Ok, just went through this on the 24th... went to Best Buy store with mobile store inside. Told the guy exactly what I wanted to do - my line is the primary that has an upgrade that I can not use without losing unlimited. I had a line on family plan that had an upgrade available.
He told me that about 6 months ago, Verizon stopped allowing you to upgrade a different line, activate new phone on said line, and then transferring the new phone to primary line. (Work around) He then said he would try it... He assured me that worst case scenario, I would lose unlimited but to be kicked to a 6gb plan for $30. They have created this plan to help people coming from unlimited to ease them into a tiered plan. It is not available to new customers or people with already tiered plans.
To me, it was worth the risk. I'm usually between 2-4 gbs/month anyway. I've had some big months, maybe up to 8 or so, but I had already set my mind to the new phone. To my surprise, it worked and I still have unlimited (as far as I know). Awesome device!
Coming from DROID og, thunderbolt, galaxy s3. Just got a seidio surface case, loving it... very slim. Hope this helps
