Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Also the LG V10 has a removable battery too but it costs more than the new LG G5. The Samsung galaxy s5 is a good phone with a removable battery too...

Isn't the G5 newer than the V10??? I don't like the front button on the Samsung phones. Does anyone know if the LGG2 sim card is the same in the G5?

Use money from sale and buy s7 at retail allowing me to keep my L1 UDP and avoid the $20 increase for UDP on L1.

Hope I'm not missing anything.

What is this $20 increase? How does that work?

Verizon jacked up the cost of being on a plan that they don't offer anymore and that you really can't do anything about since your not on contract. Was put into effect November of last year.

I think I will just cut my micro sim to a nano size. Looks easy enough. Anyone here try that?

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

No the G5 takes a nano sim so you would need to cut the G2 sim down to a nano sim

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

Yes, the G5 is newer but for some reason the v10 costs more lol...you can go look on Verizon's website

It's coming tomorrow. I'll have to cut it with a razor blade. Looks real easy to do.

The G5 comes with marshmallow and the V10 doesn't.

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

I have the v10 and it does have marshmallow....

Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon

The V10 was also $1 at best buy...

Have you ever tried cutting the sim to a nano size? It looks real easy to do.

Hi, first off want to just thank everyone for all the help/advice they've posted on here. My eyes are crossed trying to read through all the pages. I think I have it figured out but just want to run it by you all to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Family 700 plan:

L1: note 3, UDP, upgrade available
L2: iphone 6s,UDP, no upgrade
L3: basic flip phone, no upgrade

I want to use upgrade on L1 and get s7 from best buy. Then remove Sim on s7 and sell on craigslist. Use money from sale and buy s7 at retail allowing me to keep my L1 UDP and avoid the $20 increase for UDP on L1.

Hope I'm not missing anything.

hmmm, if you use the upgrade, you lose UDP. Are you talking about getting on a two year contract and paying the subsidized price? If you do device payment, then you still have to payoff the device before you can sell it. Once you sell it, you're right back where you started, but now you don't have an upgrade available. I don't understand how you are going to buy it, sell it, then have enough money to buy it at retail?

I was going to buy the s7 with my available upgrade on my UDP line from best buy. Have it shipped to my home, remove the Sim without turning on the phone and then sell the s7. I would use the money from selling the s7 to buy a new phone at retail.

I'm hoping this works.

If you use the upgrage, you lose UDP. Only way to keep is to buy the phone outright and not use any verizon program or financing.

Actually, they don't do the subsidized two year contract. You will be putting on a device payment plan, and of course you will have to pay the full price for it before you can sell it. So, you're really not making any money there. There is no more upgrade subsidy.

They still do subsidy upgrade through best buy.

Your good doing the way you explained, buying and selling without ever putting on your account. You will not lose UDP that way.
