Raised by Hamsters posted:If I pay off the device balance for a phone on an EDGE contract, is there any significant delay before I can sell the phone on Swappa or something like that? What? No. once you pay your Edge / device payment deal you can do whatever you want. You could probably even sell contracted or device payment tied phones on Swappa while still under contract or payment plan. You would just owe Verizon the rest of the rest of the phone cost or contract cancellation fee. I can't imagine Swappa has some way to check contract or payment plan status with VZW.

Suddenly at 2:57am (EST) it popped up saying my line was available for a special upgrade, and let me upgrade right then an there. Wow. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out a way around my contract not being up yet. This was my first middle of the night pre-order on a phone... surprised by how smoothly it went. limekle fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Sep 12, 2015 |

Looks like the site went live about 4 minutes early. I think I nabbed the 64gb Space Grey, but I may run into issues since my mother is the primary account holder on our family plan and my credit card to pay the taxes wont match her primary billing address. We'll see. And it's still showing a $40 line access charge rather than it dropping to $15 out of contract on our More Everything plan, but I believe that's because my contract doesn't technically end until next weekend. Good luck all.

Are you me? I also got a 64gb Space Gray 4 minutes early, and worried after about having used my card to pay the taxes with my mother being the primary account holder. AND I spent a while trying to figure out why it was showing my monthly payment as having a $40 line access charge, until I realized it's probably because my contract isn't actually up yet. Weird.

if it helps, i did the same thing (paid for a phone with a card not matching the primary account holder's name) but also paid for a different phone with a card in the account holder's name. neither one has advanced beyond "your order is being processed, please check back later."

I spoke with a customer support rep this morning and he said paying for the sales tax with a card having a different zip code shouldn't throw up any red flags. And because I was already authorized to make changes to the account, I could make changes to the order. So I had them change the shipping address to me rather than my mother who's in another state. Crossing my fingers it all works out.

Did they do away with my "transfer my upgrade to my son's line, buy new subsidized device, keep UDP" loophole? Just going through the website it seems like we're still good, but I had to ask some questions with a chat CSR and she said if I transfer my upgrade I lose UDP. I'm sure that's the script, but just wanted to double check with you folks.

Is there any requirement to keep the phone that's under a subsidy through the length of the contract? I have an iPhone 6 I bought a year ago under the More Everything plan so it was subsidized and I am under contract through Sept 2016 (though I'm probably going to switch to the Verizon Plan since it looks like I'll get one more gigabyte for the same price). With the new Apple upgrade plan I'm thinking to shift to a 12-month upgrade cycle and get a 6s. Obviously I'll be paying the $40 vs $20 line access charge through Sept 2016 plus the Apple monthly charge for the new phone, but is there any reason I can't sell/trade-in my current iPhone 6 that was bought with the subsidy? I know the SIM is unlocked; hell, it has a Vodafone ES SIM in it at the moment since I'm traveling, but I wasn't sure if there was any other type of subsidy lock or database in place.

Don't you have to wait until your contract is finished to switch to the new plan (since the new one isn't a 2 year contract and your phone is subsidized based on your contract)?

No; it's in the Verizon Plan FAQs; you can switch, but the lines that still have active contracts will be $40 for line access instead of $20. E: and you can't cancel until the contract period is up presumably. Verizon posted:You can switch to The Verizon Plan anytime, but the monthly access charges for all devices on 2-year contracts will remain at $40 until each device contract expires. Once each device contract expires, the monthly access charge will automatically drop to $20. fordan fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Sep 13, 2015 |

I was messing around on my online account and this time it did prompt me to switch my unlimited data plan. However, I am not too worried as just saving up for a phone isn't that bad (right now).

Alright, I am also asking about the new T-Shirt plans. Here's the math I've done. We're currently on the 10GB More Everything plan. We pay $254 a month, with 2 Device Payment agreements and a 20% discount on the account charges from my work. So, the comparable plan I think is the 12GB XL plan. The monthly breakdown would be: $80 for data $80 for 4 * $20 device line access fee $23 for the first Device Payment Agreement $31 for the second Device Payment Agreement $10 for insurance on my dad's phone because he's got butter fingers So this adds up to $224, and I figure the fees per line won't go away, so that adds about $16 to the bill for a total of $240. What would my 20% discount apply towards, if anything? The $80 data bucket/service thing? And am I missing anything obvious from the potential new breakdown? 2 extra gigs and saving a few bucks would be nice...

Protocol7 posted:Alright, I am also asking about the new T-Shirt plans. Here's the math I've done. This all looks about right to me. We are in just about the same exact boat. We have 4 smartphones on a 10GB +1GB More Everything plan and it comes out to about $255/mo. After talking with a Verizon rep through chat the only real difference for us between the More Everything plan and the new Verizon Plan is that on More everything our line access fee is only $15 off contract versus the $20 on the Verizon Plan. Otherwise everything comes out to be about a wash. The 20% discount I believe only gets applied toward your $80 bucket/service like you had guessed. If your line access charges are $20 instead of $15, then you might gain 2GB extra by switching to the Verizon plan with pretty much the same monthly cost.

If you switch the new Verizon plans, the phone access is just $40 until the two year contract is up. Example: 3GB plan ("medium") 3GB: $45 Line access: $40 until contract is over, then $20 Chrome book: $10 You can always stop by a corporate store and see if they have other options, but that is probably what you are looking at.

My Moto X Pure arrived...I'm trying to use the nano SIM from my previous Verizon device, and it didn't activate. I called customer service, they were just interested in the IMEI number and told me they couldn't find the device when looking it up. Guy I was talking to put me on hold to get someone else onto the call, who told me: "We can't activate the device because it is not compatible with the Verizon network"  Am I going to have to go into a Verizon store to get this activated?

Lowen SoDium posted:Everyone still clinging to unlimited data. Yeah, which is probably low single digits of subscriber base right now (if even above 1%). Not really even worth recognizing. I say this again. There are not enough unlimited people left for Verizon to expend any resources at all loving with them. It's not worth a consideration anymore. It's a rounding error in their subscriber base.

I'm still one of those people, but honestly it's probably just less of a headache now to just hop on a new plan. Looking at my history I don't use more than 2GB/mo anyway, and unlimited texting would be nice, so these new plans might actually save me  Now, isn't there a new Motorola coming out this month or next month? My Droid Maxx is on its last legs, so I figure I'll hop on a new plan when I buy a new phone, and if a new one is coming out soon...

I've been on AT&T for a while, since way back when they exclusively had the iPhone. No real issues with their service but there are a couple spots where Verizon gets coverage that I don't. Combine that with an 18% discount or something from work, I'm thinking about switching over to Verizon. Next month my contract will be up with AT&T so I can start a new plan, get a new iPhone, and transfer my number over. My question is, does Verizon give you any incentive at all to switch carriers?

Verizon states that the activation issue has been fixed. http://www.droid-life.com/2015/09/15/an-update-on-activating-moto-x-pure-editions-at-verizon/ Rockker, maybe you tried to active the phone right when they were updating systems and that's why it failed?
