My VZW contract is up on the 29th. I'm currently on the 1400 minute NW talk & text family plan with unlimited data. We have 2 lines together on the family plan and we are both do for our upgrades, we have been eligible since August but don't want to lose unlimited data. I was thinking about switching to T-Mobile and getting the unlimited plan for us but it's more expensive than my current plan. Once my contract does end on the 29th do I lose my current plan? Or am I just month to month, basically off-contract? I'm curious on what happens once the 29th hits?
Line 1 - Unlimited Data (Eligible for upgrade Now
Line 2 - Unlimited Data (Eligible for upgrade Now)
Anyways, I need help better understanding this "dummy line" method for keep unlimited data. I'm trying to upgrade to an 32gb iPhone 5s and my wife wants a 16gb 5c. A kind user here at the forums, DayThyme, wrote what to do be I'm still having a hard time what do, I need a very detailed guide on how to do this. I'm nervous that I'll go ahead and try this only to screw it up and lose my plan/data.
I'm not really tech savvy so this is why it's hard for me to understand. I thank anyone ahead of time for there help. It's pretty urgent that I get this resolved and make the best decision, whether to stay with VZW or say adios.
Thanks for your time and help!

1. Add a line - the line will come with a subsidized phone;
2. Pick the 2GB data plan and an iPhone;
3. Activate the new iPhone on the new line;
4. Activate a dumbphone on the new line and drop the data plan (this may happen automatically or you may have to call to get the data plan removed);
5. Activate the new iPhone on one of your unlimited data lines by using the SIM card that came with the iPhone or by getting a new SIM card for it;
6. Transfer one of the unlimited data line's upgrades to the dumbphone line and repeat steps 2-5.
