Adding a line to a family plan online - selecting a phone number

I am on a family plan.
I understand that if I change the number for an existing line, I can only select from numbers in the same area.
However, if I add a new line to the account, will I be able to select an area code from a different part of the state?
Thanks,
Robert

Yes - we added a line for my Mom to our family plan, and she lives across the country. We were able to get her a "local" number for her area in NY state, while all the rest of our #'s are local to us in California.

  • How to delete an unused line from a family plan.

    Hi, I'm just wondering which number I would need to call to delete a line from my plan. I had a family plan with a total of four lines on it. I am the account holder, and two of the lines were removed onto their own plan today. That leaves me and my brother as the only two lines on the family plan. I want to cancel his line (his contract is already up and he apparently lost his phone months ago and doesn't care to replace it) and start a plan by myself. I have tried calling the basic toll free number and I am switched back and forth among everyone I talk to, and the online chat is ALWAYS busy. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this from My Verizon or if there was a number I could call that would direct me to a department specifically dealing with these issues. Thanks in advance.

    Cancelling a line has to be done in person or on the phone with customer service.  If you call the 800-922-0204 number, choose option 4 and then say "Agent" when prompted.  You should be connected to a live person in a couple of minutes.
    Or you can visit a Verizon store.... they will, of course, try to talk you out of it, but just be firm.  You will likely have to change your plan from a shared to an individual plan, since you will be the only line left.

  • How do i remove a line from my family plan?

    I need to remove a line from my family plan, how do i do it on the computer?

    You can't cancel service on-line; you'll need to either call Customer Service or visit your local Corporate Verizon store.

  • Family Plan Upgrade to New Phones/Activation

    Hi,
    My mom is the primary line for our family plan. We have 3 other lines besides hers in the plan. All the phonelines are eligible for upgrades right now, but my mom's line has an extra $50 dollars off upgrade discount.
    My question is, if my mom's line is upgraded to a certain phone, does that certain phone have to be activated using her phone number, or could I activate her phone and use it with my phone number?
    Reason being is, she doesn't want a fancy phone but her line has nicer phones to upgrade to since she has the $50 discount. I was wondering if she could upgrade to that phone, but then if I could activate it using my phone number (so in effect the phone would actually be mine without my phone number having to change)?
    Thanks,
    MM
    Oh I was also wondering, when it says "Data Pack required" for a phone that I want to upgrade to, do I have to get a data pack in order to upgrade to the phone or get one after upgrading to the phone? Can I just upgrade to the phone without using data or getting a data pack?

Note that any phone that is eligible to upgrade can purchase any of the phones that Verizon currently offers at the 1 or 2 year contract price.  The only difference in what is available to your Mom's line is the $50 credit ON TOP of the reduced contract price.

You must have a data package active on the line that the phone is active on at all times.  When you activate the phone on any line, you will be automatically prompted to select an appropriate data package,

  • Line Charges on Family Plan

    Is it normal for every line, including the primary line to have a $9.99 Line Charge? We have an $80 plan with three lines and all three of them have a $9.99 Line Charge. I thought the $80 included the first line.

    If you look at the Family Plans, it shows plans for 700 min($69.98), 1400 min($89.98), 2000 min($99.98) and unlimited($119.98) which includes the 1st 2 lines.
    This will not show up on your bill as a single price, but broken up into a base price + $9.99 for EACH line. For example with the 1400 minute plan which sounds like what you have, it would be base price of $70 + $9.99 + $9.99 for a total of $89.98. Since you have a 3rd line, there would be an additional line charge of $9.99 for a total plan charge of $99.97. Of course your bill will be higher by any other features you have added and taxes/fees.
    Did your bill total suddenly jump?

  • Deleting lines from the family plan

    Hi, 
    I have a family plan on my name with 5 lines on it. One of the phones is IPhone and the other ones are simple call&text phones.
    If I want to get rid of one of the lines, what are fees for that? I cant find it online anywhere. When I visited store the Verizon stuff were very obscure in information about canceling plans and lines, so I did not get precise info. 
    Thanks!

    Is there something more on that on Verizon website? Is there a discount if I want to terminate the whole contract? I am not satisfied at all... 
    So you want a BETTER deal the more you cancel? Don't think so.
    From the Verizon website:
    " If you cancel a line of Service, or if we cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an Early Termination Fee. If your contract term results from your purchase of an Advanced Device after November 14, 2009, your Early Termination Fee will be $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. (For a complete list of Advanced Devices, check verizonwireless.com/advanceddevices.) Otherwise, your Early Termination Fee will be $175 minus $5 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then. Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether they charge a separate termination fee."

  • Will my bill increase if I cancel all but one line on my family plan?

    I would like to keep one line (a smartphone) on my family plan and cancel the other 3 lines (2 smartphones and one basic phone). The contract is up on the 3 lines I want to cancel at the end of October, but the contract isn't up for the one line I want to keep until December. If I cancel all but the one, will my bill go up/change to a single personal plan on the single line for the remainder of its contract length? I tried calling customer service and doing the online chat and couldn't get through to talk to an actual person. I'm getting ready to just jump ship and not keep any lines at this point.

        Don't jump, rilobilly. We don't want to see you go! We do offer a Single Line Plan http://vz.to/1d0wrWV for only $60 per month with 2GB if you do decide to leave only one smartphone on your plan. What plan do you have now? What has you wanting to cancel so many of your lines? We want to help.

  • What is the process for transferring 2 lines from separate family plans and joining them in their own share plan?

    I am part of a family plan (not the owner) and my boyfriend is part of a family plan, also not the owner of it.  We would like to transfer both of our phones out of our family plans and do our own share plan together. What is the process for this??

    Have each of the account owners contact Verizon to let them know that you will be doing an AOL on your lines. Then you call Verizon and explain what you want to do. Just that easy. But understand you'll have to get the new Share everything plan.

  • HT4515 Family plan, I have primary phone on plan. Wife's phone when sending photo txt  to her gmail acct, goes to my phone. I do not even have a gmail acct.

    Family plan, I have primary # w/o any email usage on my phone. Wife sends a photo via txt to her gmail acct. and I get the messege, why

    Ok, that's the problem.  You can share apple id for apps/music.  However it is best to have separate apple id for icloud/facetime and imessage.
    On both devices - go to settings - message - send&receive - either uncheck or remove the apple id.
    then when you or your wife create a new apple id, you can input it in.

  • Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same phone number?  Thanks.

    Hi,  Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same AT&T phone number?  Thanks.

    Hi
    There are always some wrinkles in this kind of change.  If you have a home security system like ADT they require a land-line for their system to work.  This less of an issue in apartments and condos - it's mostly a "house" issue.
    Before you make the switch (and there may be a switching fee) just make sure you cover all the bases.
    Cheers

  • Sharing upgrades between lines in a family plan

    Say Line 1 is eligible for an upgrade as of 9/4/2014 but Line 2 isn't eligible until 8/6/15. Is there any way I could switch the contracts between the two so that Line 2 can upgrade to a new phone? Thanks!

    The contract stays with the line, always. But you can use an upgrade and activate the phone on another line.

  • Just called trying to swap my Iphone 5 on another line on my family plan...

    and a rep stated that they were unable to at the moment, and that the system was getting so many requests that they could not be done until after 12am tonight.  She didn't seem to say anything about having to get another SIM card, said she would give me a call back tomorrow and go through with the process.
    I asked her if it would be any quicker in the store, she said it might or might not be.  Being as all information goes to the same place, more then likely she said it wouldn't matter.
    If anyone has any input, please let me know. 

    I have read SO many different posts this week with different instructions on how to handle this. My iPhone is due to arrive in the next hour via FedEx and now I'm confused.
    1. Do I or do I not activate it before I attempt the swap?
    2. Is it a given that the Nano SIM will have to be swapped if I'm changing number?
    3. Is the Nano SIM card truly necessary for the phone to work (I've even heard different answers to this question, believe it or not. Someone in another thread said it would actually work okay without it but wouldn't make international calls)?
    Does anyone have a success story today on how they accomplished this? I'm definitely all ears!
