Ok so u got the IP5, who has kept unlimited data...

[mtcowdog]

Gone baby gone. 2gb plan now.

 

[Peligro911]

I have to start figuring out how to keep my unlimited on iPhone 6 now without paying full retail .. When there is a will there is a way haha

 

[jessedholm]

Me! Still rocking my unlimited
Plan baby! Actually I was about to get throttled when I upgraded to the 5 but I got reset with the contract renewal! Woot! And now I can go up to 5gb before throttling kicks in.
Missing pdanet...dying for that untethered jailbreak so i can experience tethering lte to my mba!

 

[iLoveApple16]

No more unlimited data plan for me sadly. 3GB plan now.

I'm going to flip a lid on those Verizon people come on they know people are going to swap lines they should have sim cards in stock

Tell me about it. They sell the phone they should have accessories. I can't even get a spare lightning cable Verizon has none and its a 3 week wait on apples website....INSANE lol

So I read as much as I could I think. This is my understanding. I can upgrade an eligible dumbphone in a family plan for an IP5 with one of the tiered data plan. After receiving the IP5, do not turn it on and call Verizon to activate it on another not-upgrade-eligible unlimited smartphone line. Pls confirm if this is correct? Thx so much in advance

You got it !!

The thunderbolt cable issue is irritating. I use it in my car and taking the cable from my house to car everyday is going to get old real quick.

I'll be keeping my unlimited as well. I'm hopefully going to finally be getting it tomorrow hopefully. I've spent three hours over two days sp far dealing with an incompetent third party store. Hopefully tomorrow will be the end of it.(let's put it this way, they don't believe you can replace the sim in a VZW iPhone)

The apple stores have them in stock and I have seen some on eBay.

Thx Peligro911. That was extremely quick reply.

Here is another scenario. What do I do to keep unlimited data if the only upgrade-eligible smartphone is already unlimited in a family plan? Do I transfer this eligible upgrade to another dumbphone lines (I can do this right?) and follow the steps on the previous post to get the new IP5? Thx in advance

That is interesting lol I'm not sure but from what I understand the line that you renew the contact would lose the upgrade and since you would renew contact on the unlimited line I think you would lose it but that's just my opinion

 

[dmt316]

I did. Just added a new line. Will prob cancel it in a week or 2

 

[gixxer07600]

If you cancel the new line then you will still get charged an etf. That's the way it is with AT&T anyways. AT&T let me keep my unlimited plan. Also didn't get the full upgrade though. But still have heard that people with AT&T using full upgrades have been allowed to keep it. AT&T told me when I got my iPhone 4 that when I upgraded again I would have to forfeit it. I bought the 4s and galaxy' s2 and now the iPhone 5 since then and still have unlimited data. Glad AT&T isn't totally screwing us over yet.

While true the cost of the phone and the etf is cheaper then buying outright.

The cost of the subsidized phone + two years of that new line are cheaper than sub'd phone + etf.


.... also

I'm w/o a sim card usage, so the iPhone 5 64GB I bought still hasn't been turned on. 14hrs it's been here, but hasn't even been turned on yet. Hopefully the store nearest me, 35 freakin miles, has at least ONE card there when I get there in an hour and a half.

I forgot to Ask one thing. Even though I upgraded on another line, I still have an upgrade on my line that wasn't used. Do i transfer the upgrade or leave it? If i activate the phone in my line which has an upgrade I'm thinking I would lose unlimited.....

 

[F34R]

Unless I'm mistaken, if you upgrade a line that is on the unlimited plan, you'll lose the unlimited on the entire plan, or doing a 2GB data on that one line, that one line loses the unlimited.

You will lose unlimited on the line that you upgrade on. Best route would be for you to get the 2gb for $30 on that line. That's what I'm doing. Giving the 2gb to my wife since she never goes over 1gb anyways. And I use over 6gb.
Hope that clears up your question

Verizon associated the sim number with your new line you added they prob typed it in the store but look at bright side you will have a iPhone 5 on unlimited LTE
