Does this sound fishy or does anyone know any truth to this?
Thought I would check eBay for some unlimited data plans and I found some.
I eBay searched "Verizon unlimited data"
A couple sellers are selling current contracts and claiming that they will somehow put them in your name. Is this possible? Maybe they work in tech support?
One other seller is claiming that their company is the only one in the US that can add a "VIP data plan" to new or existing customers.
Any knowledge or feedback is appreciated. Check out the auctions and see what u think. FYI I am a new VZ customer still in the cancellation period.

It is possible to transfer a name to another person's account. Its called an AOL (Assumption of Liability). However, ever if the person's account you are transferring to is in good standing, I'm pretty sure you'll still need to pass a credit check to be eligible to take it over.
AOLs are pretty popular due to some people wanting to get out of their wireless contract without paying the ETF by giving it to someone else. And others will be happy to take them over due to having grandfathered features no longer offered to brand new accounts such as unlimited data with Verizon Wireless.
Thanks Nerdydesi. Ant thoughts on the second option?

How to get Verizon Unlimited Data without going through loop holes
There's a better route!
Email this guy verizon.unlimited.data @ gmail.com
ask him about a VIP Pass which will get you unlimited data
He's hooked up several people on XDA with Unlimited Data and he's legit!
Thinking about getting one
BigMiggen did you buy it yet? I also contacted this guy on Ebay about the unlimited data plan, no answer as of yet.
No not yet. I got the double data at 4 gigs and want to see how much I'm actually gonna use first. Watching Netflix looks like the only way to go over for me. I might email that guy and see how much he wants.

Anyone try this? I'm grandfathered on two lines but might come in handy to add a 3rd. Now if he could hook me up on an unlimited data only plan for a xyboard 8.2 I would have his babies lol.

Just sent an e-mail his way, keeping my fingers crossed. 4G LTE does not deserve to be limited!!! Coming from ATT unlimited, I'm starting to miss it. As much trouble as they gave me.
By the way, went into a Verizon Wireless store today and attempted to get the rumored unlimited tether plan (even though I'm not grandfathered) from a rep who said it would work - they attempted to add said plan and continued to receive an error. After calling into Verizon Customer Care, the rep on the line confirmed it's been disabled. So even if you are able to fool some rep, if they attempt to put it in, their system will throw an error.
I emailed him 10 days ago. No reply.

Okay I found out how to get the unlimeted everything for $99 a month. I will make a new post on how to do this once I get my first bill. It works for new and existing customers. Existing customers can early upgrade without penalty as well.
The company has a business plan they put you on and bill you directly. I will update and put a link to the new post once I get my first bill from them to make sure it's legit. Although I am typing this on my new s3 they sent me for $150.

Hate to say it but grandfathered unlimited plans are going bye bye.
That is if you update your line. You can keep it as long as you don't update you cell line.
But when you upgrade to you next phone you'll lose your unlimited plan and you can either get 2GB for $25 or since we have unlimited data now we can get 4GB for $30....
Damn you AT&T.
Update: You get to keep it. Some AT&T rep didn't know what she was talking about.

pretty sure that's not true, our you would have heard a mass of **** from the online world, especially the new iPhoners. you just got a CSR who didn't know what they were talking about
Called AT&T... was told my grandfathered plan would remain unlimited when/if I choose to upgrade my phone.
If this had become their policy, I think we would have seen this posted & screamed about already... thinking that the person you talked to didn't understand what you were saying, or was just a moron.

Good point. I was so pissed. I'm going to call back tomorrow and talk to a different person. They better be right.
I have a US Naval Federal Account so they can't remove or modify anything without talking to my IT guy.
I'm a sales rep at At&t this is not true...and mostly incorrect word of mouth. Nothing down the pipeline of csr info and simulations of anything close to explaining away a unlimited data not being available to existing customers a BB and iPhone and a messaging phone I did yesterday alone all had the unlimited data two up another equip change so. No when your told something remotely like this situation explained, that is when you hang up and call again. Though any New Lines on existing plans or straight new can not get unlimited data minus other referred methods available via search.

NOW. This thread needs to be deleted.
Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.
I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

as long as he doesn't mind extending/renewing his contract... you might want to remind them what your plan is so that they don't add data to his plan.
O I want to do it online, or I can't?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
I don't think you can do it online, But you can most definitely do it in-store.
My Fiance actually used my upgrade about a year ago.
I personally would rather do it in store anyways, just so I don't have to wait for the phone to ship lol.
Idk about you guys but I get very antsy when I'm waiting for a package to ship. I'm actually waiting for a phone to get to me right now and I've been checking the tracking any chance I get
I have tried to switch phones using myverizon.com and it doesn't have an option for unlimited data. to make sure I don't lose it I have always called them.
Once when I was trying to add a phone line using a phone we got on craiglist, the store got confused and added a two year contract....
don't leave the store with out double or triple checking to make sure they understand. hopefully you will get someone smarter than the person we spoke with.
That's what I'm worried about when my upgrade comes around in August. I do not want to loose my unlimited data..

Well after probably 3 years of getting a 23% discount from my previous employer sprint is now asking for employment verification. So the one thing that was keeping on sprint will now be lost on Sept 26th. Looks like it's time to make the switch to Verizon. Anyone else get the message asking for verification or is it just something they do after x amount of time?

Yeah, for the first 10yrs i had sprint, I was on a retail employee plan ($15 a month) even though i hadn't always worked in retail. they called me twice in that 10yrs asking about if i was still working for xxxx and that there were "better" plan options now etc. With t-mobile going back to truly unlimited data, i may be switching....
I got it too yesterday and have had the discount 2 years (didn't know about it earlier as I had a military discount until then).
On another forum, a Sprint CSR is advising you only need to re-verify when you *upgrade your phone.*
Sprint inadvertently sent out the text to everyone. I just got another text today:
"We unintentionally sent you an SMS message yesterday regarding your Sprint discount. Please disregard. No action is needed."
Got another text today indicating yesterday's text was an error and no further action was needed.

So like... you're complaining and want to switch carriers because for three years you've been getting a discount for a company you haven't even still been employed with, and Sprint wants verification rather than just letting you continue to get a discount that hasn't applied in years for you?
Go to Verizon. You deserve to pay more.

That's the thing if I wasn't getting this discount by the time I applied my current employers discount for Verizon I'd be paying less just not unlimited data, which is fine for me because I'm on wifi 70% of the time anyway.

Regardless, you are essentially stealing from Sprint... and whether they know that or not, their profits are hurt by it. I can guarantee that you're not the only one, so while your impact alone may not be much, every thief adds up. Losses like that are always passed on to the customer, so you are slowly but surely hurting the rest of us. Thanks, buddy

So I've heard around the grapevine that a good way and only way that you could save your unlimited data is by adding an account...now I don't know if this is true which is why I'm bringing this up. Maybe someone can clarify this if its true or not....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
This can work but do you really need unlimited data? Please make sure you verifiy just how much data you use and if you have more than two smartphones start by finding out how much everyone uses on average..A lot of people are putting themselves into 2 year contracts and adding lines and all this extra stuff for absolutely no reason! Now if you need unlimited data you can buy your own device. Adding a line Verizon will more than likely move you to share everything plan
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't give enough info. It would just be nice to hang on to it knowing that I don't have to worry about checking my data all the time n such. Now I really haven't checked how much I use or my wife uses. She probably doesn't go over a gig in a month. I, maybe 3 if that. I use WiFi quite often and I know that helps not use up data...we have just 2 phones and upgrades are in February. I didn't know if maybe if I add a line, then cancel my line, would that work?....I was just curious about this.

No they never updated it. The only way that I had heard about keeping unlimited was buying phones full retail price. But then heard about if adding a line you could get around it and not having to buy a full priced phone. So if you have two lines open. Add a third one when your due for an upgrade. Then cancel one of your previous lines and still end up with two lines only your able to get a new phone..... This is not 100% for sure tho. Which is why I asked this question for more info on it
