My dad can upgrade his phone, but he doesn't want to, so can I use his upgrade to get a new phone for myself? We have a Verizon family plan, I have unlimited 3g plan, and he just has a normal non 3g phone.

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..

Go in store Or order the phone online and have it moved to your account over the phone.

Any SERO owners here switch over to SERO Premium and get the EPIC?
I'm thinking about doing it but I was just wondering do I have to get the EPIC through Sprint or can I just buy it off eBay and activate it myself?
I hate contracts and would much rather buy the phone in full off eBay but that Sprint page about SERO Premium mentioned something about how only phones bought through Sprint could be activated and they won't activate a phone that was bought through a third-party.
Just curious if anyone here has updated to SERO Premium and how did it go.
<raises hand>
It was easy as pie all my perks came along for the ride too!
SERO Premium doesn't require a new contract when you upgrade. You should be able to activate it as long as the phone has a clean ESN - the activation process is no different than other Sprint phones. I bought my Epic through Sprint telesales, and the upgrade process from my SERO 500 minute plan to SERO Premium was painless and took about 5 minutes.
Enjoy your space phone - the Epic makes my overclocked TP2 seem ancient and useless.
Bought off sprints website for the 250 in discounts. I had it on 9/30 so had to wait a day to activate.
250 for 2 years is 10/month off compared to buying off ebay offsets the 4g 10/month charge.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I don't have much to worry about.
By the way, what number do I call when I want to upgrade to SERO Premium?

A friend of mine was looking at switching from a regular plan to a prepay plan and he was wondering if he goes and buys the cheapest phone they have can he put the SIM from that into his Vibrant and use it prepay. Also if down the road he decides to get a different phone can he take the prepay SIM and put it into the new phone without having to get a new SIM.
Yeah, a tmo prepay sim would work in a vibrant. And yes, you can put that sim in any tmo phone.

Yeah, I do the EM+ thing and I keep a couple of blackberries as backups and swap over all the time.
Of course, that's technically different from full blown prepay.

Hey does anyone do just a data plan on a vibrant/smartphone? I'm thinking about doing that, with free GV texts, and signing up for a SIP acct to get free VOIP calls... I think you can get 2 gigs of data for $30 prepaid.
Just wondering if anyone has done this or thought about it?
Here is an article at tmonews that can help you with the prepaid stuff

Depends on your usage of course but I bought a $100 prepaid card and just use the $1.49 data for 24 hours. It's been good enough for my uses and since I work from home just use it on weekends if need be. Maybe a weekday here and there too.
Guys, does anyone use Prepay Widget? Im planning on going on holiday and want to know if it works...

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.

So I have been following this all day in the SGS3 forums (see here) and the servers got hit so bad that many users were without data AND calling for up to 5hours. Obviously this is a big deal and tons of people are switching but just be patient. My wife is going to the store (you can do it on-line too) tomorrow to set it up for us. I'll post updates if we hit any roadblocks.
Edit:: Ok so my wife went to do this today and she said it was like a mob scene. Said that there were people everywhere and the employees were cooking out promoting this whole thing. Took her about an hour to get through the line and get everything switched over. I got a text at work about a hour ago and it said that our plan changed. I check and it is unlimited and no interuption in service either.
Woody like, hehe!!!
Oh and they say that the HotSpot doesn't work, but it does. I checked. You can also go to the market and get Foxfi if you don't have the HS already.
I just switched over to the new plan and cut my Bill . I was paying $5 more for 5GB . No more throttle .

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.

Has Verizon updated their unlimited data plan? I've had it or a few years now and was wondering what the latest guidelines I should follow to keep the plan intact when my contact renews next summer.

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
