for a phone that was $1 on BB last week.
Just do the regular Best Buy Method since the Razr Maxx and S5 both use a micro SIM:
1.) Order the S5 from Best Buy and have it shipped to home
2.) When the S5 arrives, do not turn it on or try to charge it
3.) Remove the SIM that comes with the S5 and destroy it
4.) Power off the Razr Maxx and remove its SIM card
5.) Insert the SIM card from the Razr Maxx into the S5
After that, all you need to do is power on the S5 and enjoy a new phone.
Ive got droid razr maxx, 2 galaxy s4's, and a s5. All my lines have unlimited and upgrades available and want note 4's or s6sWhat phones do you have the unlimited lines and what new phones do you want?
I can't order online from BB. When I try and transfer the upgrade from my UDP line to my basic line (which does not have an upgrade), it will not do it. I checked on VZW and I have an early edge offer on that basic line, which I have read prevents transferring the upgrade on the BB site.
