Will this work to keep my unlimited data?

[dataz722]

My wife and I both are on a family plan, both have UDP, and both are eligible for an upgrade. What I am considering doing is:

1) Add two lines to our plan
2) Buy two phones on the new lines
3) Activate both phones on new lines
4) Transfer upgrades from original 2 lines to the new 2 lines
5) Buy two more phones
6) Activate both newest phones on new lines
7) Activate the now deactivated new phones on old lines while not losing UDP
8) Deactivate 2 new phones off of new lines and downgrade to $10
9) Sell new phones to cover additional monthly fee


Any reason this wouldn't work?
Does a line have to have a phone active on it or can it just sit unused as long as I pay the $10 a month on it?

And if all this would work then which phone would be better for me to buy to sell? The Galaxy S5 or iPhone 5s?

Thank you.

Your steps would work for keeping your unlimited plans...you would need 2 basic phones to keep the lines activate...iPhone 5s has better resell value
