What are my upgrade options on Verizon?

[wdeeble]

I have 1 Smart phone (mine) and 2 basic phones eligible for upgrade, I am looking at buying the S7 for 2yr contract price for the my line but I don't want to lose the 25/mo line access discount I am getting.

I was thinking about upgrading one of the basic phones lines and then transferring the phone to my line. Does anyone know what would happen to the line cost on the basic phone. It's currently 20/mo (30 - 10/discount), I have talked to different people at verzion and getting various answers everything between 20 to 40, its frustrating not being able to get a straight answer.

Using the basic line for a 2 year contract will probably lock that line into a minimum data charge per month for two years.

I forgot to note I am on the more everything plan

That's only for the nationwide plan,or perhaps plans where each line gets its own data allotment

I know someone who did this. The basic line charge wasn't increased whether on contract or off. But this was some time ago.

Also the $10 discount I believe is for basic phone off contract... If you get a smartphone then I would guess that you would lose that discount, and won't be able to add it back even when you swap a basic phone back.

Yep that's what I expected would happen but when I called VZ to confirm and got different answers I was thinking what the heck. So started searching for some confirmation or personal experience thus ending up here
