How can I keep my old plan (unlimited Data)

I am eligible for an upgrade, but it looks to me that doing that means losing my old data plan which is unlimited, with 1400 shared minutes to the new share everything plan and tiered data plans. I am trying to find a way to keep my current plan, but without resorting to purchasing the smartphone outright. Would adding a new line be an option?
Thanks in advance

Adding a new line (if you have a line available) would be an option - you could then place a"dumb" phone on that line for the 24 months of contract and pay the extra $10 + taxes per month  - ~$250.00 over the 2 year contract.  The new phone would then be activated on your line, maintaining unlimited data (for now).  That too, could change at any time, since the data is an added "feature" and not part of the contract.
Other options:
Purchase the phone through a private party (used, perhaps) and activate on your line - you may find a sweet deal - just be sure the phone is "clean" and Verizon branded.  Ebay, Swappa, friends....
Using the upgrade from another line on the plan that may or may not currently have a data plan - not everyone needs or uses unlimited, and a 2 GB limit may work for another line, allowing you to keep the unlimited on your line.
I was hesitant to let go of my unlimited plan when moving away from my BlackBerry, but it's been fine.  I find with wifi available nearly everywhere, I'm using less than 1 GB of my allowance each month, and I don't feel "limited".  Two daughters on the plan with me have iPhones, and occasionally they will flirt with the limit, but have not gone over. 
Good luck.

    Unless you kept the original installer packages or can download or use the installer disks again, there is no way to save all the programs as those might be infected too.
    Preferably it's best to maintain bootable clones on separate drives to restore a older system and software you can't get anymore.

  • How can I keep the old version of iMovie when I add the new version?

    In the past, when I new version of iMovie came out, I kept the old working version by puttting it inito a folder, and labeled it 'Old iMovie', or some such.  When I installed the new version, it didn't recognize that folder, and left the old version alone. That way, if there were bugs/problems with the new version, I could always revert to the "old" version, without probems.
    Would that still work?
    Thanks

    PS:  How is the new version working? 

    You don't need to move anything around. Apple has anticipated that some people may prefer to use the old version along with the new one, so when you update to iMovie 10, a script runs that puts your iMovie 9 into a folder inside your Applications folder:
    /Applications/iMovie 9.0.9
    People are having a lot of problems with the new version. You can look through this forum to find out what they are, and see if there are workarounds.
    I updated to 10, updated all my Projects and Events, and began using it; but after about 10 days decided to go back to 9. I'll try 10 again when Apple releases an update to fix the problems and add back some of the features they stripped out.

  • How can I keep my old things from own apple account and move it to a new one?

    I got a new iTunes account today and all of my old things (videos, pictures, music, apps, etc.) are all on the old account, which is my dad's. I want to have all of my stuff on my iPhone, but also have a new Apple Account.

    You will not be able to transfer the items purchased or the other Apple ID. You will need to reinstall the data under your Apple ID and pay for the apps. 

  • How can I keep my old stock still running after updating to Maverick ?

    OK --» I bought a wonderful Architect software, but surprise ! it works only with higher OS than 10.6.8....
    I know my stuff is OLD and I'm okay to update to MAVERICK, but !! I don't want to lose my old softwares that I know by heart !
    So, I was thinking : if I make a BACKUP on a large USB Key... Will I be able to start my old Photoshop CS (for example) from the key ?... or something like that...
    In the past, this option worked (from a external disk) from my very old iMac... but am wondering if it still could be possible ?
    And BY THE WAY : my new ARCHITECT software has been downloaded to my actual 10.6.8 (but does not start...) will it STILL BE THERE after updating???
    Thankssssss a LOT for your support !

    You need to know that "USB Key" technology may not be appropriate for a system disk.  Check out "wear leveling" on Wikipedia for a sobering discussion of the service life of solid-state drives.  Also read "solid-state drives" (Ibid.) for a detailed comparison with hard disk technology.

    I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working.  I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it.  When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan.  However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan.  I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone.  Same thing happened.  Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

    Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

    I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?  Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

    The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
    *From the article*:
    Products Affected
    iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    How can I access my old iphoto libary on my newer laptop?
    I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

    Do the following:
    rename the old library to something other that iPhoto Library.
    copy the library to the Pictures folder on your new laptop.
    launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the old library to open it and convert it to the newer version.
    Note:  if the older version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on it before opening with iPhoto on your new laptop.
    If you want to merge the two libraries into one library and keep the edited versions, keywords, titles, etc. you'll need to use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to do the merging.
