Here comes another question about keeping the unlimited data...
So I upgraded my Husband's phone last weekend at Best Buy, and of course lost the unlimited data. I just stumbled unto the threads about keeping your unlimited data and want to see if I can possibly do this myself.
We have two lines with unlimited data on both. No dummy lines. Here's what I was thinking we could do.
1) Buy flip phone off ebay
2) Return Husband's new Galaxy S3 phone and get back his unlimited data (since I am still within the 14 day window).
3) Reactivate his old iPhone on his current line
4) Add a new line with the Galaxy S3 and activate it. Get a $30.00 2G data.
5) Activate the flip phone on the new line and turn this into a dummy line (this will automatically drop the 2G data plan)
6) Activate the Galaxy S3 on Husband's line.
My current line has a renewal available July 2nd, which I was planning on using to get the S4. At that point I can transfer my upgrade to the dummy line and do the above process again. If by then Verizon no longer allows to transfer upgrades between lines, I would add another line and keep 2 dummy lines for upgrades.
Do I have that right?
I have read a bunch of threads on this today, but I want to make sure I am "getting" this.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
